Pet Parade (Back) - Pieced back (lots of left over fabric) for the Pet Parade Photo quilt done for my brother and sister in law.

seminole maidens - the maidens are machine applique with pieced bear paws between them

Rocky Mountain High - I entered the Marcus Brothers Challenge last year. "Aunt Grace visits the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum". This is my entry called Rocky Mt. High. I won first place for machine quilting and it hung in the museum for 3 months. I should be getting it back soon.

dogwood wreath - I cut out motifs from a dogwood flower print and ironed them onto the backing which happened to match the background color of the print. I zigzagged around the raw edges with invisible monofilament thread and then quilted it in a grid pattern in the center by using masking tape as my guide. I quilted around the motifs and then meandered around the outside.

Watercolor wreath - one inch squares of red rose fabrics on a black bacground, laid out into circle, with smaller parts of the print toward the outside edge. Quilted by machine. Outline quilted in gold lame thread, then quilted in black further with a few rows of outline stitching and then crosshatched in the center. Finally quilted with red thread for the motifs in the corners. I think the motifs may have come from Helen Squire's books.

to the stars with batiks - the stars are batik on a flowered backround

Rattlesnake - The use of select hand dyed fabrics emphisizes this dramatic pattern.

American Flag for "My Girl" - State names embroidered on 50 stars. "My Girl" on front, the lyrics to "My Girl" are machine embroidered on the back. This quilt was made for a friend's granddaughter. I got the idea from a prize winning quilt from a DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) American Memory quilt. I made up the measurements so was surprised that it all come together so well.

Whimsical Kingdom - Aden is the boy in the triples in our family. The babies room is decorated in wild animals so this quilt blends in well.

Whimisical Kingdom Family Pets - This quilt was made for my grandson Eligh. His parents love their pets so I made the theme family pets.

Paper Dolls - Our son and his wife had triplets; two girls and a boy. I made the two girls, what I call, paper doll quilts. Both quilts are alike except for more lavender in Graces quilt.

Paper Dolls - This is the other triple's; Ellie's, quilt.

Pride and Joy - This original quilt was donated to the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford VA.

Bruised Oranges - I modified the classic orange peel block to make it ragged. This is a baby blanket made as a test before I tried a King for my sister.. didn't know if it would really work.

This is the first quilt that I made that was not "quilt as you go".

I enjoyed making flannel rag quilts that I made 3 in a row. This is the 2nd one I made.

Surfer Girl Challenge quilt - My quilt club had a challenge where we were each given a small paper lunch bag with an assortment of fabrics. There were flannel, cotton, woven, canvas, minkee and various prom dress fabrics. It was a fun challenge trying to come up with something. I used my love of surfing as my inspiration.
