Uptown - Usually I have more ideas than I can put into action. I try to do things ‘I like” to do. I enjoy the challenge of working with color, lots of color. A trip to a local museum inspired this color scheme of brown, blue and gold. I like anything I can do by machine.

Fairyland - It’s a delight to handle fabric, to fold and rearrange it, to absorb color and effect by feeling and working with it. The pattern, color and feel of the fabric, the line and structure of the piecing, all interest me. Texture through the heavy use of the quilted line attracts me. Catching light and glimmers of it’s reflection, the interplay between lines and shapes, and sometimes...the element of surprise, is fascinating

Taet Sweet - Place ever gaudy brightly colored fabric I own in the same piece stir together, to see the results. What fun playing with color.

Fear No Color - Start with stimulating, exciting and agitating red. Add bright, cheerful and buoyant yellow. Then mix with placid and passive blue. The outcome of this color experiment is Fear No Color.

Lauren's Quilt - This quilt and a matching one were made for my 5 & 6 year old granddaughters. Each of the blocks have machine embroidered items such as a snowflake, a butterfly or a ladybug that mean something to them. The quilting design is Calligraphic Butterflies by Ellen Munnich of quiltrecipes.com

Yellow quilt - After making many quilts for family and friends, I finally have a quilt on MY bed!

White Oaks NM - I made this quilt from a photo taken near White Oaks NM

My Kingdom for a Toad - Made for my husband's cubicle at work.

Rose Garden? - I haven't quilted this one yet but hopefully will get to it this year. It's much easier since I got the Fabric Mover! :)

Magna Chroma - Another wall quilt for my husband's cubicle.

Pineapple Rhapsody - This is the 3rd Pineapple Quilt that I have made!! What fun! I used Russian Rhapsody fabric and made it as a shop sample for Gone Quilting. I also taught this as a class. It now hangs there as they have kitted it to be sold for others to make. I just love all the bright colors!!

Black, White, and Fuschia All Over - I had this book Super Simple Squares by Lynda Milligan and Nancy Smith and then saw this quilt made up in a shop while I was vacationing. I had so many black and white fabrics and absolutely LOVE fuschia, I had to make this quilt! The actual pattern in the book is called Blue Skies.

For Dan and Liz - I put a border of white fabric with blue printed lighthouses that was too stark. I then painted the border with blue and yellow on that faded to green in the middle..Scary but it worked out really well.

Horse 'n Around - I found the horse pattern in the Quick Quilt Magazine and added borders to make a lap-size quilt.

Anniversary Quilt - Pattern from The Quilter Magazine - September 2005 Issue. I made this lap-size quilt for our friends who had been married for 25 years.

Stacey's Quilt - Pattern from the Quilter Magazine - September 2003 Issue. While I was taking my very first (weekly) quilt class, I found this pattern and fell in love with it and decided to try my hand at this pattern at the same time. It worked out beautifully so I gave it to my step-daughter for her birthday. Making it was a lot of fun, but seeing the expression on her face when she opened it was priceless!

Fish Quilt - Pattern from The Quilter's Magazine - July 2005 Issue. My husband had been so patient with my new quilting hobby that I decided I should make a quilt for him too and since he loves to fish, I thought this lap-size fish pattern would be perfect! He loved it!
