Spring Flowers - I brought this kit with me to Afghanistan and made it for my self to brighten up my otherwise dark room.

Obbie's Birthday - I made this for my good friend Robb for his birthday. We are stationed together in Afghanistan

Fireworks for Fran - Made in patriotic colors for Fran's 94th birthday July 3. Back is flannel to be cuddly. Blocks are quilted with silver metallic fireworks. Stippling has occasional stars.

Ryan's Graduation Present - Made with blue chimneys since that is Ryan's favorite color and included a matching pillow. Quilted all over since I am getting better with my free motion. Embroidered accents in border are computer logos since that is his main focus. Back is black and white pattern flannel.

Baby quilt - My husbands grandmother made this quilt for him in 1946.

Flower Baskets - This was a gift over 30 years ago. It was the first quilt I owned.

Unsure - My grandmother and her two sister each received a quilt top when they married. She would be 110 today. She never finished the quilt.The quilt has shirt pieces that look like blood is on them and some VERY small pieced areas. I got the quilt about 20 years ago and added the finished edge and a small border. Since it is only basted (I did not know how to finish it) I left it as was. I feel it is not meant to be put on a bed or used.

Flying Geese - Aunt Emma made the top and I had it quilted a couple of years ago.

Pinwheel - This was a gift from my mother in law. As far as I can tell it was never used.

Meet me in Paris - This is my baby. The edge is scalloped and since it is my first quilt ever I am happy with it. I has many many pieces and was a challange to make it perfect. Beautiful up close.

Pine Burr - The Pine Burr is a traditional pattern dating back to the early 1900s.

Sweet Spring - The Quilters' Haven quilt shop in Bethlehem, PA, had a block of the month in 2006 using Marti Mitchell's Anniversary Waltz. I expanded the 12 blocks to 20 by repeating blocks using different color placement. The resulting quilt was a gift to my mother.

William caught fishies! - When Alex introduced this quilt I just knew it had to be for my son-in-law, William. Since we needed to have our quilts done this October, I knew it would make the perfect present. My vision is still not complete for this quilt, I have my daughter sending me pictures of the family fishing in the lake behind their house in Arizona and fishing pictures from their home in Kentucky, I am going to quilt postcards of the pictures and one of a cactus, to applique near the water. I will be giving a real fishing pole to William to hang his quilt from, the line the fish are hanging from will have a loop to go around pole. This has been a fun project!

Diamonds and Arrowheads - This is an old pattern called Flat Iron dating back to the late 1800s. My quilt is adapted from a pattern in the book, "Trouble Free Triangles" by Gayle Bong. This quilt was pictured in the June 2007 edition of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine.

Windmills in my garden - I made this quilt after making the circle of life and so liked the corner blocks as they reminded me of windmills and at the time the village that I live were having some wind turbines built and so this quilt evolved

Western ABC's - I used Athletic ABC's in my computer software for my embroidery machine and made the ABC's. I then used purchased designs for the cowboys and cowgirls and embroidered them. I placed the fabric and designs as desired and sewed them together to make a baby blanket or wall hanging.

Scarlet Flower Power - Queen size quilt made in 9 different colorways each assembled two different ways to make a "light" block and a "dark" block. 9 friends selected fabric groups & then exchanged fabric strips in order to get the variety. Each friend then selected their own preference for sashing and borders to complete unique their own unique quilt.
