no 71 - This is Mark McGuyer at work playing baseball. He hit 70 homeruns for the St Louis cardinals and this is nr 71. I designed pieced and quilted the quilt

Work of Heart - Only used the center of the placemat pattern to make 12 of these miniature(12x12) tabletop quilts as decorations for the "Work of Heart" annual Girl Scout Conference in Tokyo.

Reach for the Stars - My daughter helped me pick the theme for this baby quilt made for my neighbor. I quilted a TON of stars using a cookie cutter for a stencil.

Ohayo Stars - First quilt with triangles. Won second place in the beginner category in the Pacific Patchwork Guild's Winter challenge. Christmas colors combined with an Asian theme! Ohayo pronounced the same as Ohio(for the Ohio star block) means good morning in Japanese.

Shades of Tiffany - Shades of Tiffany is a 34" x 34x' shadow faux trapunto wholecloth quilt. The binding is made from the same batik fabric that was used under the cotton sateen top. It shows through very subtly until you hold it up to the light. The background fillers were stitched with either white or pale yellow thread, to replicate the different types of glass used in stained glass windows. Two layers of batting were used to enhance the faux trapunto look: Hobbs 80/20 and Quilter's Dream Deluxe Poly. Color was added with Prismacolor pencils and textile medium.

"Robert" - Fabric portrait of my father in his early 20's.

Autumn's First Year - Fabric photo's combined with traditional nine patch blocks

Caleb - Great Grand Child - This is the first quilt I have done. I bought a kit from my local Bernina dealer/fabric store. I enjoyed it very much. I believe I learned a lot of things that I should not do in making a quilt.

Kaffe's Double Pinwheel - I made this quilt as a shop sample for Gone Quilting using Kaffe Fassett fabrics. This is my 3rd Double Pinwheel quilt. I love this pattern as it is easy to do and gives a great result.

Trinity - I was commissioned to make a quilt for my children's school biennial auction. The requirements were that it be in the school colors and have the school initials on it - Trinity Preparatory School. I used Electric Quit 5 to design the quilt.

Betsy - I created a patchwork fabric out of which I cut out my pattern. She is adapted to make her look more like me. Sexy as can be.

Cherrywood Trip Around the World - I saw this quilt in a magazine with the Cherry Wood fabrics (hand dyed to look like suede), and I thought it would make a perfect gift for my husband's office. However, right now it hangs at Gone Quilting as a shop sample for the kits that they sell.

Little Butterfly Cuties - I made this little quilt with the anime style Cuties for my daughter, Eva. The fabric is by Alexander Henry.

Bamboo Garden - This lap quilt (only the top is shown in my photo) began with a kit by Benartex called Little Bolshoi which featured some truly beautiful bamboo print fabrics. I expanded the original design (which was only the central square) with top and bottom borders composed 'jazz' style. I neglected to take a photo before I gave this quilt as a gift to my daughter's Significant Other. The quilting designs feature bamboo, dragonflies, and Tao symbols.

Day of Independence - I made this for a dear friend to celebrate her 90th birthday. She is extremely active in The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), among other patriotic organizations. When I saw Terry CLothier Thompson on Simply Quilts discussing quilts from DAR and the Daughters of Liberty, I knew the quilt that Ms. Thompson was making during the show would be the perfect gift for Beverly. Needless to say, she loves and cherishes the quilt.

Roses in my Garden - I designed and made this quilt with ribbon and floss embroidery as a donation to a fund raiser for the benefit of "Baby Noor" from Irag who was in the news last year. I'm told that a doctor from a local hospital bid courageously up to $250.00 for this quilt that took my heart. I was ALMOST sorry to see it go, but was happy that it contributed so much to the effort for this beautiful and brave little girl.

Happy Anniversary - This was my first real quilt I ever made. I made this quilt as a gift for my best friend's wedding anniversary. I made this quilt shortly after Christmas; my husband bought me a new sewing machine. I bought the book Egg Money Quilts and fell in love with the double wedding ring pattern. It was quite a journey to put it all together. I even attempted to use my embroidery attachment on my sewing machine to embroidery my friends name and date of their wedding. It took me about four months to make and it measures 46x46 inches. I did the quilting myself, even attempting free motion patterns in the corners of the quilt.
