Geranium - The geranium was flower pounded on fabric and then scanned on my computer to make the image permanent.

Barb's Flower Garden - Made for local guild challenge. Requirements: include block made by recently deceased member; make entirely from stash; include image of bumble bee.

Celtic Knotwork - Originally made for a fabric challenge in our guild, using the blue fabric.

Fall Leaves - The leaves in this quilt are made of wool.

Butterfly Sunset

Healing Hands - Using tracings of hands of my care-givers at the Zimmer Cancer Center, I made a quilt for them. And, since the fusing technique makes two hands each of them received one as a memory gift. I added the individual's signature to each block.

Truly Trapunto - I really love the blue against the white. The ruffled borders were quite a challenge and not part of the original pattern. I just thought they would look nice!

Dad's Quilt - These jewel tone fabrics are deep and masculine. I made it for my dad who was having dialysis ever other day for many years. We lost him in January of 2007 and I came back into possession of the quilt. I can't look at it yet without feeling sad, so it is stored away right now.

New York Beauty in Yellow, Purple and Green - This was paper pieced. This began with purple and yellow only; but then I decided it needed a third color, so along came the green! The colors were my choices and not ones suggested by the book. This was and will be the only paper-pieced quilt I will do! (I love applique....). This was fun and I'm happy with the result, but I prefer other methods. I hung this quilt in my daughter's old room and actually redecorated the room around it! The whole room is purple, green and yellow. Light lavender rug, yellow bedspread, one accent light purple wall, etc.

Social Flutterby - Made as a gift for my sister who is a clinical social worker and lover of butterflies.

Star Table - I saw a picture of this quilt on the back of a book or magazine and bought the publication thinking it would be in there - but it wasn't. So, I just made it up to look similar.

Heart Quilt - This was a block exchange of 4 patch blocks. I never could figure out what to do until I found this applique on my D1. I love the scrappy look.

Blue Heron - A paper pieced pattern designed by Kathy Coffin. I made this into a pillow cover. Took this workshop at a retreat on PEI.

Margaritaville - I just loved the wonky cottages and thought the Name Margaritaville fit.

Sunbonnet Belles - This quilt was a special order by Michelle. The applique embroidery designs are from Designs by JuJu.

Cardinal in the Pines - One of my first quilts--nobody told me that this was a tough pattern.
