I Love Lucy - this quilt was inspired by the I Love Lucy fabric depicting the Chocolate Factory episode and the episodes devoted to the road trip to Hollywood, CA.
Star Delight - The lone Star which was made in a workshop with Jan Krentz is appliqued along with flowers from Patricia Campbell's Jacobean Rhapsodies to a background fabric.
Name of Maker: Students of MLC, Beth Gallo, Kathy Strelko
Journey to Independence - The students at MLC, which educates handicapped young adults to live independently, made the blocks for this quilt, which brought $3,400 at the school's annual fundraiser.
California Bound - A Holstein Cow driving a late modle cheve to California. The idea came from California Milk Advisory Board line of Adds where California Cows are happy Cows.
Southwestern Table Runner & Placemats - Purchased fabric for table runner when I saw the project but didn't even start it until 2009 and finished it this year. The salmon main print included fabric I intended for placemats years ago to match the window valances I made and used in my dining room. I reused the valance fabric for the backing on this project.
The Shirts Off My Back - Nick's mom hired me to make this quilt using his tshirts for his 17th birthday. Thankfully she gave me plenty of time and it took a lot longer than I expected! His birthday is on Wednesday and I hope he is thrilled!!
He is a friend of my son's and visited with us in Sept 2008. He knew I was making the quilt but maybe has forgotten by now. His mom said he is the kid that enjoys and remembers all the memories so I think this quilt will make him happy!
It is extra-long twin for his future dorm room.
Our Pets - I saw this fabic and didn't know how to use it till I thought of this pattern. I just love the puppies and kittens and it does bring smiles to faces.
Mardi Gras - This quilt was for my oldest daughter. I quilted the blocks individually and then joined them. The back became a checker board pattern and the upper corner blocks were hand quilted.
A round the garden - Made the blocks in 1993 in a class on Balitmore quilts.
Designed the border and put the quilt together in 2004. The border applique is machine done.
Tequila Sunrise - I used Judy B Dales book "Curves in Motion quilts and techniqes" to design this quilt.
I did not use her technique of 1/4" seams, I instead used Bonder web and then machine stitch
over the edges.
Pine leaves - This is a round robin quilt. I asked members of the group to make a pine leaf for me giving them a photo of a stylied bright colour pine leaf.
Then with the blocks I got back I arranged them anad made the wall hanging.
