Calvins Dreams

Welsh quilt green/gold - My favorite welsh quilt, lovely stitching, wool wadding so very sculptural, the designs are very traditional. A very heavy and large quilt from a house sale.

Welsh strippy - A welsh strippy, as is usual, the quilting pattern does not follow the strips but is an all over centre medallion patttern. The quilting is very good, with many traditional patterns including cathedral window.

Welsh bluegreen/gold - A rather worn quilt that was used on a bed in Wales until recently. Stitching is still interesting, an all over pattern with wool wadding that really makes the quilting stand out. A very large and heavy quilt

green and gold Welsh quilt - Welsh wholecloth that appears never to have been used. Wool wadding and very fine circular patterns.

Tulip Bulbs - I made this friend quilt for my friend Janice about 8 years ago, everytime I visit her and see this I want it, I finnally made an additional one for myself. I am so ready for spring, this hanging up helps on those gloomy days.

Sanderson Star Quilt - Star quilt in green/bronze cotton from a house sale in Barnard Castle, Durham. The quilt has never been used and still has the blue pencil markings of the quilt "stamper" visible.

Brians quilt

OU Baby Quilt - My grandaughter is a HUGE University of Oklahoma sports fan, so when they decorated their nursery in OU memorabilia, the quilt was a natural.

Kitties in the Corner - I made this quilt for a friend's first baby. The baby is a boy and she is a cat lover. The center block is a pattern from a learn to quilt kit, I half sized it for the kitties in the corners.

Lady Bug's Delight - I found the ladybug maple leaf block on the web, I don't know where, sorry. I used the Rolling Stone block, because it resembled a flower. The backing is baby pink velour so it is very soft. I made this quilt for a friend having her first baby. She had a beautiful baby girl named Isabella. Bella has Down's Syndrome, I hope the bright colors and shapes in this quilt will bring her great joy.

Here Fishy, Fishy - My quilt guild's, Colorado West Quilters Guild, challenge this year was "Yikes Stripes" we had to use this absolutly hideous crazy striped fabric and strange spotty fabric. The only rules were that a noticable amount of both fabrics be used. I saw an area in the stripes that resembled a fish, that was where it began. All four fish, the eel, snails and seaweed were made from the stripe fabric, the starfish and anemone are from the other. The backing fabric is a cat design, hence the name 'Here Fishy, Fishy'. This quilt sold at our Guild action for $75, it is the first quilt I've sold.

Sampler from Alex Anderson's "Start Quilting" - This is the first quilt I made. Machine pieced and quilted. It is all cotton and a cotton batting.

Green Odessey - I made this quilt in a day class with the designer Deb. A lot of machine quilting tecniques were taught.

Waiting for Sarah - I made this blue and yellow french provincial colours in a post and rail pattern out of flannel as a thank you present for a friend.

Family of dolls - Began in 1994 and finally completed in 2006 while on sick leave.
