MIS-EE-BAH! - A happy party miniature made to celebrate colour by appliquéing paper pieced elements.

A Colorado Sampler - 2013 - Sampler made as a memoir of our stay with friends in Colorado for my niece's wedding. All blocks are related to the trip. Sashing and corners are reminders of forest fires that occurred while we were there.

Domestic Free Motion Sampler - This is a quilt of a free hand drawing I drew to promote a free motion class I teach at my local quilt shop!

Choc a Latte' - Our guild had a star BOM 2012. I wanted to do something different with my block so I adapted the 12" blocks to the Stepping Stones pattern that I had saved from the American Patchwork magazine.

April Showers Bring May Flowers - This was made as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. She chose all the batik fabrics and I surprised her with the final design. I used Edyta's umbrella pattern, but I added sashing and appliqué flowers in the sashing corners.

Gentle Joy - This was made as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. She wanted a purple hippo, but once we started looking at fabric she wanted all of it. Isn't that just like a quilter! The center medallion was inspired by a watercolor drawing by Jo Lynch, whose work is incredibly delightful. This particular drawing was a perfect way to incorporate all the joyful fabrics that Amber chose. I added the appliqué butterflies for the final touch of whimsy.

Yellowstone Revisited - Log cabins around fabric panels purchased during our recent trip to Yellowstone. Because the panels were both horizontal and vertical photos, the quilt had to be designed with that in mind. After putting it on the design wall, I quickly realized that it needed something for accent and to break up the tedium of the log cabin strips. I decided to add an appliqué border from the Backwoods Design Appliqué Book. I was so happy to have finally figured out a design to highlight the fabric panels and finish the quilt. The quilting was done by my friend and fellow TQS member on her new long arm. She incorporated feathers and a beautiful leaf design in the log cabin blocks. She also did a soft wave design over each of the fabric panels which was the perfect quilting accent for them.

Safari Stars - This was my first animal print quilt. I have made a second one, with more still in my mind.

Baby Zoo - This was based on a picture in a German friend's book, 3 of us made the same quilt and Anne has since left Caracas so I don't even know which book.

Aurora - Copied from the magazine, great fun to do - only added large quilting stitches to some blocks.

Together in a Friendship World - This is a quilt made by a group of Romanian quilting friends; even non-quilters stitched on it: all my 3 sisters and even my hubby helped us a lot. It was hand pieced and it is machine quilted. It's a large quilt. about 90" square. We hand pieced the top in about 3 months. The quilting was easier than I anticipated! It was accepted into the Houston judged show Fall 2013. More pictures here: http://cadouri-din-inima.blogspot.ro/2013/04/together-in-friendship-world.html

Sun Bonnet Sue Album Quilt - I inherited some raw edge applique Sun Bonnet sue blocks from my aunt. I had some eleanore burns sun bonnet sue fusible and a lady at our church asked me if I could make a quilt for her adopted daughter with the signed blocks she gave me. That is how it came about.

Pieceful Easy Feeling - The quilt is made entirely of hexagons. I decided to finish it envelope style, feeling that a border would detract from the overall design.

apple blossom double wedding ring - Made this for a wedding shower gift for great niece an future husband

Did you see my new red shoes? - Added some ribbon tags, and gave each owl a different expression, and changed to a simpler block for the quarter square triangles. The back is my son's family in owl form along with the wacky birds that live upstairs. Hopscotch added so that later on the girls can play hopscotch with each other.

Did you see my new red shoes? - this is the backside of the quilt, with my son and family in owl form, the wacky birds that live upstairs, and a hopscotch so the girls might enjoy the game together.
