Silhouette - The background is a 1600 quilt (40 strips, 40" long), made of batiks. The trees were hand drawn and then fused to the top. The quilt is free-motion quilted, including the trees that extend into the border. I wrote a Haiku for the label: Bare black silhouettes... of swaying stems in the wind... Stretching to the sky.

Feathered Fronds - This piece started out as a practice piece for stitching feathers. After years of trying to learn how to draw feathers, let alone stitch them, it finally fell into place. I had purchased Ricky Tims "Grand Finale" DVD and by watching and learning from many other great quilters, I finally learned how to do feathers, and now can stitch them without having to draw them out! Great FUN! I was also learning how to play with fabric paints, dyes and pencils. This piece was colored in after it was stitched using Inktense pencils and Dye-na-Flow and Lumiere paints.

The Wedding Gift Quilt - This quilt, though pictured unfinished, was drawn out free-hand on a piece of Moda Muslin. It was heavily quilted, and the backing was also the binding when squared up and finished! I added a rod pocket and it's now a wall hanging.

Little Peter - This is my friends grandson made as a gift.

tangrams for my grandchildren - Each tangram design is a different figure. The figures were then stuffed to look like little dolls.

Kate's Garden - The trellis has 3-D climbing vines, leaves and flowers to represent sweet peas. The rabbit comes from a pattern originally printed in Quiltmaker magazine.

Hummingbird Jungle - A beaded Anna's hummingbird is attracted to yellow flowers with beaded centers on a vine with 3-D leaves.

Minnesota Memories - A small nine-patch floats on the water while fish investigate. Sunset-colored storm clouds rise on the horizon.

Sister of My Heart - I watched a video tutorial for a Quilt called Serendipity that when you are done cutting the blocks you can have two separate quilts. I instead used both sets of blocks in one quilt with additional borders and blocks made of left over material. This is the first quilt I've ever made.
