Blue Rabbit - I created this Little Rabbit for Easter. I love crazy quilting and really enjoyed using scraps of beautiful Japanese papers to create this little fellow/fellowess. I have used gold thread to sew this piece together using a variety of stitches - just as in fabric Crazy Quilts. I also love embellishments so used Swarovski crystals and metal charms to decorate.

Matroyshka Family - I adapted this design from a pattern I created as a greeting card. By enlarging and shrinking the template pattern piece to create three Matroyshka dolls. This time I have used the strip technique of paper quilting. The faces have been coloured in using a combination of fine felt tip pens and coloured pencils. Finished with Swarovski crystals and ribbon bows.

Blue Bird Dress - This little dress was created from old Italian Cavallini calendars (the paper and colours in these papers are sooo very beautiful). It is quite difficult to find papers which have a very rich colour to them - unlike fabrics. I finished the dress with pen drawing, watercolour, stamping, ribbon and Swarovski crystals .

Untitled - This Mystery Quilt pattern was posted on-line by an Australian quilt guild.

Bugs Bunny - Colorful squares with Baby Bugs Bunny.

Colorful rhapsody - This's a 3 month BOM by Ricky. I just joined the "ring" I the middle.

Paper Quilt Alphabet Letter - I love making alphabet letters for friends, family and customers. I try to tap into the personality of the person I am making it for - so each one is completely different. I love how you can change the colour and style of the papers to create a totally different look and add charms and embellishments to reflect a person's interests.

You Go Girls - For our Hilton Head Island Celebration 350-30, the Camera Club and our Palmetto Quilt Guild teamed up to do a photo/quilt side-by-side exhibit. John Parsons' picture of the Marsh Tacky Cup Race on Hilton Head Island shows Molly ridden by Brittany Bowen flying, with all four feet off the ground, across the finish line - winning the 2011 Marsh Tacky Cup. In the photograph the spectators are blurred and it adds to the sense of speed. I printed the spectators onto fabric and used it in the quilt. The horse, rider and people are fused applique, the sky is paper pieced and the sand uses Karen Eckmeier's wave technique. All are densely quilted. I always loved the picture - now I enjoy seeing the quilt as part of our Celebration exhibit - Hilton Head Island; Flora, Fauna, Friends and Fun.

Restoration - Created in response to a Mountain Art Quilters challenge, I attempted to blend the Art Noveau styles of Alphonse Mucha and Maxfield Parrish. It depicts an angel restoring her spirit by absorbing rays from heaven after helping troubled souls on earth. Approximately 180 fabric pieces were used to create the image.

A Taste of Paradise - Hand painted with Setacolor transparent paints.

Willow - Original design inspired by antique tapestries. Hand dyed fabric, silk broadcloth and silk dupioni fabrics were used.

Keeping Secrets - Based on photograph I took of my daughter. Fused appliqué on felt.

Fire & Ice - I made this quilt in an online portrait quilt class. It is fused applique and free motion quilted, except for the wording in the border, which was done on an embroidery machine.

Peter and Alison - I made this for my son's wedding. It is a color block portrait using Maria Elkin's process.
