The blocks That Tumbled - I began this as a hand pieced project to do while a passenger on car trips in the early 90s. Got confused when assembling the blocks and put it away until a few weeks ago when I put it together by machine and will start quilting it shortly.
Many Moons - This wall hanging is a little outside my"comfort zone," but I was inspired by all the exceptional quiults in the quilt gallery to stretch myself.
Serendipity----back of quilt - This is a super enlarged thunderbird which is a block on the front of the quilt. Sorry the pictures are so bad. People were holding it--sorry photo guru!
A New Beginning - I wanted to do a Log Cabin block quilt. Used all kinds of greens, with a bit of blue and teal, and
all shades of reds with a bit of pinks and purple!
Serendipity - This quilt is hand pieced, hand appliqued and hand quilted. I finished it in 2006, but it really took about 5 years, off and on. Quilting is all southwest oriented.
Friends Forever - This was made for my childhood friend's first grandchild. Little did I know that within the year she would be a grandmom again and I would be making another quilt just like it for Lauren's little sister.
Giggles For Mr. B - This quilt was created for my grandson's 3rd birthday and his first 'big boy' bed. The novelty prints feature things that make Brian giggle, thus the name. The back of the quilt is a multitude of brightly colored blocks.
"Going Crazy!" - this is my 'therapy' quilt which illustrates how the year has been! It is embroidered with words and images that signify some of the stresses I experienced.
Quilt for Olivia - stamped design that Angela Cortes embroidered and I was hired to assemble and quilt the 4 embroidered squares for the great grandaughter of Angela who is Olivia born April 3, 2007
Red Hat Ladies - Based on a line drawing made by my eldest son, I machine embroidered myself and four women who had positively impacted my life. Long before the Red Hat Society, these ladies immortalized the poem "Warning".
She Worketh Willingly With Her Hands - These are photos of women's hands transferred to silk and then appliqued onto a background of raw edged hand painted silk. It is embellished with silk ribbon and semi-precious beads. This work is a testament to all that women quietly do.
Triple Treat - My LQS, Quilt Lovers Hangout, heard that the soldiers in Iraq are cold at night and using WWII blankets. Several of us are making quilts to send over.
