Just For Fun - This quilt is made with Indian Plaids. The stars were carefully cut so they would form a second pattern.

Devils choice - I just Knew I had to applique this distinctive block, but it took me 4 years to find the right materials. Originally, there were to be nine blocks of the same pattern, and I had appliqued 8 of the nine when this setting sneaked into my head and I had to do it. It was very hard to cut those completed blocks in half, but it was worth it! This picture shows the whole thing before quilting, which I did on my home machine - I digitised a pattern from the elements of the design and quilted with my embroidery machine. I think it is perfect!

Wild Alaska Salmon - My husband, Dave Moore created the salmon design. We love to go king salmon fishing in Sitka, as well as eating them. This pattern is a reflection of this inspiration.

Orca - My husband, Dave Moore created this Orca design. We live on the ocean in Sitka, and Dave is on the Whalefest board. We love to see Orcas in the waters around Sitka.

Lighthouse Waves

Peony - Design based on photographs I took of my mother's tree peonies. I hand-painted the fabric for the backing, flower and leaves. Used machine-stitched raw-edge applique for the petals and leaves.

Frankie's Irises - Commercial fabrics, photographs, threads.

Puzzling Heart - The puzzle that is my daughter's heart, with the pieces not quite fitting perfectly.

Hidden Wisdom

O is for Octopus - This is an Artist Trading Card using scraps of hand-painted fabric. The octopus parts were cut free-hand and sewn down using free motion raw-edge applique and variegated cotton thread. Wool yarn border blanket-stitched by machine. Mounted on cardstock backing.

2nd Granddaughter's Biscuit Quilt - Basic pattern, number of squares etc...but I chose where to sit each patterned block.

First Granddaughter's Biscuit Quilt - 432 squares 3 1/2" each, hand bound, each square sewn, stuffed, sewn closed, sewn together to form top quilt, warm cotton batting between layers, and then hand tied for safety for baby's sake should she want to use it for Kenadie's room. Born 2/9/07 This picture was taken before it was completely finished, then forgot to take another one before I sent it off to arrive before the new baby was born. Will update when I go to VA to visit next month Yippee!!!!

Meowy Christmas - I am not a 'cat person', but the colors and the cats in this quilt charmed me.
