Bargello Cross - I think this is the only quilt I have gone and purchased all the fabrics for it in one go. I usually start from the stash, and purchase if there isn't anything I like in the stash.It went together very quickly and I'm happy with it.
Bandana - My cousin, Cheri Saffro, www.saffro.com, has given me permission to use her original paintings for quilt inspiration. This was truly the most fun I've ever had making a quilt. It is a loose snippets technique (no glue), covered with black tulle and quilted. Swarovsky crystals were added on top of the tulle.
snake eyes - My first and last attemp of a bargello quilt. (It only took me 2 years for finish I kept putting it away! Can you see the eyes in the middle?
Twisted Log Cabin - This quilt was started at Road to California in a class by Bonnie Browning. It is all paper pieced(even the black) I started out making a small wall hanging and ended up making it 65" X76". I dont think I have ever ripped out so much on one quilt. It took me over a year to make.
Blues for Mom - This was a Christmas gift for my mother, who asked for something blue. I didn't have it quite finished in time, so she unwrapped a basted quilt on Christmas Day. I brought it back home and took another six weeks to quilt it. She plans to re-do her guest room around it!
My Star - I'ts a quilt I'am working have not finished it yet, the date on the picture is not right I didn't no how to take off or change date, it was my father's camera. He's not with us no more
Natty's Quillow - This quilt was made for my daughter who was working in the horse racing industry. She had to leave due to domestic violence. This quilt is now lost or stolen. One very upset daughter.
Natty's Quillow - This is a picture of the folded Quillow. It is lost or stolen and was last seen in Newmarket UK.
My daughter is devaststed by this loss.
Jenice's Love Qult - I made this "Love Quilt" for the TQS challenge. This was my first art quilt...I used trapunto, free motion quilting, fabric transfer, crazy patch and decorative stitching. The thread was Superior thread.
Batik Snowflakes - These batik shapes remind me of coloful snowflakes. I made this quilt for my husband and our wonderfully colorful Destin home. He loves it!
Peeking Out - I bought the batik faces at Houston Quilt Festival in 2008 and loved Ricky Tims' Convergence Quilts so I thought I would just dive in and try it. I loved the effect and my cousin, Cindy, loved it too.
Flor de la Mar - This quilt was made with the early Portugese navigators in mind. It tells the story of a sunken caravelle at the coast of Sumatra.
It was first entered in "Challenge 2007" at Innovations/Tacoma, WA. Much more quilting has been added at a later point in 2008.
Nature's Lace - Tropical rainforests are a much endangered, very sensitive and delicate web of life. I made this quilt, to raise a higher awareness to protect flora and fauna within the rainforests of this world.
This quilt is currently traveling for APWQ and will be available on aution at Quiltfest in Summer 2011, Tacoma/WA.
To the Beach! - This quilt was created for the Downey Touch of Comfort program that provides quilts to kids hospitalized for serious and terminal illness. The Quilts for Kids group will provide you with the fabric - you just have to add the batting, binding and some love!
Simple Elegance - A pattern testing in its final stage (original pattern but not mine). My first finished Baltimore Album top - patiently waiting for me to finish my hand quilting practice!
Faberge - I made this from a kit by Ginny Beyer and learned a lot doing it. I love the 3 dimensional look. Now I have to decide how to quilt it - may just stitch in the ditch so I don't change the 3-D look.
Peg's Boxy Stars - This quilt was made as a mystery quilt by my Iowa Quilter's group. We also exchanged 2 1/2 fabric strips for the quilt but used our own sashing and border.
