Poodle in France - This was a challange for Loomis Quilt Guild, I had so much fun designing this and putting some of my Grandmother's buttons and baubles on the poodle.
In the Pink with Mother Goose - Assorted pink and white blocks stictched in the ditch then machine quilted with Mother Goose in the center surrounded by girls from story book/nursery rhymes and baby's name.
Pineapple Swirl - I took third place at a local quilt show. This will be my one and only pineapple quilt because of the time it took to piece it together. I love to longarm quilt but rather make quilts that go together fast.
Mardi Gras Quilt - Fabric squares of Mardi Gras masks with plain blocks of various colors. Mardi Gras masks are quilted around with a renaissance pattern quilted in plain blocks. Thread used is gold variegated metallic. Backing is diamond pattern with matching colors of mask blocks. Bobbin thread was purple cotton.
Road2CA New York Beauty - My girlfriend and I went to R2CA and bought the foundations for this and then found great fabric. We went back across the street to our hotel room an proceeded to stay up half the night drinking wine, cutting and piecing these blocks. It was the most fun. I found a great batik in my stash when I got home for the backing. I am still quiltng it but it should be done soon.
Heartsong - Four hearts with large angel's trumpets flowers set between them. Ribbons flow around the hearts and flowers. Begun after I attended Ricky's seminar where he demonstrated how to design Rhapsody quilts.
Lap Quilt - A lap size quilt, machine pieced and quilted on a Viking Designer SE, & I used a Viking's Fabric Mover with stitch regulator to do free motion quilting.
Sun Burst Wallhanging - A Ssall wall hanging with triangles on a block with a small yoyo in the center. I used the Viking Designer SE, stitch E26 ( I increased the width of stitch to max) to quilt it. This is a stippling stitch.
Happy Daz - Quilt was made for my neice's new baby boy, Dylln Michael. The center blocks were embroidered with the frogs from Dakota, then I used the Twist and Turn pattern by Sharyn Craig.
I took a class on tumbling blocks with Jackie Robinson at the Houston Show, decided that it would be great for my granddaughter, Mallori Rose. It is for her babies in her cradle that her Great Grandfather made for her. I also had enough material to make a pillow.
