Tulips Table Runner - Made through a class at my local quilt store.

Pin Up Girls - A 20-something bachelor quilt for my oldest son, this quilt has a luxurious brown faux fur backing that makes it extra heavy and warm, and provides a nice contract to the pinups on the front.

Haiku - I made this quilt for a friend who loves writing Haiku. They were made for each other!

Color Me Happy - A few ladies in my friendship group, Sew Together, got together to make quilts for a family whose father had passed away suddenly from a brain cancer. I got to make the quilt for a pre-teen girl and was told that she liked funky bright colors. These were anonymous gifts each of us made for the mom, this young lady as well as her 4 year old brother. It gave me great pleasure to be a part of this effort.

Wedding Quilt - This was a block of the month quilt through my local quilt store. It was made as a wedding gift.

Skyline - This was my first attempt at bargello. The Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild offered it in a class at their 2005 Quilt University. It took very little fabric and was great fun to do. The technique is much easier than I ever imagined it would be.

A Bed of Tulips - After being laid up from a major back surgery, I was able to do nothing but walk very short distances and enjoy all the television I wanted. Well, I'm not much for the tv but I stopped short when I saw my first quilt program ever, Quilt in a Day, by Eleanor Burns. I was hooked!!! Well, it certainly took me more than one day, but forever changed my life. This is my first and favorite quilt, and turned out pretty darn good, if I do say so myself!

For Chris - A Christmas gift for my sister-in-law who collects cups and saucers. I found out I really like paper piecing.

Nick's College Quilt - This is the first t-shirt quilt I created. I got carried away and its much larger than originally intended! I like the process so much I have started up a small business making t-shirt quilts.

Kristine's Quilt - Soft neutral beige, browns and peach Appliqued quilt

Princess Cassandra - Purchased Princess theme fabric, Embroidered designs using Bernina 180E

We'll Miss You - One of our engineers at work was leaving after 5 years to return home to Japan. I remembered this folded square that I did as a "make and take" several years ago at the Sew Expo. The squares are very easy to complete. The hard part was figuring out how to connect them. After a ton of brain storming with quilting friends, I came up with the idea of using beads as connectors.

Puppies in the Corner - Made for my niece's first son. He loves puppies so I left the puppy fabric as a large piece on the back.

Pulse - Sunrise and sunset with the night in between, the pulse of a day. Pulse is also my favorite Pink Floyd album and I feel a musical pulse from this quilt.

Duckie in the Rain - I loved the Duck block pattern when I saw it. So I made that block. Then I built a quilt around it. I used the duck outlines to quilt it. I love this quilt, the duck and the colors. I will sell it sometime down the road. For now I just like looking at it. I has off white fleece on the back.

Mia's Quilt - Strawberry Shortcake theme fabric with Machine embroidery.

Morning Has Broken - This quilt is named after the Cat Stevens song. This is the only quilt I have in a public space, it is hanging in a library.

Nate's Quilt - Baby Nate's room was done in these colors with airplanes the theme. I didn't want to compete with the nursery decor so used this traditional pattern.
