Madison's Flipflops and Flowers - This baby quilt incorporates Hawaiian print and hand dyed fabric. Simple baby quilt made for friends. I designed quilt wanting to feature flipflops because I had seen some flipflop quilts and because I knew this would be an outdoor girl.

Tribute to Troop 236 Band - Troop 236 Band goes on a large trip every other year. Disney World, Washington DC, Toronto, Canada are just some of them. I made this quilt as a memory quilt for my DH. We've gone on most trips with them.

Neutrals Quilt - I started this quilt in an Alex Anderson class on neutrals. I finally finished it, and I really like it. It is machine pieced, hand appliqued and machine quilted. The pattern is available at my Etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/carolyndesign

Winter Hunt - I love the intrique and power of big cats and have painted several cats from Africa. It seemed time to showcase a North American cat.. the mountain lion, also known as a puma, even leopard. This piece is a whole cloth painting with ink, with significant amounts of threadwork.

Schizo Rose - This quilt is called "Schizo Rose" because of the multiple personalities the rose acquired during the design process. Colors change where the quilt is "fractured", and "ghost" leaves are abundant. I was inspired by Katie Pasquini Masopust's books, and used Caryl Bryer Fallert's applipiecing technique. The free motion quilting was done by me, without marking, on my home sewing machine. For quilting detail, see My Personal Photos.

Fun & Giggles - This quilt was designed from some fun fabrics I had for my 5 year old Niece to watch tv with on cold winter nights as a lap quilt. She takes it everywhere with her.

Ryan and Amy's Wedding Quilt - I was inspired -no AWED - by Jan Krentz and her unique take on this pattern. I was driven to make one - but I drove slow - and took 2 years to complete. It's a wedding present for my nephew and his bride, given in time for their first anniversary.

First Quilt - First quilt made while taking beginning quilt class at LQS with DD. Loved the focus fabric...still had a lot to learn about value!

Ben's T-shirt quilt - Made for DS#2 using t-shirts and soccer jerseys from grade school thru HS. Wonky setting was a challenge with too many long bias edges; was very glad to complete this project (and he loves it!)

Autumn Migration - Fall colors for a first-ever paper piecing lesson-plan to do a 4 season series using the same block; Winter-Christmas trees is in progress, Spring Tulips and Summer Corn planned.

Bouquet for a New Day - Appliqued flowers and vases

I Will Be Here - Made as a wedding quilt for a friends daughter - it was going to be 'snuggled under' and she didn't want anything too fussy but loved a 'shabby chic' look with florals. This was a really simple pattern made with a Simplicity Layer Cake from Moda. I read a poem at their wedding and embroidered the first line along the top border.

Oklahoma Redbuds - This quilt reminds me of home.
