The Purple Teapot - I made this little art quilt as a result of an online class with Dena Crain at Quilt University. It is based on a photograph I took.
Jodi's 40th Quilt - Alternating blocks of nine-patch and hand appliqued, needle turned, butterflies, using reproduction and antique 1930's and 1940's prints and hand dyed fabrics.
The borders are scalloped and the quilting was quilted on a Nolting, with the butterfly motifs derived from tracing the applique pattern. It took 1 year to complete.
Hawaiian Memories - Hawaiian fabrics purchased in Kona and donated by cousin Pat. The backing was purchased by my mother on my parents' 25th anniversary trip (1977) to Hawaii!
You're a Star! - I started this quilt in a class offered by a local quilt shop; no pattern provided. I made this for my son, who requested red and blue.
Surf's Up - My son asked for a tropical themed quilt and I purchased a set of fat quarters to start this project. I used a commercial sheet for the backing that coordinates with the border fabric.
Peacock Star - This is my first totally hand pieced and hand quilted quilt. It is based on the pattern "Brilliant Cut" by Candy Goff which I found last year on the AQS web site. The inspiration was a dark blue, gold and turquoise peacock feather fabric that I had in my stash.
Mason's Army - Made from fabrics selected mostly by my then 8 year old son. It was difficult to find military themed fabric at the time! This was the first large quilt I pieced and quilted.
Any day fishing.... - Purchased pattern and border fabric in Calgary Canada. Wall hanging was gift to my ardent fly fishing husband. Ends of hanging rod are fish handmade in 20 different woods; commissioned and made by a friend.
Papilion - This piece is based on an original photo, and will be included in my new book (to be released July 2011 by C&T Publishing) called Point, Click, Quilt! Turn Your Photos into Fabulous Fabric Art
