My EZ Puff Quilt - I was working on a new way to make raised designs in quilts. This quilt resulted from my first attempt to put my ideas to use and actually make a quilt. It is quite heavy and sure would be the only blanket you needed even in the cold north.

Sam and Rosie Gulati - I made this quilt from two photographs of my dogs. I started it in a workshop with Ruth McDowell and pieced all of it, including the eyes.

More Than the Sum of Our Genes - Made in celebration of the completion of the Human Genome Project, the complete mapping of human DNA. While celebrating the accomplishment, this piece addresses the idea of what makes us human. Background quilting depicts DNA.

Bridges 4-Simple Arch Distorted - Based on a simple single arch bridge. Here the shape is repeated and distorted. Each element is quilted in a unique style. This quilt has been accepted for the Tactile Architecture 2007 exhibit at the International Quilt Festival and will then travel for a year.

Seasons of Splendor

Julia Krichkowski: An Immigrant's Journey - The top panel depicts the first time she wrote her name, along with the symbol of her native land the Ukraine. The icons depict her children and grandchildren. This quilt is part of the She Made Her Mark Exhibition at the Quilter's Hall of Fame in Marion IN. It was made especially for this exhibit.

Primarily Prints - I made this quilt to be auctioned off as a fundraiser for my daughter's nursery school. My mother-in-law was conscripted early on to help wash hands. It has the handprint of each child attending CECDS during the 2006/2007 school year. The sashing and setting triangles are all 30's repro prints in primary colours.

The Children of Ireland - I belong to an online group which meets every 18 months. Our first "Meet" was in Kilkenny Ireland and folks from all over the world sent fabric to me for this quilt. At the "Meet" we raffled off the quilt and raised 1400 dollars which was donated to Project Children in Ireland.

Whoosh! - a celebration of my love of Autumn! All the brightly colored leaves painting the ground after their big show on the branches.

Coneflower Canopy - I am sure that ants enjoy the Coneflower Canopy on hot summer days.

Roses - I loved the interplay of color placement in these blocks from the moment I saw this quilt featured on the cover of The Quilter magazine. I made it exactly as it was pictured, and gave it as a Christmas gift to my sister-in-law. My machine quilter outdid herself with an exquisite design which perfectly complements the piecing.

The Dancing Olives - Olives and Martini glasses partying it up! This quilt was literally sketched out on a paper napkin while listening to a cool jazz ensemble.

Jeepin with Jim & Joan's Daughter - A celebration of the Jeep that my dear husband gave me for my 40th birthday...no I am not troubled by reaching this milestone as I live with the motto that "age is a state of mind...not a number".

Wicked Autumn Grace - Autumn is quite the muse for me...I love the brisk air and the shortened days (I'm nocturnal by nature)....so I always make a quilt each October to celebrate the season. A very good friend of our family is originally from Vermont...so he has brightened our vocabulary with the word "wicked"...which just seemed to suit this quilt.

African Rhythms - I wanted to showcase embroideries from Amazing Designs, along with this lovely fabric line. I collaged the pieces, building the quilt from the center outward.

Stars of Texas but One - A Texas-themed quilt that does not have Texas items in boxes but in a scattered manner with some directional elements to direct the eye...basically sepia tones.
