Twisted Logs - My mother needed something for a wall in her bedroom and she likes the color blue. I used EQ6 to arrange the twisted cabin blocks and then paper pieced.

Jack in the Pulpet - This applique design was a lot of fun to make. It was my second fused applique project.

Christmas Lights Mystery - This was a mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter. Done in the magazine, Quiltmaker, in three parts. Made of scraps in Christmas colors. So there are many reds and greens and lights and golds. I just happened to gets these scraps at a guild meeting that offered them for members to take. They were perfect to use in this design. What a beautiful quilt they made. I love the red and white stripe in the border. Now to discover a backing and get it quilted.

Two Firsts - Based on Quilts Plus BOM (2001?). Added blocks. This was the first "reproduction" quilt and the first BOM I did. Will do more!

Callie's I Spy - A large variety of children novelty prints were fussy cut as hexagons and set with predominantly black triangles. This was Callie's Christmas present from Granma.

Canoe Too

Just a little Neutral - This is just an every day quilt I made in neutrals to use up some of my stash. Of course, I had to buy more fabric.

Prairie Bounty - This quilt was designed by Caron Carlson of Valley Quilt Studio to benefit Prairie Star Quilters of St Charles IL

Francine's Quilt - Members of two quilting groups got together and made blocks for our friend, Francine, who was diagnosed with breast cancer. We wanted to give her something that would warm her both emotionally and spiritually. Many members contributed blocks and I designed and sewed them together into a quilt top. Another member of out group offered to do the quilting. This quilt truly took on a life of its own and in the end made its home with a very special lady.

Rag del Escondite - Diseño original mio. Cosido, aplicado y acolchado a máquina. Podeis ver el recorrido del gato....????solo le queda saltar sobre los ratones.

Lone Star - Enjoyed making this quilt so much ended up making 9 of them. I kept 2, giving the rest to family members for Christmas.

Space Kaleidoscope - Finalist in Ricky's show and tell. Gift for Godson.

Majestic Mountains - This miniature quilt has 4 inch mountains made of batiks that play well with the border fabric. The border fabric was the required component in a challenge. Since I had to fly across the country to attend the gathering, making a miniature made sense. Majestic Mountains was juried into the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza 2009.

Color Burst - This twin sized quilt used up lots of batik scraps! It was auctioned off at my church to raise money for The Heifer Project.

Quilter's Crossroads - This piece is the result of some fabric dyeing this summer and tips from Libby Lehman about using a circle stitcher.

Caveman Stars Table Runner - I cut these three stars all at once using Ricky's caveman style of freeform cutting. Lots of fun. I made the back neatly in black, white and red so it's reversible.
