The Sleeping Lady - A client asked for a memory quilt of her time in Alaska. She is in the Air Force so wanted the F-15's. She requested both summer and winter sky and an array of uniquely Alaskan "windows".
Legacy Star - This was the first quilt I made from a kit and really only my second quilt EVER (not counting the smaller wall hangings I've completed) . As I did each block, I learned new techniques. It was a lot of fun and I was very proud of the finished quilt.
Quilting Across the Miles - The blocks were made in duplicates by my Mom and myself. We would then keep one and mail the other to each other. After 6 blocks each, we would complete our individual quilt however we wished. This is how I put mine together. BTW--Mom is in PA and I'm in MN, hence the reason for the title "Quilting Across the Miles".
Catastrophe - This would be the wall hanging I made right before the Legacy Star quilt. This is my second "quilt" I ever made. Please don't look too closely, I didn't do that well with the sashing. I love cats though, so I was happy with the result.
Memories - My father passed away in April of 2006; these are small quilts I made using my Dad's old ties. I made one for each of my three brothers, my Mom, and myself. This picture is of them all together with each "photo" quilt label showing on the back.
Bob's 70th Birthday Quilt - Used blocks associated with the following states: California, Tennessee, Michigan, Missouri, Georgia, and Texas. These states are the birthstates of my husband and me, our children and grandchilgren.
Zwarte Piet (Black Pieter) - I've designed this quilt for a family holyday in the Netherlands thats cauld Sint Nicolaas or in english Saint Nicolaas whe celebrate this feastday on the evening before his birthday for the adaults with something cauld suprisse.

Unnamed - Alternating Dolphins, Turtles and Crabs on a king size bed quilt. Used shades of teal, turquoise, and purple for this bedroom overlooking the sound at the beach. Inspiration came from all the turtles that live in the pond near our townhouse!
Fantasy - It was time to make another quilt. With no real plan, I went through my stach and found a color combination that I thought would make a nice quilt. I designed my own pattern and start to cut and piece. This is the end result. Finished quilt is 79" x 86" ,100% cotton , machine peiced and Hand Quilted.

Water Wonder - Water Lily Pattern. Size: 88" x 100". 100% Cotton. Machine pieced and quilted. Water Lily comprised of all Half-square triangles sewn together to make a 12" square. Framed by a 5" border.
Relay for Life - My daughter needed a raffle quilt for her Relay for Life in Ga. I found the ribbons and the angel ribbons on an embroidery site and adapted them as the theme for the quilt. I tried to use as many color "cancer awarness" ribbons as I could find. The theme relay color was purple so that's why I used that color as the main color. My grandson is 12 and he is also a cancer survivor, so the gold angel with wings was in his honor. I used my embroidery machine for the angels & ribbons and everything else was pieced then quilted
HDS Auction Quilt - An Auction wall hanging to raise money for the Bomb Technicians Memorial Fund. Instructors from the Hazardous Devices School at Redstone Arsenal, Al. donated the slight worn T-shirts for this project. I designed and quilted and donated it for the Auction.
