Floor Tiles - I designed this quilt based on a Smile Box I saw on The Quilt Show. I used pictures of two different floor tiles, and changed the center to make it curved. I used Stonehenge fabrics exclusively.
Circle of Friendship - I based this design on illustrations from the book "Mathematics of the Celtic Knot" which I purchased in Ireland. There are thirteen different pastel colors pieced into an unbroken knot.
Dear Jane - I spent months finding fabrics that closely matched the original Dear Jane quilt, more months piecing it, and then a couple of years hand quilting it.
Reginald Rooster - I originally designed Reginald as a filler for a chicken quilt that needed one more block. I liked him well enough to make him into a wall hanging. His tail feathers are reversible and three dimensional.
Drifting in the Wind - This hanging was designed as a metaphor for aging--dandelion seeds and parachutes drifting away in the wind to land and sprout anew.

Phantasmagoria: a diptych - A diptych created by two friends. The left side was created by Mary Pavlovich and the right side by Sharon Wiley Hightower as an informal challenge. We generally agreed on an outline and theme, and shared fabrics. It was a magical experience when we shared the first time!

Show and Tell - This is a diptych created by two friends. Sharon Wiley Hightower created the left half and Mary Pavlovich created the right half. The design is based on observation and photos of Show and Tell at our quilt guild, our most popular activity.
Scrappy Repro - Love to make, and the look of, pinwheel blocks. When arranging on design wall, decided I wanted a break in the pattern so added the center border.
Im Not From Conway - This was my first applique blocks. I started with Mimi Detrich and needed more blocks for this setting so added some Margarite Daugherty blocks from Little Brown Bird and the center is a Robert Calaham design from McCalls Magazine
Lattice - This quilt was made for my son who is going to purchase a surf shack. His great love is the ocean, diving surfing, swimming. I won the fabric at a Quilt Show. It spoke water, ocean to me lovely blues and greens.
Posies - I saw this and started collecting poka dots. When Monica was about graduate from Highschool, I had her look in my note book of quilts Nana wants to make in her lifetime and she picked this one.
Delectable Mountains - I loved this quilt from when I first saw it and had it in my binder of quilts Nana wants to make. So when graduation drew close for Rebekah she chose this one. And she ended up on the beautiful campus of Covenant College on Lookout Mountain in Georgia.
Princess Feathers - I had a beautiful April Cornel Fabric with fruit on it. We were moving so wanted to make a quilt for my new kitchen. I used some orphen blocks I had, some Red Work from my mothers trunk.
