Monster Mash - this is my very first quilt, start to finish

sunrise over the lake - This is a native American fancy dance shawl

Snuggle Up - This is a close-up of the panel.

Framing Flowers - I wanted to make a quilt for my mother's 80th birthday and she loves her garden so a Kaffe Fassett designed fabric was the perfect choice. I love the pattern so did not want to cut it up so decided to use it in a blocked design.

Fozen Yakima Sunset - In December 2013 we had unseasonably cold weather for a long time, to the point where the Yakima river froze over for the first time in some 35 years. This attracted many amateur photographers, including me, and I took this picture at sunset. I particularly like the tree almost falling over into the river. (It is still leaning.) I quilted details like trees and shadows into the hills, the ice and the water. It is actually sitting on the sewing machine, until I decide it doesn't need any thing added to it!

Flying Geese - A pattern by Alex and fabric by Ricky results in a beautiful quilt. The binding is Ricky's piped technique that was demonstrated in a Super Seminar.

unnamed - I draw graph paper designs and this quilt was made to one of my own drawings! This is still a work in progress. One more border and then trapunto and cool free motion quilting and embellishments will be added! This is my first larger quilt with the full design element completed! A major accomplishment! YAY!

Flowering Desert - Compile this quilt, with inspiring me in the flowering desert of Chile, working background with application techniques and quilting, traditional embroidery, and a unique style to decorate with small florets.

Hearts and Stars - Baby quilt made from the pattern that Ann Petersen uses in her Continuous Line Quilting class on Craftsy.

Fiesta - Quilt started in a class taught by Libby Lehman at 2012 Puyallup SewExpo. Finally finished it.

How Does My Garden Grow? - Quilt produced from following Ann Petersen's Beyond Basic Machine Quilting on Craftsy.

Skinny Modern Quilt - Small quilt finished at a class in the Bernina sewing room at 2014 SewExpo

Logan's Quilt

Swimming in the Fish Aquarium - My granddaughter was at most two and 1/2 years old when she went into the hot tub. Her mother asked her to swim with her eyes open and she was able to capture a photo. It was too good not to make use of it. I had various ideas and then I got my embroidery machine and a design emerged. My granddaughter Julia has it hanging in her bedroom.

Once a Beaver, always a Beaver - Once a year we have a golf tournament and auction for my high school. It is sponsored by the Ballard High School Foundation of which I am President. l decided to make a quilt in our school colors and present it for auction. Since Red and Black are my school colors I decided the day and night block was perfect. The school motto is the Beaver, since it was a common creature in the early days of Ballard prior to it's becoming annexed to Seattle. I went into the archives and found copies of drawings of the Beaver as it was during my school days. I scanned the items, and digitized them using my embroidery software. I also wrote out the traditional chant or yell, as we were a very Scandinavian community. It went like this; Lutefisk, Lutefisk, Lefse, Lefse, We all love Ballard, Ja sure, yu betcha !! That became my border. Up until the 70's Ballard was essentially Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and Danish and at the auction many of those alumni attended and recognized their old cheer and beavers. Bidding was heavy and in the end one alumnus had herself a beautiful quilt. I wish I could remember her name.

Rainy Day Fun - Made for a dear friends baby. Finished it today, just in time for his big arrival! Happy birthday Justin! (WHEW! That was close!)
