Judy & Jordan's Quilt - JWS is my grand-son that loves music. The inspiration for this quilt was easy because of the music sheet--gift from my husband sister's that is Dr. in Music. Judy has passed since, she never saw this quilt. This quilt was hand pieced and hand quilted summer 1999. (Quilt Size: 38" x 50")

?? - I made this quilt for my son's BFF ("best friend forever")'s high school graduation. On to college. What a great kid! These are all batiks in blue, gray and slight green. On the back, I used Ami Simm's Twisted Sisters on a background of blue green batik -- more woodsy theme -- with conversational prints making the blades of the block. I chose fabrics with meaning to the boys -- school buses, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, bikes, travels they took together, etc., and included photos at the bottom.

Bed Bugs - Based on picture from book and adapted to my own design

Pumpkins - Needed something for fall decor.

Cottage Garden Sampler - This was my very first quilt! Begun in late 2004 and completed in 2005. My first quilting class with my brand new Bernina sewing machine!

In The Pink - Traditional pinwheel of half-square triangles using two fabrics, both commercial fabrics. I believe the pink fabric was a "Quilt For The Cure" fabric.

Lollipop Land - My first hand quilting class. I think I'll stick with machine quilting! I love the lollipops though.

Revenge of the Wheel - The dark fabric is diamonds fussy cut from Star Wars fabric. Each diamond was cut the same so that a pattern was created.

Penn's quilt - This was totally hand-pieced and handquilted for my first grandchild!

There's No Place Like Home - This was an applique block of the month; I discovered I love applique! Each of the house numbers represent a house number I lived at or my mother or grandmother lived at.

Holiday Bow - What a wonderful class at the Quilt Show in Nashville with Eleanor Burns! Almost entirely completed in class!

Grandmother - I donated this piece to Ami Simms' Art for Alzheimers auction in 2006. It was selected to be sold during the Houston Quilt festival and raised $45 for research. I checked the booth every day but never saw it; it must have sold early. I'd love to know who owns it but will probably never know.

Stars in a North Wind - This quilt was made using Sharyn Craig's method of doing Northwind blocks (If you ever have the opportunity to take on of her classes I highly recommend it--she's a great teacher!). As I worked on the quilt I was reminded of a story my husband tells of his uncle Andy. He is quoted as saying. "A north wind is always cold, no matter what direction it comes from."

Country Christmas - This is a sampler quilt using traditional 12 inch and 6 inch quilt blocks. The quilting includes poinsettia, Christmas rose, basket floers, ruffle hearts, star in star, spool hearted, oak leaf.

Uncle Sam Quilt - This was part of a quilt block exchange with my local quilt group. I added about half of the blocks in order to make the quilt big enough.

Auntie Bean's Stalks - Scrappy yellow and black sunflowers on a background of reds, with green in the corners of the large blocks. These 17 inch blocks were cut with templates.

Starlight Mystery Quilt - Mystery quilt made with the Carol Doak quilt group

In the Pink - Quilt made from charm pack of pinks, using half square triangles and a white/pink background fabric.
