Black and Blue All Over - I made this quilt and then donated it to my son's Marching Band Booster Club for them to raffle off as a fund raiser.

Double Nine Patch - Made as a practice piece to try my long arm quilting skills on my new long arm machine.

Mom's Quilt - This quilt was to be my very own personal quilt to cuddle under, but it turned out so beautifully that I just could not bring myself to do so. Therefore, I donated it to the Bob Bullock Texas State Museum and the Texas State Historical Commission in 2006, so that others could enjoy looking at it as much as I do.

Strung Out

Green Tea Time - After quilting for 8 years, I finally made one for myself. I used Bali Pops "Green Tea" color palette. I love my quilt. (As do my Westie and Springer Spaniel!)

Carleen's Gem - I always wanted to do a kalidescope quilt, but thought it would be too complicated. Went to Asheville quilt seminar and "Viola!". Thanks Ricky!

It's after midnight! - Last summer our art guild had a fabric challenge. This is the fabric I was given and what i created.

Musical improv with an African beat - This is a South Africa improv quilt. The rules and freedoms to create this quilt are similar to the rules and freedoms of improvising with music. I use this quilt to visually demonstrate to my piano students what improv is all about.

Bella Fluer - My art guild's challenge this summer was to create from a black and white photo of a flower. This is what I created.

2009 The Quilt Show Sue Garman BOM - Finished in the beginning of 2010. Quilted with hearts, butterflies and feathers. Learned so much from making this quilt. Thank you Sue and TQS.

English Checkerboard - Always loved the Irish Chain pattern. Sharon Yenter takes it up a notch in the book Floral Bouquet Quilts from In the Beginning. Very easy to make. Made in 2010

the flow of life - I received my go cutter a couple of weeks ago and had to make something and the flow of things is what I ended up with.

Kidd's Kaleidoscope - Wow what fun! Thsi quilt was a joy to make for my brother for his birthday! Machine pieced and free motion quilted on Babylock quilters choice home machine. Approx. 70" square and for fun I used some YLI blacklight thread in neon green! He loved it!!

Ariel Quilt for Sara - Sara loves Ariel, so I decided to make a quick throw-size quilt for her birthday. I got the pattern from Quilts for Kids (thanks!), and the beautiful fabrics are from equilter (thanks!).

Dream flowers - I tried needle turn applique for the first time and it was a trial piece. I was pleased with how it turned out. Went ahead and machine quilted for the first time the centre( in the ditch also) and did my best. After seeing Sharon Pedersons technique of adding on borders to an already quilted piece i did just that. I also added piping to it. I hand quilted the border. Now it is a completed wall hanging.
