beyond butterflies - using 2 blocks from carol doak's book on paper peicing i designed this quilt using the fabric motifs for inspiration for the applique

To The Rescue - I made this baby quilt for Jackson whose father is a member of the Cincinnati Fire Department and whose grandmother drives the Rescue Truck for her local fire department. When I saw the pattern on Keepsake Quilting's website I just knew it would be perfect for this little one.

Cathedral Wall - Cathedral Windows blocks set in untraditional setting to simulate cathedral wall with ivy. Used hand dyed, batik and commercial fabrics. Machine quilted on Bernina 153.

Little Log Cabin - I was ask to describe who I am with a quilt. Voila! Traditional and petite.

Promised Poppies - Designed from some photographs of poppies. Our Quilt Guild has a monthly challenge to complete a small quilt/placemat based on different themes - November was Remembrance Day, so I made this poppy. It has applique, thread play, punch embroidery and soon glitter.

Simply Elegant Applique

Soldier's Angels 5 - here's the newest Soldier's Angels quilt. i don't like my stitching but the colors and design are fantastic so i'll send it anyway

Dresdens - Love Dresdens and wanted to make them in 1930's from Keepsake Quilting, love the result.

Love me Teddy - I made this quilt when I was home after a stint in hospital. I decided with the time off that I should start using some of my embarrassing stash... this was the beginning of my addiction. It was such fun.

Butterfly Fun - I used scraps of multi coloured fabrics to produce this most enjoyable and bright quilt. Butterflies are a real favourite of mine in quilts, and I am finding a great selection of different butterfly designs as I go along.

The Wedding Quilt - My daughter selected this as her wedding quilt, from the book "Great American Quilts 1994," made by Nancy Smith, of N.J. I enlarged the border from the original pattern. My daughter was married in 2003, & I was finally able to present this quilt to her this past October, 2010. I would have gotten it done sooner, but there were 5 grandchildren popping up, requiring baby quilts.

Sunbonnet Sues - This was the very first applique quilt I ever made. I have made great progress in my applique abilities. The fabrics used in this quilt had sat in my stash for up to 15 years and it was an absolute pleasure to start using them, and I actually remembered where I purchased each bit of fabric.

Jigsaw Fun - I made this quilt for my grandson when he went into his first bed. He loves wild animals of any kind and when I saw the fabrics I thought this would be a fantastic design for a boy of any age. He absolutely adores it and even thought it is steeming hot at times, still has to wrap himself in it. Gotta love him.

Bear Blocks - I found in my stash a half metre of teddy prints and decided to include them in a quilt with other coloured scrap 9 block squares. Again, I have learnt how to make quicker 9 block squares (strips first then cross cutting) but I have loved every minute of my journey with quilting.

Teddy Love - My love of teddies was my inspiration for this - it was an absolute fun project, and my lesson for this project was getting corners to meet!!

A Flag for Lou - Red, White and Blue, all cotton. My sister called and asked me to make a small quilt for a lady that was dying of cancer. I had scraps of from a previous quilt, and decided to design something for her. A year later Lou pass away, and my sister told me she love the quilt so much that her husband buried her with it. I was so honored. The Pledge of Allegents is embroidery on the quilt.

Cuvee - This quilt is based on the owner's favorite photo of her greyhound Cuvee. I used Stonehenge fabric to create the brindle effect.

Little Pretties - I have had a charm pack of RJR Little Pretties fabric for years and one rainy Seattle day in September I put them together to make this little 24 x 36 quilt using every charm in the pack.
