Millenium Star - Started in 2002, this is my first pieced quilt. I cut the pieces with a scissor and pieced according to directions on the pattern. Since then, I have learned more about piecing!

Rockypoint Light - My first attempt at a watercolor quilt. It was fun and much easier than I thought it would be!

Holly and Miranda - Use the Ohio Snowflake and added embroidery squares and borders. On the back used a butterfly pattern square alternating with embrodery sqaures. The back were embroidered butterflies, dogs and family. In the middle of the back was a poem her sister wrote to her that I embroidered. The border on the back I embroidered her name and holly (the dog) using a dog alpha. real cool. I also embrodiered her dog holly from a picture I took. On the front every third block was a picture of holly and in the middle was a large picture of Miranda and holly. It came out perfect!!!

Kendra's friend - Used a star pattern from the Ouilt Loft for the main body of the quilt Embrodiered a poem written by Kendra for her friend in the middle of the quilt then around the border I embrodiered their favorite song, the back was a whole cloth and the label was embrodiery written by Kendra

Ripple in River - A favorite block of mine....I've made a number of quilts in this style. This one I made as my family remodeled our kitchen/LR/DR. I wanted something to make a bold statement!

Karissa's Quilt - A high school graduation gift for my niece, Karissa in Colorado!

Wedding Chuppa - My "stash" of Oriental fabrics. This was the "Chuppa" used for Laura's and Jay's wedding. A Chuppa is the covering that a Jewish couple stand under when they are married.

Log Cabin, two - I taught how to make this wallhanging on the TV show "Quilt Central TV"--900 series. The Quilted wallhanging is 17" square. Beige on beige printed fabrics were used in the log cabin blocks. The sashing is a woven black and tan check. The centers of each quilt block is embellished with Stitchin' Up the Pieces buttons. The buttons are individual quilt pieces which can be interchanged to create a miriad of different quilt blocks. JHB Buttons creates these buttons for me.

Celebrate Freedom - This pattern was featured in Sewing Savvy's July 2007 issue. Red, White and Blue becomes a celebrated wallhanging for your home! Great to display for year round viewing with the Americana look and feel. The wallhanging is designed like a banner, it hangs from a painted flag design.

Strawberries & Apples - I saw the pear quilt on Simply Quilts and made this one with strawberries and apples.

Log Cabin Flowers - This is the unquilted Log Cabin Flowers quilt top from my book, New Country Quilting, published by Krause Pub. 128 pages. The book is a home decor' book, with projects for each room of your home, kitchen, living room, family room, bath and bedroom!

Wedding Vows Remembered - The 2nd quilt I have made using my original design. I was trying to find a design that looked like a DWR without curves.

Marsha's Quilt - This quilt was designed for my husband's cousin in honor of her new home. The bright colors in her living room called out for the rich colors of the batik fabrics.

On a Sunday afternoon - I purchased this kit on a trip to Solvang, CA. It took over a year to complete as I only worked on it occasionally. I was working full time and the sole provider since my husband was medically retired. I had never been exposed to any quilts before that time, but loved the look.

"Happy 30th" - I had this pattern for quite awhile and decided to use it to make a special quilt for my daughter-in-law's 30th birthday. This was my first attempt at applique. I used a button-hole stitch all around the hearts. She really likes it and it hangs on their kitchen wall.

Versie's memorial quilt - T-shirts bought by Versie Fontenot on her many trips around the world with her husband, Leo Fontenot, were used to make this quilt after her death. It made her husband very happy and now that he is gone it belongs to their son.

Leaves in My Kitchen - This wall hanging was made from Cherrywood fabrics that I purchased at Paducah a few years ago. Their fabrics looks like suede. It hangs in my kitchen in a spot just the right size for it.
