Stars and Crosses - front of quilt - I started quilting in 2002. The second quilt that I started was this king-size quilt (what was I thinking!?!?!). I finally finished it late in 2006 and had it quilted in 2007. I am giving it to my parents to keep them warm on cold nights in Minnesota.
Red, White and Blue - My brother has visited the states a few times and loves it. So i made this quilt for him. i was very pleased to get the flag fabric in Australia
Curves, Spikes and Flying Geese - The fabrics in this quilt were fun to put together - the more the better. This is a popular class that I teach. The spikes and flying geese are paper-pieced but I don't sew through the paper so I don't have to tear it out afterward. The curves use the Backporch template and is a gentle curve so no pinning or clipping is needed.
What's Black, White and Red All Over? - Made for my nieces 21st. She loved it. It is by far the largest quilt I have made to date. I enjoyed working with the predominately black and white fabrics.
Welcome - I made this for my daughter's nephew (the love of her life). I took the motifs from the stamps on his nursery wall. This was a fun quilt to make with a lot of love and hugs.
Seneca Falls Kansas City Star - When visiting the Grand Lake area, I stopped into the local quilt shop and found this kit. The quilt honors women of history in the various fabrics used. This quilt hung in the Capitol Quilt Show April 2007.
This was designed by Sue Boushard for Quilt in a Day Book,"Christmas at Bear Paw Ranch".
I have been to the Bear Paw Ranch and met Elenor Burns a few times. She is very funny and bright.
Her retreat in Julian California is great fun.
String Quilt - Fran Snay was our teacher at our Fall Retreat held at Peaceful Valley Ranch Oct 2007. Not only did I actually finish the piecing, but I got it finished! Yeh.
Plumeria - Took a class at Memory Lane Quilt Shop in Santee California.
I made this wall hanging for my mother and she has it on the wall in her house.
Harmonic Convergence - This was a class that I had taken when I was brand new to quilting. Little did I know what it would lead to (stash, stash, stash) I quilted this using gold metallic thread and copied the leaf motif in the quilt.
A Mountain Scene - I needed something to prevent prying eyes from looking in from the street so I had leftover blocks and added a few more to make the length fit.
Little Blue Bird - I took a class in applique from Pearl Pereira. This is the design she uses to teach her method. It came out great. My Granddaughter loved it a took it home with her.
