Too Much Fun, Mystery - This is the first full size quilt I had made. It was a mystery class at Quilt Camp in the pines taught by Lyn Mann. I had so much fun and it truely was a surprise to see how the colors I picked worked out. I think I am having an itch to do another mystery, Lyn..................................
Farmer Phil and Phoebe - This was a wonderful class, taught by Freddy Moran. It was a blast finding all of the flower fab. for Phoebe and Veggies for Phil. Phoebe does have some jewelry on and the quilting in the sashing spells out all fruits, veggies and flowers.
Dot Com - One can not have enough dots! This was very fun to make. The quilting is in circles and the border spells out Dot Com all of the way around. Another class by Freddy Moran, and just think of the quilts by Freddy that I still have to finish! One just cannot have more fun with such lively colors.
Mystery 2 much fun - Another Mystery Quilt made in a class taught by Lyn Mann at Quilt Camp in the Pines. Just love this quilt and to think all fabrics picked out without knowing what design we were going to make!
Northern Lights 1 - I created this for the MN Quilters Show Challenge in 2006. I was inspired by an image in a Dover book titled Bevels and Jewels Stained Glass Pattern Book by Ed Sibbett, Jr. The top is a mix of batiks and gold metallic ribbon. The challenge was to create a piece using the fabric packet and other fabrics I added. The Challenge title was "Sew Many Northern Lights." The batting is Warm & Natural 100% cotton. The back is a multi colored hand dyed by Stephanie Forsyth. It did not win a ribbon, but I will keep trying.
Family - Made for a beloved brother-in-law to remind him that family doesn't have to be blood! Made during the QuiltEscape Retreat held at Shawnee State Park in Ohio each November.
From Auntie D - There are two of these quilts - this one in red and white and a matching one in blue and yellow to please two special young ladies. This one got dragged to show and tell in my "niece's" school after Christmas.
911 quilt - I made & dedicated this to my Father-in-law for his 35 years of service as a firefighter. It also coincided with the tragedy of 911 and was inspired by this event to honor him.
Rainbow Sherbet with a Scoop of Pineapple - When I got tired of nine and four patches, I added some Stack the Deck blocks from a pattern I created that included some of my hand painted fabrics.
Alabama - This quilt was for one of our High School Coach's son. Coach is a HUGE Alabama football fan, but more specific Bear Bryant fan. I embroidered one of Bear's quotes on the quilt. The backing and binding is a small houndstooth fabric in honor of Bear Bryant's Hat.
Splashed! - The focus fabric appears to be splashed with blues, teals, greens, and purples. I had to fight with myself to cut this fabric, that's why the cuts are large.
Cats for Oscar - I started with the Kool Kats wall hanging pattern, made 4 cats, added appliqued stars, and used Ricky Tims caveman quilting technique for the striped borders.
