Dinosaur quilt - This design was from the Moda Dinosaur. Used differnet fabric but same pattern.

"Textures of my life" - This quilt was donated to AAQ for their 2009 auction.

Misty's Quilt - Construction is similar to the Log Cabin block. Browns and greens were the colors requested by my niece, Misty, for this "just because" quilt. It was pieced during a very hectic year; I credit it with helping me keep my sanity! I like to do something that I have not done before on each quilt. The on-point squares border was my new experience for this quilt. It was hand quilted on my Hinterberg frame.

Florida Rainforest - My nephew John had a new room in a new house, and he decorated it as a rainforest. When I saw this panel, I thought it would be a great floor pillow to use when watching TV. But when John saw it, he said that he wanted a quilt! So I "grew" the panel with borders, finishing off with some flying geese surrounding opposite corners.

Third Grade Animals - My third grade class wanted to make a quilt. We decided to make it an artistic one with each student using fabric crayons and drawing his or her favorite animal. I took various fabrics from my stash and let the students choose fabrics to border each block. Each student kept his/her block with threaded needles and border pieces in a zip lock bag. When they had free time, they pulled out their block and hand pieced it together. I sewed the blocks together. We put the quilt on a traditional frame balanced on chairs in the library and some parents and grandparents helped quilt it. The students agreed to auction off the quilt to benefit the Parents' Club. It was a great project!

"Kuna Meets Seminole Indian" - Seminole quilting style with mola blouse inset

You Are a Star - I made this quilt for my sister, because she is a star, she would give anyone the shirt off her back, so for that reason I designed (on EQ6), pieced and longarm quilted this quilt for her.

Heart to Heart - This quilt is made with Warm & Natural that I dyed. The quilt was done entirely by hand.

Spooky Town - I love Halloween and I love Happy Villages. Ghosts, cats & things were fussy cut.

Winter Wonder - These villages are so much fun to do that I see many variations in my future.

Jungle Love - Made from some fat quarter pieces I just really didn't know what to do with.

Raggedy Santa - Wanted to try a rag quilt and had these santa panels, so this is the result.

Late for Harvest

60th Wedding Anniversary Quilt - This quilt was made to celebrate Tisha Campbell's parents 60th wedding anniversary. They wanted Red & Blue, antique looking quilt for displaying the photos.

Arizona Roadrunner - This pattern was purchased at the Tucson Quilt Show by a friend. She made one then several more. I fell in love with it and knew it would fit into my home as an art quilt. I begged her to work with me on making one of my own. So I purchased a pattern, then we went to work. Cutting the myriads of tiny little feather pieces I thought would be a nightmare, but with the pattern instructions and my friends encouragement it was completed. There are a few beading embellishments that I added to this piece, as well as yarn embellishment around the eye area. It is a good feeling when your husband says " I like that one, should we hang it in the living room?". Accomplishment!

Lighthouse Placemat - Who doesn't like to see the lighthouse light shining on the ocean at night? I really enjoy exploring and reading of the histories of the various lighthouses in the U.S. It all started on my first trip to Florida in 1998, since then I am entranced. So why make placemats? Well a friend had just moved into a new home and we were invited to the open house. Problem #1, her husband told my husband about it, and you know the rest of the story.... I finally got the word when she and I were having a casual conversation 3 days prior to the event. I frantically racked my brain for some idea that would be quick and yet nice to present for a house warming gift. Thus the invention of my own pattern for the lighthouse placemats. I used fusible web for applique technique. Then machine quilted the design. The light streaks coming from the lighthouse were the rest of the quilting process.
