Trent's Quilt - I made this for my Great Nephew. It is just a basic patchwork quilt with a border. Made from homespun and stitched in the ditch with my sewing machine.
Love & Peace - I made this quilt with no intended recipient in mind. Just loved the fabric and pattern. I decided to give it to my nephew for his new son, Vincent. It's made with a '60's style VW Bug print with flowers, peace signs, & butterflies. It's also quilted with peace signs, butterflies, & flowers in different coordinating threads.
Let's Go Fly a Kite - Decided to use Blank Fabrics Peking Kids fabric and the leftover orange batiks I had and this is what emerged. The background fabric is Chinese kites. Free motion quilting is kites and kite tails.
Hexagon Bonanza ! - I pieced this in 2009 and was waiting until I had my longarm machine to quilt it, and having also purchased a circle lord at the same time, I quilted it with swirls and circles within a week of receiving my APQS Lenni and circle lord. I absolutely love my new longarm !!
Although I thought this was too bright initially thinking that all I could see was orange, it has grown on me and now I love it, plus with its flannel backing it is so cosy and warm to snuggle under at night.
Carey's Quilt - I made this quilt as a wedding present for my daughter, Carey. I love Marsha McCloskey's feathered star blocks but was unsure my piecing skills were up to it. I was very proud of the results. Catherine Hanna of The Quilted Garden in Surrey, BC did a magnificent job of quilting on her long arm. My daughter loves her quilt.
Oriental Ribbon Surprise - This quilt contains many oriental fabrics. I made it as part of a $5.00 quilt class. The class took 6 months. The overall design wasn't clear until about the fourth month.
English Garden - This was a 10 month block of the month. Most applique blocks were from Eleanor Burns, the rest from Janna L. Sheppard and Owens and Wilens.
Beyond Color Purple - Beyond Color Purple is a machine embroidered Queen Size Quilt with a center medallion surrounded by 16 blocks separated by sashing and finished with a large border.
Forever Blooming - I took an Applique class with Megan Johnson at FabricLand in NJ and "finally" finished hand quilting this wall hanging... because some of my PTQ guild members said... Oh you must HAND quilt this after the hand applique you did.... So, I did, and I'm not sorry.. but it did take a L-O-N-G time.
BOM 2009 For Sue - This is the 2009 BOM finished January 12, 2010. This was a year long project that was fun to do, although at times I hated the quilt and my workmanship. I made so many mistakes in both the blocks and the quilting, that I'm surprised that it looks as well as it does.
