Esturary - Oregon Coast - I made this quilt for the Fairfield Processing American Spirit Calendar Contest for 2013. It has an embroidered Egret I did on organdy, cut it out and then blended him into the background. Pieced and fused landscape. Clouds and fog made with fuzz from yarn and batting.

Fiesta 2 - I made this quilt after watching L. Lehman show during my Fall Break from school.

spooky night - Quilter's Newsletter had a paper pieced pattern that i adapted by enlarging the pattern making the children different sizes. Added a tree and a moon and atmosphere. Not sure if I want to make it into a quilt or just have a block so it sits looking scary.

Big Thicket - This quilt is one project I made from the Half Square Triangle Exchange from The Quilt Show. I loved the "Tree of Life" block and the pattern in Edyta Sitar's book, "Friendship Triangles," but I wanted the triangle border to go around all the edges of the quilt and adapted the pattern to accomplish that. Named it "Big Thicket" for that area in Texas where so many different trees grow.

Day filled with apliqued peace - I was making a Dresden plate quilt a coworker sujested they would make cool flowers. So I started makeing a landscape quilt with Dresden plate flowers. It was very peaceful makeing this very organic quilt, it grew and formed a landscape as natural as a true landscape. Nothing is perfect but neither is natur but it is ver peaceful.

Andy - This is a portrait quilt of Andy Witkin, late husband of my high school friend.

Helm of Awe - My accountant requested this quilt. She feels that it will give her protection when she sleeps. The center symbol is the Helm of Awe. It has matching pillow shams.

My Fancy Lizards - After a class with Karen at our Thumb Butte Quilters, I manipulated the lizard on my computer and then digitized it for machine applique. The cactus are done with a fancy stitch from the sewing machine. Other embroidery by machine

Van Gogh's Blue Vase w/Flowers - My small art quilt group (The Van Go-Go Girls) had a challenge this year to make a small quilt (maximum size 80-inch perimeter) based on a Van Gogh painting. I did a variation of one of Van Gogh's Vase of Flowers. The background behind the flowers was confetti blue and yellow with a very pale yellow tulle to capture anything that would not stay fused down. The flowers and leaves are all 3-D, using two pieces of fabric fused with heavy duty fusible. The small blue flowers were each beaded in the center and then glued on. The daisy-like flowers have yo-yo centers with beaded stamens. The vase was hand-appliqued and did not lie well after quilting the background and was completely beaded in a free-form design, which only took 10 days to complete. I used Superior Thread's Bottom Line for the beading. The blue and yellow fabrics were all hand-dyed. The background and leaves were commerical fabrics and the tablecloth is Cherrywood.
