Master Gardner 2007 - I am a Master Gardener. I won this as a prize at our Spring Garden Fair. It ie the most beautiful garden I have ever had. Purple little flowers and Giant Sun Flowers. Best of all it is it uses very little water!!!! Thank you Master Gardener Class of 2007

Untitled - I made this for my daughter, Michelle. This was my first attempt at machine applique.

Autumn Wedding - The border stars were from a "Sharyn Craig Challenge" in which 14 of us made the same block using a provided fabric and any other fabrics of choice. When I saw that the theme fabric was in autumn colors, I decided the finished quilt would be for my oldest son and daughter-in-law. They had to wait for the deadline for the finished blocks. Then I pieced the quilt using parts of the Amish Spinning Star pattern and a fabric with deer and autumn leaves. This is a large king-sized quilt.

Quilts for Kids Challenge Quilt - Every year the Capital Quilters Guild has a challenge to make a quilt for our Quilts for Kids service project. This was my entry in 2006, which won Viewers Choice. The challenge fabric was pink with bunnies. I added lots of other bright prints to make the sashing and borders. The pink areas are actually shadow trapunto, a bright fuschia felt layered beneath a white batiste top. The white areas were trapuntoed and cut away from white poly batting. It is closely quilted with floral motifs.

Butterflys - I started with the center block. My husband made me a stained glass window with the butterfly pattern. So I decided to make a quilt to go with it. Then I made the butterflys around the edges from the book stack-n-whackier quilts. I used my hand died fabric for the center butterfly and the backing.

Featherd Star - This was a commitioned quilted in my shop I made for a lady it went to her daughter for a anniversary gift She looked through magazins found the feather start. I add my own boarders, she told me the colors she wanted I picked the fabric.

Piecemakers raffle quilt - Piecemakers Quilt Guild had an applique clase 12 ladies made blocks set the blocks in the BQ patten than made a applique board It was raffled off in 2006 money went to more classes for the guild members to further our education.

Little Boy Cars & Bears - Someone told a new mother that I made quilts and so then she ask me to make her one for her new baby. I could'nt resist.

My Future's So Bright - This was a mystery quilt from New Year's Day a few years back--posted on the Planet Patchwork website. Sorry I lost track of the original name of the pattern/mystery. I used the brightest fabric in my stash at the time.

Moonlit Garden - My first quilt! Considering that I had no idea what I was doing (and still don't), I think it turned out well.

Prairie Bedroom - This quilt is a variation on attic windows, using ultra suede in earth tones.

Terry's Panel - 36 X 72 quilt made to be inserted into the AIDS quilt. All cotton fabric, machine pieces, embroidered, and quilted.

Welcome Caden! - I created this original design using fabric book pages as blocks and coordinating fabric for sashing. The striped border was made of the border and sashing fabric. I credit a store clerk for giving me the idea to use "ready-made" blocks. This quilt was made to be presented as a special gift from my cousins (aka memaw and papaw) to their first great-grandson, aka The Commander.
