Katie's ABC's - Alternating blocks are cut from an ABC panel set together with pieced hourglass blocks. Quilt was made for my granddaughter, Katie - when quilted it will go live with her in Lexington, KY.

2007 Christmas Quilt - Center of quilt is a small panel with printed borders and pieced stars in the corners. Fabric is from the Santa's Got the Goods collection by Diane Knott for Clothworks. Pattern is available on Clothworks' website.

Autumn Comes Round - Autumn Comes Round is machine pieced, machine appliqued and machine quilted. The border is free motion quilted to suggest swirling wind blown leaves and the lines are emphasized with sashiko stitching.

John's T Shirts - John's rowing and music T shirts came together to decorate his dorm room and keep him warm when he's away from home.

Matt's Quillow - Matt has lived in three states, so I used State Blocks from Barbara Brackman's Book and selected several from each of Florida, Arizona and Connecticut. This quilt folds up into the pillow, hence quillow.

Emma's Quillow Top - This is the pillow top for a quillow I made for my niece. She asked for a gold palm tree, as she's from the windy city and loves visiting her Fla family.

Stars for Claire - My orig. design was inappropriately copied by someone who had access to my quilt. Had to resort to legal channels to make the person stop selling their pattern of it! A lesson learned about some people’s lack of ethics and about copyright law! This was a gift to my DD for her 3rd birthday and her first big girl bed.

Cayden's Baby Quilt - I made this quilt for Cayden, our first great-grandson. The teddy bear fabric was a remnant from a quilt I made for Cayden's mom (our granddaughter) when she was a baby.

Allison and Michael's Wedding Quilt - I adapted this pattern from the book, Quick and Easy Quiltmaking. I let Allison and Michael look thru all my books and they did and decided on Water Music as a pattern for their wedding quilt. I didn't let them see the fabric however or the quilt until after they got home from their honeymoon. I think they were pleased.

Memories of the Caribbean - The bird square in the center is an original design by my daughter-in-law, Laura Dean. The pieced top still needs to be machine quilted. This quilt will be the focal point of my guest room (which is still a work in progress).

Caitie's Graduation Quilt - I designed this quilt for Caitie's high school graduation on EQ5. She went with me to the quilt store to select the fabric. It didn't take long to piece and I machine quilted it in an all-over stars and loops while I still had my long arm. I have since sold it.

Midnight Star - I took a class at my local quilt store and this quilt was the result. I love the way it turned out. I don't use black very often so this was a real switch for me. The quilt itself was very easy to do. It was one of those stack and whack quilts!!

Sunset - Hand dyed and commercial batiks. thread painted

Tina's Surprise

Hand painted Southwestern queen - - I hand painted this quilt and donated it to the Strathmore Alberta Crisis Shelter- I was raffled and helped cover the costs of the new playground in their new shelter-

Scottie Dogs - Scottie dogs are appliqued with blanket stitch around each dog. There are multiple colors of fabric surrounding each block. The quilt was quilted on my Home Quilt frame and Viking MEga quilter. This was made for my dear friend who has a Scottie dog named "Duncan". On the dog with the yellow jacket I embroidered "Duncan".

Tesoro della Toscana (Tuscany Treasure) - Mini quilt inspired by the pattern by Karen Eckmeier. Slightly larger than the pattern, the house is hand appliqued, trees are raw edge machine applique. Machine quilted.
