Pride and Joy 2

Baby Ohio Star State - Friends graduated from OSU and were having a baby. Used Ohio Star pattern and placed the Block O where the hearts were on the reference pattern.

Craig's Quilt - I made this quilt for my son's 21st birthday. It also incorporates his name in machine embroidered Kanji symbols. There is a second quilt which buttons onto the back featuring photos through his first 21 years.

Back of Craig's Quilt - This is the back of Craig's 21st quilt which features many photos of his years growing up.

Batik stained glass - My MIL asked me to make a quilt for the church auction. I loved the look of batiks for a stained glass look.

Bear in a colorful wood - Baby quilt for friends who are nature lovers. This quilt is on his bed every day. This is one of my favorites.

Baby Trip - A baby quilt for friends who are both artists. Very simple looking but with a prairie point type edge. I loved figuring out the color transition.

Baltimore Album - 20 Baltimore-style applique blocks.

Heidi's Hydrangeas - My first attempt at an original design and one of my first applique quilts. I entered it in the Rose Hill Quilt Show in Frederick, Maryland and it took a ribbon in the small wallhanging mixed technique category. I gave it to my daughter on her September 11 birthday in 2002, one year after the terrible day that changed our lives forever.

Forever Blowing Bubbles - Entered in the Clustered Spires Quilt Guild Challenge 2006, won 3rd place.

Teddy for Cynthia - I used faux fur for Teddy and buttons from my Grandmother's button jar for eyes. The doily was from our daughter's wedding reception table.

Trip Around the World - Made for our daughter and her husband for their wedding.

Bed of Roses - I saw this in McCall's Quilting magazine, and the original quilt at the International Quilt Show in Chicago and loved it.

Daisies - Cut up 18 Fat Quarters, one simple block, uses all of the fabric - this twin sized quilt can be made in a saturday!

Christmas Star - This is a great pattern and I have used all Christmas fabrics for it to create a seasonal quilt which was finished in time for use in December 2006.

Beyond Vintage II - Border created by customizing original designs.

"Springtime in Japan" 2 ribbon winner & AQS juried - I am proud to say that this quilt was juried into the AQS show Nashville 2005. It got a 1st place ribbon at another show as well as an honorable mention at another. So happy ! What started out as a "1 block" piece for the wall, escalated into a whole quilt. It was quilted in gold metallic Sulky Holoshimmer thread.
