Wolf over Okinawa - My son loved this wall hanging. So I modified the flying geese to continue around the top and bottom to increase the size. He has slept with this quilt every night since the day I finished it.

THE GREEN THING - From a class by Mary Jane Best I used 8 fat quarters in fall colors, and a "Pontinelle" Black/Green fabric. Fussy cutting it to get the light color for the center block and the darkest color of the fabric for the outside blocks.

Xmas stocking for Raina - Using velvets, satin, brocade and misc. fabrics to make a rectangle. I then cut out the stocking shape. The velvet on the back has cats and paw prints embossed into it. Her mother also received a crazy quilt stocking.

It's Finished My Baltimore Album Quilt - Starting in 1993 I took a series of Baltimore Album Quilt, working on them on and off. Finished top around 1999. Always waiting to hand quilt it. Finally decided to have it machine quilted in 2004. I am very pleased with it, and it is finished.Patterns are from Elly Sienkiewicz book "Baltimore Album and Beyond"

Kitty In The Garden - This is part of a Merry-Go-Round Challenge with my guild. Each of us received 8 blue fabrics in various sizes and were challenged to make a quilted item using at least a part of the 8 fabrics. This is one side of what will be a tote for my cutting mat, etc. I added the pink background fabric, but all of the appliques were challenge fabrics - albeit painted or inked to give me some variety.

Island Girls - I made this for my husband. The fussy cut centers are "Nose art" girls from WWII airplanes.

Bento Box - I love Japanese fabrics. All of the fabrics I brought back with me from Japan. This quilt hangs in my office.

Autumn's Quilt - This is my first completed quilt! For the birth of my niece, Autumn, I decided she needed something extra special from Aunt Wanda. I pulled the fabrics from my fabric stash I had accumulated when sewing my daughter’s clothing when she was small.

Hearts - This was a guild workshop project. I used all of my colorful scraps from other projects. I was the only "bright" in my guild at the time. It was very flashy compared to all the others. It lays on our dining room table every February.

John Loves Java - I loved the wacky, off-kilter coffee cups in this pattern and made a wall hanging with many different, bright & coffee-themed fabrics. It hangs in my husband's office.

WOW It's Gunzel - I made this as a class sample and when I finished it I immediately thought of my late father. He loved red. It is machine and hand quilted

A Garden of Flowers for Madison - I started this quilt for my granddaughter in 2000 and finished it in 2006. It is all hand done

Sanborn Family Reunion Signature Quilt - I made this for our family reunion and gave it to our hostess, my sister

Find the Baby - This is my interpretation of a picture someone sent me on e-mail. I was to find the baby (which I did instantly). Can you find the baby? Anyway, I thought the photo would make a wonderful quilt and I think it did! It took over 40 hours to "snippet" the design.

Chile Peppas - I loved the fabric and thought it would be fun to make a kaleidescopic dresden plate quilt. It was a lot of fun to make. Here's a little secret ... I had "squishies" behind some of the scattered chile peppers and needed to cover up my errors in learning to machine quilt. The peppers look like they're part of the entire plan. It wasn't part of the plan until I made "squishies" in my machine quilting.

Jungle Fever - Made this very bright quilt for my grandson, before he was born.

Bugs for Jayden - When I saw this fabric in a bundle I had to make this quilt for my grandson. This was my second quilt. The first one was for him too!

Sudoko - A Variety of Oriental fabrics, with basic directions, and a puzzle to solve for the pattern. Could not resist, since I love doing sudoko puzzles.
