Happy 60th! - What a great way to make a lovely quilt- no fretting over the design at all. Once I'd chosed the fabric, the rest was easy. .. and the quilt turned out amazingly! I made it for my sister, who is also a quilter. She does not have a single quilt that she has made for herself, she gives them all away. It was her 60th birthday, so we flew into Ls Vegas from opposite sides of the country. we met at the airport, and I was so excited i gave it to her right there!

Lavender Blue - Bed quilt 89" x 89". Used patterns from Jacobean Applique, Books 1 & 2 by Patricia B. Campbell and Mimi Ayers, PhD. Plaids, metallics and variety of bright pastels used on mottled background fabric in peri-winkle. Sashing adapted from pattern on EQ5 computer program

singapore laundry - This quilt is made by me after we lived for 5 years in Singapore. When you visit you will see that the laundry is always hanging out of the window to dry. This for me feels like that the heavy sky not sun shine but heavy with clouds the poles with the dresses. I dyed the background and asked my mom for some dress material and appliqued it the ples are sprigs from a Malaysian broom The quilt hangs in my house Mariet

hawai 7 - My 7th Hawaian quilt. I love the fabric and the way it makes your eye go from left to right over the quilt.I love Hawaian quilts and this is nr 7 in the row. I still have nr 1 and this one the rest is sold. Mariet

poppie 2 - This is poppie 2 I started it as a pieced quilt added the butterflies and the wanted to tread paint a poppy on the quilt. It took a lot of guts because this was the first time for me to do this. I designed the poppy and made a drawing and started but realised soon that the rest of the quilt needed heavy quilting too. The result is great I think. It took some work but I did it Mariet

Summer Memories - I wanted to capture two memories in this Journal Quilt from this summer. The first memory was my daughter and my attendance in La Veta, CO at the taping of The Quilt Show. The guest for that show was Jean Wells, who shared her techniques from her new book "Portraits of Nature". The second memory was from my morning walks - lots of beautiful flowers along the way on my ~2 mile walk! I appreciate the rich colors of these flowers and their brilliance and stregnth at dawn!

Pink Sunbonnet Sue - Painted Sunbonnet Sue blocks purchased by my Grandmother and quilted by my Great Aunt Elsie and her Church Ladies. This quilt was on my bed for a few years while growing up.

shiny star - I did this when I took my first PP class. I am not sure of the name of this pattern or what book it came from.

My sewing tools - I found this design in EQ5. I took them to make this little mini wall hanger.

3 Little Angels - I made this for a friend of mine who wanted a pillow of her grand-daughters. Made with bubble jet and my old epson printer.

Mom's Quilt - I made this quilt because I loved the pattern - but when it was finished it reminded me of my Mom, so decided to give it to her. She has a sunny disposition and loves flowers so the quilt was a perfect fit with her personality!. I think she will be able to use it one or two days per year in Mesa, AZ! Great pattern! This quilt went together quickly!

JDs North American Bear Paw - This interesting design swirls and interlocks in a complex way that reminds me of our son John, a complex, sometimes hidden, sometimes revealing personality that is always fascinating. We love you JD!

Maine woods - I used mostly blocks from the North Woods collection but switched a couple of blocks from other McKenna Ryan patterns to make it more like Maine woods.

Hugs and Kisses for Oliver - Baby quilt made with blue and green 1930's fabric

Yellow and Blue for You - Block of the Month sampler from Joann's. I did the setting differently.

Blue Limeaid - One quilt is a series using 5 very basic templates

Lacee's Ruby Wedding Ring - I had six weeks to make this - yikes! I got it done in three, lots of things I could have/would have done differently if I had more time. Designed in EQ6, machine pieced and quilted on my Pfaff 2040.

Heron Pond - I got a new Bernina 730 & wanted to test the BSR - it is fantastic! You can see the accuracy of the stitches in the free motion leaves surrounding the pond and outlining the leaves in the border. This started as a kit, got swapped mostly for fabrics in my stash, and was enhanced with extra machine quilting. Also added decorative stitches to attach binding and was pleased with results. Love that BSR!
