Out of this World - Ain't She Cute? - This was a "puzzle" challenge with my art group - JNKS. Real earrings and pin were added to highlight her face.

Stack N Whack - My brother loves to play poker so when I saw this fabric I knew just what I had to do with it. My brother although 10 years younger than me never passes a new quilt shop without stopping in and buying me a piece of fabric.

The wedding Quilt - This was made for my cousins wedding. I prmised them they would have it by the birth of their first child. Quilt was finished about two weeks before their first child was born. Opps took a little longer than I thought to make the quilt.LOL

Blended Nine Patch - This quilt has not yet been quilted. This was done as a challenge quilt. A group of us all started with the same piece of fabric and the same quilt that we could use anywhere. It was fun to see how different they all where when we were done.

Log Cabin - This was the first quilt that I ever made. It was tied.

Crocogator - I made this quilt for my granddaughter on her fifth birthday.

Spring - This quilt was foundation pieced in the center. Threads creating the "branch" in the border and I made small "dogwood" blossoms using a pen to high light the edges. It took honorable mention in a local quilt contest.

Melissabeth's Garden - A combination of applique, dimensional applique and various blocks which was machine pieced, hand appliqued, machine and hand quilted as the mood struck. Basically is is a medalion quilt with multiple borders.

My Mother's Quilt - My mother hand pieced the blocks on "old domestic" when she was 15 and never did anything with them. In 1997, while preparing to sell their home and move to a retirement community, she threw a plastic bag at me and said, "Here, you are the only one I know who might do something with these.". I had never seen them before. I machine pieced the top and hand-quilted the quilt and then gave it to her for her 83rd birthday. She proudly showed anyone who would look. Sadly, she died in December, 1005. I now have "custody" until my granddaughter who is name after he can appreciate it.

Hearts and Flowers - This quilt was made for my best friend (over 50 years) for her 62nd birthday.

Above Healdsburg - I used an aerial photo of my town as the inspiration for this quilt. I experimented with reverse applique to add different layers of fabric. The river fabric was fabric I'd dyed by pouring dye as the fabric hung draped over a rod, which made for a streaky result. I love how it looks like light reflecting off of water.

Candy Galore - I wanted to make a quilt for my nephew that a young boy would like. Who doesn't like candy? I used bright colors to match the colors in the candy printed fabric. I used jelly beans, gumballs, and lollipops as my candied fabric.

Eliza's Baby Quilt - This quilt pattern is Lucky Stars by Terry Atkinson (Copyright 2002) of Atkinson Designs. My daughter chose Kaye England's collection "Kaye's Cottage". I quilted it heavily with my Bernina machine and used "Libby Lehman's Bottom Line" on top and bottom. The border was pieced of different solids from the fabric line and bound by machine. I did embroider the baby's name, DOB and Baptismal Date on the front as well as "Grma Judy" on the back. The batting was Warm and Natural. The dense quilting with the Bottom Line did not stiffen the quilt as one might expect, so after washing and tumble drying (yes, it is a baby quilt), the soft effect was perfect for a new baby. This is the 3rd quilt I have made from this pattern and love the process each time I make it.

Hugs for Susan - Signature quilt made for one of my staff members to comfort her as she underwent treatment for breast cancer.

Mary Ellens Quilts - This Hugs and Kisses pattern was made into this bright little quilt given by me to a friend as a Thank you present...
