AJ 's Quilt - When I saw this fabric advertised in a magazine I knew I had to make this quilt for my grandson. It was his first year with the marching band at his high school. They are the Golden Bears, hence the bear paw pattern!
Blue and Yellow Stars - I have always wanted a blue and yellow quilt--so when our group, Blockwatchers, at my LQS decided to make a Lemoyne Star quilt, I had to do it in blue and yellow. I hope to enter it in my local quild quilt show in 2008!
Mick's 25th birthday - Mick, my daughter's boyfriend, was drawn to red and black fabric in a quilt shop in Portland when I visited in March. I wanted him to have something to look at while studying at Chiropractic School. How could I not make him something; he went with us hopping from shop to shop.
My First Quilt - Being a new quilter at the time, I didn't think twice about starting a queen size quilt!! Took me a while but it was worth it. I even tried to quilt it on my home machine--it didn't take very long for me to realize that I was fighting a losing battle : _ ) It ended up quilted by a longarm quilter!! It now lives on our bed!

Arabesque Garden - I took this class from Martine House at www.quiltuniversity.com. It is my first experience with hand quilting. It is hand appliqued and embroidered and embellised with shi sha mirrors and heat set crystals. I like machine quilting so much better. Currenty on tour with the Hoffman Challenge.

Cute Kitty Quilt - Fussy cute kitties from a panel that is pieced and sashed with bright unexpected colors make this child's quilt fun. It is a gift to a friend's 16 month old baby who is recently diagnosed with cancer. Hopefully this quilt will brighten day!
The Buckeye Beauty - Made with several charm packs from the 2006 Moda fall collection and a stash of neutrals this was a fun and easy quilt. The quilting is done with by several styles, a freehand stitch regulator on my Bernina and quilting designs on the embroidery module, then the rest was done on a Brother using old fashioned free style quilting. Too bad the photos can't show the quilting.
Hudson's Quilt - This quilt will go to my new nephew when he's born. It uses Karla Alexander's method of stacking, cutting, and shuffling. All the fabrics are batiks or hand-dyes.
