Lots of Princess Love - This quilt is a gift for my 4 yr-old niece. This is my 3rd quilting project and my first foray into free motion quilting. I used minkee for the backing.

Rachael's Wedding Quilt - This quilt was made for my daughter for her wedding in 2009. She picked out the colors, and pattern

Dad's Quilt - Quilted for my dad, who was recovering from back surgery.

Jacob's quilt - This quilt was made for my grandson, Jacob

Chestnut and Vine - This was my first attempt at appliqué, and it turned out nice.

Civil War Tribute Quilt - Quilt was made for my husband for his birthday

Mom's Quilt - My mom wanted a quilt, and picked this one out. It turned out great.

Colorful Wheel of Mystery - This was a kit by Kate Flynn Nichols with very accurate precut pieces, which made it a snap to sew, but I think I really like working in a smaller format. I loved the colors.

Christmas QUilt - I removed the quilting design from the Bernina rag quilt on their site and replaced it with y original Christmas appliques.

Santa's Advent

Tropical Hex with Butterflies - Hex based Stack-N-Whack with setting triangles. Material bought years earlier, several units pieced, set in UFO box unfinished. Inspiration (desperation) hit and I began piecing once again. Then I ran out of material for the setting triangles. Thank the stars I had a bit of the selvage with the maker information. Found the material on e-bay! Set in small 'crumb catchers' between the quilt body and the border. Began quilting it on a home machine and was having difficulties. Backing is flannel. Friend came to stay with me and attend the Houston Quilt Show. She loved it, and I promised to finish it for her. Well, bought the Sweet-16 free motion machine at the show, and finished the quilt on it in no time flat.

Flying High - After reading Kitty Pippen's book, I wanted to make a wall hanging using Japanese Frabrics. This took Best of Show at the Manteca Quilt Show 2011.

Shay New Beginnings

Don't ruffle my feathers - This quilt is for my great niece. The worm in the tree is made from one of my deceaased fathers shirts. It was just to keep the mood light while including something something of his into this qult. I knew Hadley's father would like that.

Gentle Breeze - I have been making quite a few flower pounding wall hangings the past several years. This is one of my latest ones. Any of the colors you see within the border are the actual dyes from the actual flowers/ leaves. I do a flower pounding technique, then a thread painting to further enhance the quilt. Check out my website www.mountainviewsdesigns.com.  

Oriental - All the colors within the border come from the pigment of the actual leaves; then I do a thread painting technique to further enhance the design.

Deer Tracks - This is my design depicting the many deer that we have living with us in the western North Carolina mountains. The deer are appliqued and the "snow" is white felt so it gives it a more dimensional feel. I had a lot of fun making this quilt! You can't tell that I like blue can you?

Corn Country - This was a challenge quilt and was my first time printing photos on fabric for a quilt. The photos are of Ohio farm country, surrounded by raw edge appliqued blocks representing the fields/ furrows and then I made 3 dimensional corn on right hand side.
