Twisted Windows - I started with the attic window traditional block and then gave it a twist! This is an all christmas fabric twisted the lights from the darks.
On Your Wedding Day - This was a wedding gift for a friend the hearts are machine applique with machine embroidery in the middle of each of cats and Lily of the Valley. It is a queen size.
Watercolor Heart - This quilt was actually pieced about 10 years ago when watercolor quilts were all the rage, but I was perplexed on how to quilt it. Recently sent it to a long arm quilter who was given free range to do whatever she wanted. I was completely impressed with the results.
Romancing the Rose - This is my first quilt made maching piecing and completely hand quilted. I fussy cut the inspiration fabric to showcase the roses in the center of some of the blocks.
Colors of Oregon - Patterns depict coastline, coastal range, Willamette Valley, Cascades, eastern slopes, high desert, John Day Fossil Beds, Blue Canyon & Rattlesnake Schist. Pen included for dimension.
Good Nite, Sleep Tight - This is a baby quilt constructed for a church raffle for Kick-Off Sunday @ St. Paul's UCC 2000. My sister-in-law won the quilt so it is still in the family and all 8 of her grandchildren and some of my own have used it. It's a "good enough" quilt. Find the major "opps!" Also notice that I ran out of some of the fabric and used a close match and drew attention to that with a hand embroidered message "Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."
Stars and Beyond Challenge - My guild's quilt show, Stars And Beyond, held a challenge. The quilt had to be less than 100" in circumference and have a visable star. I won the challenge! It has beads, prairie points, piping, and tassles.
Leaping Tarpon - My original design, hand cut individual scales and fins on a mosaic background of 1" squares. Batik and printed fabrics were fused then longarm quilted in an original design of water and bubbles. This quilt is for sale.
Wearable Art Jacket - This jacket is quilted by machine with a double needle and Sulky Blendables thread. It has a matching purse with an insert of computerized embroidery on the flap.
Anna's Quilt - Anna is my oldest grandchild. The quilt was used as a wall hanging in her room for a number of years. Now she folds it at the foot of her bed.
Batik Bubbles - Timeless Treasures batiks and the 7" Crazy Curves Templates from Elisa's Backporch made this quilt a much more contempory quilt. It did take me longer than usual to finish-just over a year from first cut to final machine quilting! The pantograph of rotorua was used.
