Daisy Basket - I saw this pattern in APQ Magazine in 2006. I knew right away the perfect fabric I wanted to use from my stash. The fabric for the flower petals were scraps from the flower girl dresses my mom made for my wedding!

Geese Behind Bars - This quilt was done during a Quilting Retreat in Linden Alberta. I used free-hand machine quilting in multiple rainbow colours on the front and nylon filament on the back

Mom & Dad's Christmas Quilt

Fantasy Table - I followed the pattern using my own fabrics. I varied some of the design and used many embellishments , such as, silk flowers, buttons, beads and stamping. I also altered the border by inserting patchwork. I really stretched myself with the machine quilting.

Fall Placemat - These placemats are quilt as you go, then the applique is based on Edyta Sitar's Fall memories. I did a piped binding based on Ricky Tims' method. I love using this binding, and the quilt as you go makes this a really quick placemat series.

Mayan Medley - This was my first try at making a quilt without using a pattern. I let the fabric guide me and tried to stay out of the way of the beautiful Guatamalan cotton.

80th Birthday/Signature quilt - King size and all done in Batiks. The backing is a signature quilt signed by guests at my Dad's 80th birthday. He uses the back of he quilt as the top side. He loves seeing the names of family & friends.

80th Birthday/Signature quilt Backing - This is the backing of my Dad's 80th Birthday quilt which he likes to use as the right side.

Amanda's Dream - I used Tea dyed muslin and scraps from my stash - my niece Amanda saw it and had to have it!

Karin's First Sampler - This was my first quilt. It is made up of 12 blocks, some were hand pieced and some pieced by machine. I hand quilted it and I still love this quilt.

Bluegrass - My first original art quilt. I used strip piecing with split and insert strips. Embellished with Schwarvoski crystals.

Mom and Dad's 50th Anniversary Quilt - I loved making this quilt with the Quiltsmart interfacing! It turned out beautiful and nobody knows my secret that this is a very easy way to make a DRW!

S. Virginia's Cross Quilt - This is my 4th cross quilt! It is beautifully displayed in her home and the others' are displayed at my church or my home, our school's chapel and another auntie's home.

Nana's Apron Strings - approx 24" x 26" wallhanging of 4 aprons. Fusible applique, my grandmothers buttons, old faded rickrack for strings. Sleeve on back. Quilted in red thread.

The Cosmos of My Mind - Based on Ricky's harmonic convergence and Libby Lehman's thread play and satin stitching techniques. Won Best in Color and Design and 1st in Small Innovative at 2006 CQC show

Tumbling Ribbons - The threadplay ribbons go in and out through the holes in the blocks. At each bend in each ribbon I changed the color of the thread

Circle of Bluhms - This wholecloth method has been taught by Irena, Bluhm of Little Elm, Texas. I was a member of her first class of students in 2006. At the end of the class, she gave us this original pattern and gave us permission to use it, change it up, but keep in touch. I changed it only slight - the center. First step is to stitch the design in green thread, then heavy fill-in quilting is completed in white. After the quilt has been washed, blocked, steamed and bound, it is embellished with color and a fabric medium to seal the color. It has won a second place at the Professional Long Arm Guild Quilt Show in 2006 (guild founded by Linda V. Taylor) and a first place at my local quilt show - Red River Quilters, Shreveport, LA.
