Ghost of the Arctic Sky - Lovely pattern, one of many from Legends of the West

Ruth's Case - My friend is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, hence the orange color and a lawyer, hence the block.

Ode to Christopher - This t-shirt quilt was made to celebrate my nephew receiving his EMT license.

Garden Cat - This was made after attending a fusing workshop with Melody Johnson. It is made using Melody's pattern and her hand dyed fabrics.

4th of July - This full sized quilt, based on a pattern by Judy Niemeyer covers my cousin's bed in Honolulu.

Kelly's Graduation - Since I was a novice quilter when this quilt was begun in December 1995 for my daughter's May high school graduation, I did not know how long it took to quilt a King Size quilt. Nevertheless, it is finished for Christmas 2006 (and an upcoming PhD degree) and I loved every minute of working on it. Now on to a quilt for daughter #2!

Challah Cover - It's my first original design, a challah cover.

Les Tournesols - Continuing on with Jean Wells' beautiful flowers. The title means Sunflowers. Third Place at Quilts on the Grand 2006.

"Life is a ladder that need to be walk upward" - This was fun to make. The fannel was nice. The boarder was a new one for me, I used the continious "Young Oak courtesy of Hari Halner" design. It was entirely hand quilted but pieced by machine. This one was for P.S. Nichols, my first grandbaby, going on 18. Love you, ViVi

"You have my heart in your hands" - To my darling T.K., please accept a token of all the love I have for you. The title refers to her own hand shapes and a small hearts she drawn when she was 6. Being full-time RVer the quilt was started in Christmas, Florida and completed in Prevost, Qc, Canada. Nevertheless, the fabric was purchase at the "Homespun Craft Emperium" of Saskatoon, SK, Canada August 1st, 2001. "Your" grandma, ViVi

"Go Buccaneers Go!" - The border design is somewhat special; I used most of the fabric leftover, made strips and sown them all after the other to create the final patchwork look. This quilt was supposed to be my first machine quilted quilt...NOT! I did it all by hand, again... ViVi.

"A T-Shirt Story" - Well! at last count the boy had 65 t-shirts; therefore, this quilt was called for. With the cooperation of his family, I was able to pull this valuable and so meaninful array of t-shirts. The sashing is part of my two denim shirts I wear while in college. The cornerstone are from some favorite "boxers": SpongeBob was the inspiration behind the color scheme. As for the backing, flannel was in order. Dear JW, this one is for you. "Your" Grandma, ViVi

Cat Flowers - I used Andovers Fancy Cat printed panels to frame with applique sunflower petals, the background is two different fabrics with lines radiating from the corners, (very subtle)

Woodland Butterfly - Round quilt of mostly my hand dyed fabrics. Made with 10 degree ruler

First Log - This is my third quilt and my first log cabin quilt.
