Sister's Sunset - This is based on a photo I took in central Oregon. The sky is painted, the mid and foreground is original, the mountains are taken from a pattern, so I could get the Sisters mountains correctly depicted.

My Mountain - This wall hanging was inspired by the Canadian Rockies, my rock garden and the fabulous landscape fabrics now available. It has a two-inch facing instead of binding, and is heavily quilted.

Haley & Matt's Wedding Quilt - I purchased a "Bali Pop" at the Maine Quilt Show this August to make a wedding gift quilt for Haley and Matt. The bride loves green and as you can see there's lots of green in this quilt. I found this pattern on the Internet and I now can't seem to find it. I'll keep looking and if anyone just has to have it send me a message and I'll look harder.

There's no Place like home - This is designed from a photo I took of a huge wasp's nest. Quite beautiful.

Bejoux de Fleurs - Applique and bead work

Jackies Quilt - My eldest Daughter wanted a quilt in purples - after a lot of searching we found these beautiful colours at Village Fabrics in Wallingford Oxfordshire UK. It is on her bed and is used all the time and looks so good there.

Just Feeling a Little Blue - My Guild, Timberland Quilter's Guild, 2010 Paint Chip Challenge. I received a blue paint chip and decided to play off the word "blue". I took a picture of my hand, copied it onto the fabric and coloured it with water soluble pencil crayons. The hand is trapunto'd and I did a variety of background fills around it including a large 'pebble' under one finger that I painted blue. A sleeve from a thrift store shirt finished off the wrist area and the project was complete for a total cost of $3!

Focal Point: A Geometric Stained Glass Window - Inspired by stained glass windows and simple geometry, four waves of colors originate in the corners and wash over each other. A fifth wave of color originates from a single dot in the center and runs over the entire quilt. The resulting design is of ever changing color according to the light and angle of vision. Seen from any of the corners, the quilt appears almost monochromatic. When seen from a moving perspective (as in walking), the colors ebb and flow across the surface in an ever changing image (the original image was created as an integral design spanning the entire surface of the quilt, then subdivided in to squares while removing the equivalent of the sashing pieces). This piece demonstrates how embroidery can be used to create the whole design of a quilt, with conventional piecing and sashing for assembly.

Margy's Quilt - This was made whilst doing a workshop with Carolyn Price in Australia. The blocks that make up the background are created by stacking 6 to 8 fabrics and freehand cutting a curved line through from just off the diagonal. Then the fabrics are shifted in the stack, sewned back together and the process repeated. Then the squares are cut to same size and pieced on point. Applique with heavy machine embrodiery. Lilly pads created using netting and freehand machining. I made this quilt to present to my younger sister for her 50th birthday.

Chinese Coin - This is a lap quilt I made for the Smith Cotton High School FBLA's door prize stash. It was not yet given away at the last event, being saved for another one.

Jack and Jill for Jack - Had to call Australia to get this great pattern by Cori Blunt to make for my first grandbaby whose named just happened to be Jack.

Storm Over The Mountains - This is a framed picture quilt made as a gift after I went to La Veta for Retreat in 2008. I used one of my photos of the Spanish Peaks for the shaping of the mountains. I do love looking at these mountains. They take my breath away. I used a lot of thread painting and just kept layering until I got the look I wanted.
