Veronica - Took a class by Karen Eckmeier on layered curves. Quilt named after Veronica Lake (movie star from long ago) who wore her hair draped over one eye.

Star of David - Made for my friend and teacher, Rose Pere, a Maori Tahuna, who lives in New Zealand.

Energy in Motion - It took me quite a while because I satin stitched around everything, but I'm so proud of it now that it's done.

Roxie's quilt - My mother, Roxie, passed away this year at 88 years of age. Over the years she embroidered many pillowcases that she bought at the Five and Dime where she worked. I used the parts she worked on and strip pieced the connecting blocks. This is a way to showcase her work.

Fall Miter Motion - Fall tones using same pattern as Miter Motion.

Evening Glow - My family, including Mother, sisters, nieces and sister-in-law had a fabric buying experience like no other! Sadly a quilt shop was closing in Northern Minnesota, but on a very happy note we bought fabric, especially batiks, like there was no tomorrow! Oh how I wish I had paid closer attention to the reproduction pieces! This quilt was made at a family quilt retreat. We all used the same pattern and different fabrics. The stars are paper pieced. I hung the quilt on a line for viewing and you can see shadowing from a tree branch.

Miter Motion - This fun quilt was put together over a long weekend in Northern Minnesota.

Cathy's Quilt - This was made for my niece. She gave me lots of guidance! She said "I like olive green".

Charlene's Quilt - A friend and I both made quilts for a shelter for abused women. This was a joy to make and was good therapy for me as I was going through depression at the time.

Patriotic Wallhanging - Made with fabrics from my stash. Made up the pattern to use the number of blocks I had.

Proud to be an American - This was made mostly with fabrics from my stash. I machine pieced and hand-quilted it.

My Great Grandmother's Gift - After my grandmother died young, her mother, my great grandmother, purchased this quilt to give to the next woman her son in law married--the one who would raise her three young grandsons (including my dad who was only about two years old) and it was used on their bed for a few years before being put away. I recently helped my grandmother move and we came across it and she told me the story and gave it to me. It is handsewn, handquilted and in great condition. It is one of the best gifts I have ever recieved.

#41 Hannah's "Outside the Box" Quilt - I made this quilt for my 17 year old daughter in colors she wanted because they matched her room.

39 Angela and Kathy's Weaver Fever

Paradise Memories - This was my first attempt at needle-turn applique and with Pat Sloan's inspiration.....beading and embellishing!!! I love the end result!

Do you see what I see? - I made this quilt for my 2 year old son with mostly fabrics from my stash! The neat thing is that some of the kids' print scraps are from clothing that I made for my other children some 20 years ago. It won me a blue ribbon at the County Fair!

Christopher Lone Star - Christopher is my youngest child and the last to leave the nest. With him went this Lone Star quilt that I made for him several years ago. It was done in a quilt class at the quilt shop where I worked. It has over 88 different fabrics in it and were all purchased in 1/16 yd encrements. At the time, I had no quilt stash and this was a nice start. Christopher is a stellar musician and an excellent performer so I thought the Lone Star with the piano key border suited him well.
