Ring of Roses - This quilt was created in a work shop class with Karen McTavish.

Isabella's Garden - This was from Simply Quilts block of the month. I added embroideries and buttons.

Remember Japan - Currently on the quilting frame, this is a display of some of the wonderful Asian inspired fabrics. The backing includes a woodblock type of print from Japan.

Skulls and Country Roads - The skulls fabric was the inspiration for this quilt. Taking a traditional design, using bright unconventinal fabrics, this quilt blends the best of both worlds.

Horsing Aound - This quilt was my introduction to raw edge quilting. I started it in a class at the Quilters Affair just before the Sisters Quilt Show.

Kesten's Hearts - A clean-out-my-stash project, this one was slow and laborous to produce.

My Irish Chain - This quilt followed closely on the heels of Elanore Burns' log cabin quilts. I saw a pattern in a magazine that I liked and purchased the fabric, but I just knew I could make the quilt using Elanore's strip piecing methods. After many nights trying to figure out how to do that, I cam up with my solutions and make the quilt top. When we returned to the United States, I discovered that Elanore had published her approach to the double Irish chainn. I was pleased to see that she had come up with many of the same solutions I had devised. This is the last quilt I will ever hand quilt. Over the course of several years (yes, years -- that's why I won't do another), using an oval frame on a stand and moving the fabric in the frame as I quilted, I finished the quilting. Thanks Elanore for devising a way that a busy mother and full time teacher can still enjoy quilting!

Jennifer and David Wedding Quilt - This large quilt was created by many members of La Habra High School as a wedding gift for Jennifer, the Principal of the school. The colors were chosen because they represented the favorite colors of the bride and groom. Planning, cutting, sewing, turning and pressing were all accomplished in the computer lab after hours. Members working on the quilt included English teachers, Math teachers, art teachers, and clerical staff. Truely a labor of love

Memory Quilt - This is the third part of "The Memory Quilt Project"

Geisha Fan-Tasy - Drew geisha myself. Fan blocks were from EQ5.

Dad Would be Honored - As my dad was going through the process of dying I had the opportunity to help him go through his stuff and pass on to each of use those things that would be memorable for each of us. I got his ties and dad said he'd be honored if I'd make a quilt with them.

Millenium Lily - The mango batik in the flower was our challenge fabric. Based on a Stargazer lily, this was made in a Jane Sassaman workshop. The Fair hung it sideways.

THANKS! - From Opening Day of the Wounded Warrior Barracks, Camp Pendleton. We made quilts for each bed. We turned over every quilt, they had them upside down to protect the front!

Emma's Hearts - This wall quilt was made for my mother-in-law for her room in an assisted living facility.
