Shangri-La - Made for 2010 Hoffman challenge contest. Every year I say I am going to make a quilt for this contest and I buy the fabric but this is the first time I have completed an entry!! Also this is the first quilt contest that I have entered!!
Hollyhocks & Hummers - This wallhanging was originally supposed to be 26" x 41". Well, I had to reduce it, and my finished piece measures 14" x 20". I did not adjust any of the aspects of the design, just made them smaller.
Night Life - My first Bargello. I created this quilt by cutting strips and sewing them together without a guide. Then as the design started to take shape I duplicated it to create this quilt.
Bed Time Baby - I used fabric that I designed for Timeless Treasures to create this baby quilt. I love how soft the colors look together with just a splash of blues and muted teal.
Faith Creates Miracles - Several years ago I had seen several Disappearing Nine Patch quilt at a local quilt show. Each DNP in the show looked different. I followed Quilts&ATC's Tutorial and was very happy with the results. Quilt donated to a Benefit - Silent Auction.
1,000 Pound Therapists - This is the first time I've tried fusible applique and I really enjoyed it. I donated it to an auction that benefits Giant Steps Therapeutic Equestrian Center www.giantstepsriding.org
Bumpalina buggy quilt - Watched the segment of Alex producing the 6 minute circle and as I was just about to make a buggy quilt for my first grandchild (due in two weeks time) I made this. It was very easy to do and intend making a Japanese themed one next.
Autumn at Bears Paw - This was made for my Guild's 2010 Challenge ("Animal Magnetism"). I used Eleanor Burns' pattern "Christmas at Bears Paw", then use inward pointing prairie points (1st time ever) and cut the corners at an angle to add interest.
Four Seasons - This was a "Saturday Sampler" from Great American Quilt Factory in Denver, CO. It took me a couple of years to finish it, but I finally made it! All four corners are appliqued; the rest of the quilt is pieced.
Thank You - My brother served in the Navy, then in the Army (as a combat medic in Vietnam). I made this quilt for him to thank him for his service and everything he went through during that service and all the years since then.
