WonkyWorks48 - I started this wallhanging a few years ago, put it away, got it out a year later, cut it up, put it away, got it out last April, cut it up some more and finally decided to sew it together. I admit that it's a little weird, but intrigueing nevertheless.
Lap Quilt - This is just simple squares with fabric we loved. My granddaughter Hannah arranged the fabrics, another granddaughter Madelyn picked the monogram design, and my daughter Holly kept the quilting squares in order and properly ironed. We made it a group project for a friend who is undergoing chemo
Bridget's tee shirt quilt - Bridget's High School graduation quilt was a surprise made from 30 of her favorite tee shirts. It will be going off to college with her this fall.
Sun Compass - Bright batik compass on black background with colorful flying geese border. I drafted my own pattern after studying the technique in Mariner's Compass Quilts by Judy Mathieson.
Rainbow Dahlia - Rainbow colors were used for the dahlia flower; Moda Marble black, for the background. The rainbow colors were carried through to the inner border.
Langley Sunrise - The colors of sunrise with a sun and sun rays quilted into the center of the quilt. So named because this was my main quilting project at a quilt retreat in Langley. Use Triangles on a Roll to do all the half square triangles. Made it so easy to piece together.
Changing Seasons - This was my first friendship quilt. Members in my quilt guild made most of the leaf blocks but when I needed more, my husband pieced some for me, too. I designed the layout.
Bouillabaisse - Great way to use more than 100 fabrics from my stash. Most were leftovers from other quilts. I loved the challenge of grouping the fabrics and arranging the small blocks into the larger blocks.
Shattered Circles - Another scrap quilt using blues, yellows and whites. The curved seams slowed down the piecing process (I did a lot of pinning) but it was worth the extra time and energy. A gift for my sister and brother-in-law.
Key Lime Pie - Since my favorite colors are green and purple, this was the logical choice for a class taught by Sandy Bonsib. Yes, another scrappy quilt - 16 greens and 16 purples - and lots of leftovers.
Stars and rockets - This quilt was made as part of a challenge with my local quilt group. We had to make it with only 5 fabrics and using squares and half-sq triangles. I quilted it with an allover starts design, with flames coming from those blocks that looked a little like rockets!
Endless Maze - My husband saw a picture of a quilt in a book and wanted to make it (yes, he is a quilter). He really likes geometric designs. So we designed our own version and made it together. There are 40 fabrics in the quilt. Our marriage survived but it was a bit tenuous at times.
Enchanted Stars - I was "enchanted" by this pattern when I saw it in the 2005 Quilt Sampler magazine (the featured quilt for The Enchanted Room, Glendive, Montana). It took several years before I got around to making it.
Super Moon - Roger photographed the Super Moon in May. I printed it on fabric, embellished and framed it for him as a birthday gift in June. I only used one thread twice and used about 20 altogether. All decorative stitches are different. The moon is done in trapunto with chiffon over it and outlined in silver thread. I have over 40 hours in this project and am super happy with it. So is Roger.
Christies' Wedding Quilt - I based the pattern for this quilt on one showcased on Alex Andersons' Simply
Quilts show. When my daughter married I made this quilt for her wedding present.
I used colour wash fabrics on a white muslin background and had it professionally quilted.
