This is a portrait quilt of my grandson when he was 18 months old. He was looking out the storm door window in my computer room when I took the picture. After cropping the picture, I tried to replicate the photo except for the view through the window. For that view I tried to create a symbolic view of all the possibilities of the future ahead of him. I was given the courage to try this quilt after taking the online class from Lea McComas on portrait quilts that was available on the TQS website.
This quilt was a Block of the Month by Quilting by the Bay in Panama City, Florida. Once completed, it was quilted by long arm by Pat Hall.
This quilt is constructed with 30's reproduction fabrics. My husband is partial to it because it reminds him of his childhood watching his grandmother making quilts from feedsacks.

I found these little animals beautifuly odd . After researching tamarins, I learned that they live in South America and are becoming rare. This quilt is my atattempt to "capture" one. It was made for donation to Southwest Solutions to be auctioned.
I loved this pattern when I saw it several years ago. Last Christmas my son asked me for "something from me that he could pull out every Christmas" and I knew immediately this pattern was THE ONE! I began in January and enjoyed the entire process, sewing on it mostly at our quilting group's regular Thursday gatherings. He will be given this right after Thanksgiving so he and his wife can enjoy. A lot of fun to make.
Thi is my version of the Quilt Show 2011 Block of the Month, started and piecing finished 2011 but the actual quilting started sometime after that but not finished until September 2018.
This is the T-shirt quilt I made for my daughter. She was a cheerleader and in track. I made this as a graduation gift her senior year.
This quilt won Best of Show at 2018 Capital of Texas Quiltfest. I used Sue Garmen's Halo Medallion Pattern from the BOM 2017. It was quilted by Angela McCorkle. I'm so excited and grateful for the support I received on your website. This is the first BOM I attempted. It was a learning opportunity and a real skill builder. Sue wrote beautiful patterns with great instructions. She will be missed.

Last May when my mother went into Hospice care I felt the need to make something simple and colorful. I found a pack of 5" sqaures in my stash and set to work. I made "X" blocks with the warm colors and "O" blocks with the cool colors. I added some embroidery on the sashings using a sparkle thread. When I showed it to my mom, she loved it. I hung it in her apartment where it stayed until she passed away in July. Whenever I would leave my mom, I always said to her, "Ok, mom, gimme a hug and a kiss."
Absolutely white quilt with applique. It was stitched for the Ukrainian exhibition of textiles "Monochrome".
Great work with hand and machine stitch with white silk, gold and silver threads.
Application of birds - trapunto. Flowers are made in the author's technique. The edge of the quilt is made festoons.
My version of the 2017 BOM Halo Medallion by Sue Garman. I followed her color recipe but changed out the red for turquoise. Entered it in three quilt shows this year and won three ribbons!!

A selfie of my daughter and her friend dressed to participate in a samba parade during their student year in Chile was the inspiration for this fabric collage quilt. It was quite a challenge to recreate their faces and flowers from printed and batik fabrics, but I'm quite pleased with how it came out.

Fun to make. Fun to handle a :Jelly Roll that you love. For me, it is Morris reproductions fabric. I love the technique. Any Jelly Roll would make a beautiful quilt if you like the Jelly Roll. This woud be a fun class to teach to see all the quilts the students make.
