Wee Willow Summer - This quilt is a wallhanging for my office. I added a border to the original pattern by Jane Sassaman. I measures 22' X 22". I appliqued and quilted it on my Bernina. I love Jane's art work.

Rivers of Belief - wysiwyg... A spiral lone star done in blues and greens for a very special friend. My third quilt ever... I bit off a bit more than I could chew, but I finished it!

Morgan's Quilt - This is one of the baby quilts that I make. I usually use softer colors for newborn babies, but when Morgan's parents were expecting her, they did not know if it was a boy or a girl, so I waited until after she was born to make her quilt. This more of a toddler design. I used embroidery designs from OESD, and the quilting is done by machine.

JaNan - My quilt is from Folk Art Pleasures, by Lori Smith. I changed many of the blocks by adding things of my own.

A Woodland Christmas - "The Gathering" - Another in A Woodland Christmas series of designs.

Thimbleberries Club 2008 - The Quilt Corner in Sparta used this as a block of the month for our Thimbleberries Club. We got kits each month with Thimbleberries fabric. If we got our block finished by the meeting, we earned a coupon for a free fat quarter. I worked on this each month in 2008 and had it quilted in the beginning of 2009. I use it on the couch as a throw and it's great for a little nap.

Silver Fox at Kotel - In honor of Grace's Bat Mitzvah I designed her totem Silver Fox standing at the Kotel/Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.

(Something) In the Sky With Diamonds - Made for my brother who admired my hollow cube sampler. It hasn't been gifted to him yet (Christmas 2010) - considering appliqueing some circles in the blue "sky".

If These Threads Could Talk - I used a random crazy quilt block to contruct a geneology quilt. Grandparents embroidered on top border great-grandparents on eith side border. Five children embroidered on top 5 blocks, their subsequent children and grandchildren emboidered on the blocks below them. I added an embroidered peackock as it represeents resyrection, renewal & imortality.

Yankees in Tara - My sister and I have been searching for ancestors when we stumbled on the Town of Vienna, NY website where there is a story of the town's history. In that story we found many family members listed as soldiers in the Civil War. I took that information and embroidered it into the blocks of this quilt for my sister for Christmas. On the label I embroidered all the women's maiden and married names to the lineage.

Bethlehem Star - The "Bethlehem Star" is a traditional layout variation of the "Lone Star." I think it is a design the Amish would use. I designed this one using EQ7. More pictures can be seen on my blog, http://quiltsbyjoyce.wordpress.com/2010/12/22/marilyns-quilted-completed/ .

Harper's baby quilt - Very Simple quilt. I used pieced Moda fabric for the front panel and cut outs from another fabric by Moda that I fused onto the pieced panel. I added 2 other fabrics for the borders and quilted in straight lines. I had this quilt done in about 3 days.

Black & White & Lime All Over - This quilt is for my niece/goddaughter for Christmas. I took the Mystery Quilt Class at The Badlands Quilt Retreat in October.

Tree Skirt - Many years ago I bought a tree skirt from an on-line auction site. 2 years ago I tracked down the seller and asked her for a copy of her pattern but she said it had been so long she didnt have a pattern so I just made it up from the one I bought. I am not aware of a published pattern.

Ripple - A drop of water, ripples to the edge of the quilt. Not quite round, but what ripple really is.

A Walk in New York - This quilt reminds me of my walks around NYC. The parks and plants, the buildings with glass and brick and the streets and sidwwalks.

Crested Butte - My first attempt at painting the fabric to make it the way I wanted it.
