The Ladies of the Sho[ - Since retirement I have worked in a quilt shop. When I came across this pattern I decided to make the ladies of the shop, where I work.
Country Apples - This quilt pattern attracted me immediately. I love the country look of it but think it would fit in most decors. It was my first attempt at applique.
This bytes - This is a queen size quilt that I made for my dear brother. He loves his computers and so I made him a quilt with nothing but ones and zeros on it. Every single block is a different font. By the time I was almost finished Embroidering all the blocks I was so sick of black and white. But the quilt turned out wonderful and my brother loves it and uses it on his bed. I think there was something like 42 blocks or something.
Sandcastles for Peggy - My friend started this quilt, but never finished...she gave me the blocks and I made some more and put it together....it's my husbands favorite.
Neon Stones - Photo of "stones" with software "neonoize" manipulation. Printed on cotton fabric. Machine embroidered and quilted with Superior tri-lobal poly thread.
George's Quilt - made for a dear friend, George, who had Alzheimer's. He wouldn't let the hospital staff take him to the O/R for surgery unless he had his quilt with him! Sadly, he lost his battle only a year after I made his quilt for him.
House With Four Rooms - "There is an Indian proverb that says that a person is like a house with four rooms: a spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we visit each room every day, if only to air it out, we are not a complete person" -- Rumer Godden
