Avery's Butterfly Garden - I used Nancy Halvoren's butterfly pattern in her book Curiosities & Mischief to make the quilt. I added the flower garden border. My granddaughter likes the minky backing probably better than the quilt.

Legend of Zelda's Cat - Hour glass blocks + original blocks & applique to make quilt based on my 2nd son's favorite video game. The back is an improvisatinal pieced large cat, per his request. 

Chosen - I have had a lifelong love of horses, and the Arabian breed I find to be the most compelling of all in their beauty and heart. A Bedouin myth states that this horse was created out of a sandstorm as a gift from Allah to those nomadic people. Over 175 pieces of fused, raw edge appliqué, fabric inks, paints, colored pencils, and 50+ hours of hand beadwork, crystals and shisha mirrors helped bring this event to life.

Zach's Mario Level - Quilt for my 3rd son, designed to his wishes, based on popular video game character.

Chrissy's Ride - One of my daughter's passions is participating in Bike Rides. This quilt was inspired by that passion. It was given to her as a housewarming gift. This was a fun quilt to make as I had never done a quilt in free motion and this is my first attempt at trying the Trapunto technique. She was blown away when I gave it to her!
