tomb of the unknown quilter - When I saw an exibit of Egyptian artifacts I though an outercoffin looked just like a quilt. I took that idea and designed the tomb of the unknown quilter.
The Wedding Quilt - This quilt was made to hang as a backdrop at the outdoor wedding of our daughter Mary Jo and to be their wedding quilt. Her colors were purple, green and ivory so the center topiary was created to depict the nature theme using purple flowers. In the first border, I created a frame from three inch squares that are pintucked various neutral nature themed fabrics. The second border includes more of the purple flowers and leaves and white pear blossoms made from leftover fabric from my wedding gown.
Patti's Log Cabin Garden - I designed this quilt for my sister, Pat. We picked out two multi-print red, white and blue fabrics several years ago (1996, I believe). I designed the quilt in 2010, and finished it in 2012. It was exhibited at the 2012 Wisconsin Quilt Expo, September 6-8, 2012.
Guiding Light - This was made for the NQA Little Quilt Auction. quilt labels reads "NQA continues to be a guiding light to quilters everywhere" It is embellished with the NQA bee from my 2011 ribbon.
Star of Valor - Quilt made for Sgt. Joe Grabianowski, and honorable and brave soldier who lost both legs while evacuating another injured soldier. I learned of Joe thru a group of TQS members when we made blocks for a quilt for the soldier Joe saved, an in-law of one of the ladies. It is my hope that someone of his character and valor will be near my own children should they ever be in a critical situation.
