No Name

Kitty Caper - Made as a gift for my partner at work as she loves cats.

Wedding Quilt - This is a quilt I made for my wedding (07-07-07) to be used as a wal decoration for the Wildflower theme. It is made with Texas Wildflower material.

Mary Jean's Liberty Star - This lap quilt was made for my deceased mother's best friend, Mary Jean Douthitt, in honor of her 83rd birthday. Mary Jean loves all things Americana. In fact, she drives her little White Rabbit around town with a U.S. flag flying. Yes, she's very active and an inspiration to everyone who knows her. In the four corners, I used silk thread to embroider the year of her birth in one corner, the current year in another, her monogram in another corner and mine in the last. She's been our family friend since I was born and became friends with my mother in/around 1933. I love her a lot.

Haines Heirloom Crazy Quilt - This is a family heirloom quilt worked on for many years isince 1890s. It is gorgeous up close, and has some beautiful hand embroidery. I have a trunk full of antique fabrics they used to make this quilt. I used some of the silk to make Silk Spun Kimonos.

Stars and Chains - I love stars and I wanted to use up some scraps so I picked this pattern and made a lap-size quilt (which kind of makes a bed topper as you can see). I used wool batting which gives a nice warmth and low loft.

Polka Dot Dreams - I used the Beatrix Potter fabrics for this baby quilt and felt it was predictable so I added polka dot fabric for the variable star points and binding. I added machine embroidery monograms to two corners and the year in the other two corners since the baby is not yet named and due in July, 2007. He will be the 2nd child and 1st boy born to Stephen and Amy McHaney of Victoria, Texas.

Sunrise Sunset - When I saw a picture of this quilt I thougt, where would I find those fabrics. Well they were just about all in my stash. Making this quilt didn't put a dent in the stash either!

Magic Squares - My original design, small quilt easy-to-make with two sets of strip-pieced fabric, cut into triangles and reassembled into squares. My pattern is available at Quiltwoman.com or www.loveinstitches.com.

Lady Lisa - Panel by Andover Fabrics

Alaskan Sampler - This sampler was great fun to make with all the Alaskan themed blocks. I enjoyed using some fabric I hand-dyed with my quilt bee as well as some purchased specifically for this quilt by my husband and son.

Round Robin Christmas Quilt - This was done as a round robin in a mini quilt group. I started with the Gingerbread men, and the other strips were added by the other members of the group, then I added the strips of small squares and put the quilt together.

Cherry Basket - I made this for a lady who loves cherries and I used all cherry fabrics

Winging It - This is made of cotton with Lame wings. It is quilted in the center block and green area. I think I'll quilt the whole piece. June Colburn is a beautiful teacher, and quiet soul. I took her class to make a fan vest. Too big for me now, so I should make a wall quilt of it.

Out of a Clear Blue Sky - This small quilt was made in response to 9/11. It depicts the burning documents that were the first one New Jersey woman knew of the destruction of the world trade centre.

Romantic Baskets - I donated this quilt to the Napa School district to auction.

Celtic Wave - This was made in a Quilt University class in 2004. I recommend their classes to everyone, they are wonderful!
