Mom & Dad's 50th Anniversary Quilt - 3 color queen sized quilt, took a whole year to make

Yikes - This was made for the Hoffman chalenge. It was chosen to travel in one of the Trunk shows, it is currently touring the country. It was designed around a beauty block design, as I was sketching the bamboo leaves, the snakes just kind of appeared out of nowhere. Sorry about the quality of the picture, I will take a better one when the quilt gets home from touring.

Scrap Pillows - These are my first Embellished Pillows made from quilting fabric scraps using the Babylock Embellisher.

Tullamore Field - Hand dyed fabric fused to foundation. Light amount of fabric painting applied to sun and trees. Backed and bound with commercial cotton.

Little Brown Bird 2003 - Took me four years just working on it when I could - a real learning experience and requiring persistence. It was worth it - it won Best of Show in the local Guild quilt show - viewer's choice.

St. Mary's Signature Quilt - Embroidered Signature quilt for chapel with specialist long-arm quilting of Our Lady of Glastonbury, Glastonbury Tor, Holythorn and Abbey. Madonna and child beaded on back.

Pioneer Patches - This pattern is from a "weekend quilt" book belonging to someone else that I just got a few minutes to look at. I sketched the pattern and made it later from memory. This quilt top was put on an antique frame and used in a museum quilt exhibit at the Oklahoma Museum of History. After it came off exhibit, I quilted it by hand. It now hangs on my kitchen wall.

Wuthering Heights Beauty - I made this quilt from the Wuthering Heights collection by Moda (and a few fabrics from my stash). I love the romantic pinks and turquoise combination and the matching pillow sets it off. The bed it is on belonged to my grandfather and I have wonderful memories of playing on it as a child.
