Charleston Blues - Quite a departure for someone who appreciates more traditional quilts!

Checking Out - This quilt resulted from playing with dozens of half-square triangles from batik squares on my design wall. It is currently on display at Ithaca Bakery until May 3, 2009.

Jeremy's Jungle Frogs - This is the first project Jeremy made on his own, with his Hello Kitty Janome sewing machine. He was 5 when he pieced this top. It's still a UFO, but he plans to quilt it this summer.

Dolly Dingle - This quilt based on design of "Ashley" quilt by . My mother and I collaberated together to make the quilt. She drew the the "Dolly" face based on a paper doll she played with as a child by the name of Dolly Dingle. The majority of the fabric was chosen by her. I designed the brownie uniform in the quilt. All other clothing designs were part of the purchased pattern. This quilt and one other quilt were my first entries into a quilt show. It was a small show in Midlothian, Texas. Both ended up winning blue ribbons (what a neat surprise). The quilt now resides on a bed in my mother's home.

Floating Star - It was a fun and easy quilt to make. I'm drawn to intense colors and always enjoy looking at it.

New Orleans Faces Quilt - I made this for my son when he had graduated from Tulane University and moved away from one of his favorite cities. Now he and his family are back in New Orleans, working toward the reconstruction of the schools in the area. My granddaughter now sleeps under this quilt, which she named her faces quilt.

Garden Steps - pattern and fabrics purchased at Creations, Kerrville, TX.

Harley Crazy Quilt - After taking a crazy quilting class at Creative Sewing Center, San Antonio, TX, with Alice Kolb, I gathered bandanas my husband and I got from various travels. I also machine embroidered motorcycles on various fabrics. Sorry, Ricky, that we can't make the La Veta ride this year! Maybe sometime.... (Milan rides a '99 Fatboy, with custom paint, featuring his other passion, carving wood spirits; I'm the lucky passenger!)

no name for this 1 - Made this for my aunt Peg because she is so wonderful. Its a lap quilt

not quite right - Made this for my grand daughter, She is so full of color and smart as a whip. She is original so her quilt is a little different. I call her La La, she love to sing.

A few of my Favorite Things - I collect blue and white plates and teapots. This was paper pieced and I liked the way it looked like a cabinet.

Love - I made this quilt as a Christmas present for my husband John.

Divas - Machine embroidered and quilted, 2nd quilt I made. Loved the Fashion Girls embroideries from A Bit of Stitch. Made it for my daughter who was on "Joe Millionaire," because all of the girls were made out to be golddiggers, when in reality, they were all successful, intelligent women.

Sheep in Dreamland - The sheep are made from a wonderful, curly, hot pink fabric. Very cute!
