Keiki Family - The Pattern "Keiki Hula" has little boys and girls in thier swimsuits. I changed the pattern to show me (in the center)...in a dress and my 3 boys and husband on each side of me. I also changed one of the boys...I made him shorter than the rest of us...to represent my youngest...he's only 6. I added extra long shorts on my husband...because that's all he wears.

AJ's Quilt - This is a paper pieced pattern of beach huts, cabanas, palm trees and surfboards. I make it for my oldest son AJ. He hangs it on his wall in his bedroom.

Rainbow Stars - I love stars and bright colors...so this was perfect for me. I took this class at Road to California in 2006.

Patricks cuddle quilt

Come into my garden - Yo Yo flowers, fabric leaves and I spent quite some time at garage sales looking for unique buttons in the form of flowers.

None

None - This was a block lottery with other quilters from Canadian Quilters on Line forum. I was the lucky winner.

Sampler Quilt - Quilting 101 with Quilting with a Passion. Made one block a month so the quilt took more then a year to make.

None - 3D leaves tacked onto the quilt

Gene's Cat House - I adapted the pattern by putting extra space around the cats and drafting foundation patterns for both the cat and the weathervane blocks. I also added cornerstones. I painted buttons for eyes, then stencilled paw prints around the border in gold paint. The quilt was supervised and tested at every stage by Aslan Brennan, my crabby (but lovable) little ginger cat. She even threw up on it a few times, to prove that it's a REAL cat quilt that can be washed. The quilt is called "Gene's Cat House" because my friend Gene's wife Maureen is afraid of cats, so the ones on this quilt are the only ones he'll ever be allowed to have in his house. :)

Catnap for Jackson - Staff at the Centre for Online and Distance Education at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, made this quilt for Greg Holoboff and Chris Holoboff on the birth of their second son, Jackson.

Continental Drift - I made this quilt for my parents-in-law's fiftieth wedding anniversary. The front includes family pictures spanning fifty years. The back includes the couple's marriage certificate and the birth and marriage certificates of all their children and grandchildren. The label consists of a seventeen-stanza limerick outlining the family's history. The quilt is called "Continental Drift" because various members of the family have lived on every continent except South America and Antarctica--so far. :)

Pacific Rhythms - This quilt was made by staff at the Centre for Online and Distance Education at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It was given to Anne Seward and Alphonse Seward to commemorate their marriage in 2004.

Raw Heat - I made this quilt using all the tools I learned in the pilot class for the book "Color and Composition" by Katie Pasquini Masopust and Brett Barker. It is raw edge applique and in warm tones, hence the name, Raw Heat. It is on page 46 of the published book.

All American Baby - This is a baby quilt for my husband's cousin's first baby. The entire family love sports.

Unnamed - Photo makes it look pink but is actually a shade of peach with the greens as the 2 main colors.

Sunset - This was really fun, I learned quite a bit about color and value while making this quilt.
