Flowers for Mum - Made for a challenge at our local shop using the Inspiration fabrics, a percentage of the sale of which goes to Ovarian Cancer Research. It's in memory of my Mum.
Mom's Breast Cancer Quilt - I made this quilt for my Mom who was undergoing breast cancer treatment. I did this quilt and others at a "Quilt Pink" retreat week-end where a group of us made several quilt tops for auction for breast cancer research funds. There are two embroidery bocks of the "Hat's off to you" Girls by Lorilee. September 2006.
Vacation Views - Each window contains a family vacation photo, scene of places we visited, or other travel-related themes, in this quilt I made to thank my dad for family vacations all over the US when we were young. He loves it!
My Christmas Quilt - This was machine pieced and hand quilted. I had the cut the center octagon off originally and couldn't get the side diamonds to fit, so I had to put this down for about 2 months before I could face straightening it out. But I eventually got it. The center is a hand quilted trapunto carnation with hand stippling all around it. it was fun to do.
Paper (cut) Training - I appliqued this in about 8 months in 1999 and wanted to hand quilt it. The problem was I used Warm and Natural for the batting and have had a hard time needling it. So much so that I still haven't finished the borders. I'm determined NOT to let another Christmas go by without this being finished. We'll see.
Mariners Compass - I just loved Mariner's compasses. The compass and border points were handpieced, while the larger construction was done on the machine. It is entirely machine quilted.
Hugs Quilt - This quilt top was made by various members of the Fort Worth Quilt Guild to be given to a member for the loss of a loved one or severe illness. To date this top is in progress to be finished and given in time of need.
Country Patriotic Stars - Blocks were chosen for block of the month program for Bluebonnet Area Quilt Guild. Each one is a star of some type. Only three fabrics were used - cream crackle background, red star and blue star.
Snowman Collector Quilt - I started this BOM in 1999 - worked on blocks mostly at retreats and finally finished top in January 2007! Woo Hoo!!! Now let's see how long it will take me to Quilt It!! Will keep you posted.
Bill's Quilt - Bill selected the majority of the fabrics in Oklahoma Quiltworks. Quilting pattern was taken from volume two of Sharon Schamber's books and enlarged.
