For Baby - These flannel squares were donated to our quild's auction. I found a pattern that would accomadate, only had to buy the backing.
Tink Stars in Purple
Name of Maker: BetsBlues (Grandma)
Tink Stars in Purple - I wanted to attempt triangles and needed to make quilts for my grandchildren's Christmas gifts. This is my second quilt. Purple stars around mixed Tinkerbell (R) fat quarters. Sam has loved Peter Pan and Tinkerbell from the time she could see the TV. She has seen all versions, including a live play just this year. When I found the Tink fat quarters, I knew these were made for her. We love the bright colors and way the pattern laid out to make pinwheels and stars. I used all the scraps to make the border. I think I like the border best of all. And I love my granddaughter and her mommy!

Spidey's Cabin - My 3rd Quilt..... A Christmas gift for my grandson. He loves Spiderman.
Flaming Dragons
Name of Maker: BetsBlues (Grandma Betty)
Flaming Dragons - My 4th quilt..... Another Christmas gift for a grandson. I used printed dragons and blue/orange flames, lightning bolts, waves on water, lava flow, and night sky fabrics. Then backed it with motorcycles with flames. I hoped it would be appropriate for a 9 year old. I was right. He loves it.

The Osmond bag
Name of Maker: Brigitte Van Puyenbroeck
The Osmond bag - I have been an Osmond fan for 34 years now! And I try to go and see them al over the world whenever I can! Last august they celebrated their 50th anniversary in Las Vegas and yes, I did go and see them! It was amazing!!! So, for this special occasion I made myself a patchwork bag wit all my favourite Osmond pictures! I got some great responses from the other fans! Just fantastic! And it's a great travel companion ! The bag did turn out way too big becuase I just couldn't decide which pictures to leave out! I'm so in love with this oversized, cuddly bag I just adore it! Brigitte,Belgium
My Bright Kalidiscope
Name of Maker: Diane Lovitt
My Bright Kalidiscope - This was so much fun to make, and was not as hard to do as it looks. Each enlarging circle made a surprise. I plan to apply the piping as Ricky suggests, and make more.
Black and White and Re(a)d All Over
Name of Maker: Sandra Stephenson
Black and White and Re(a)d All Over - This wall hanging was made for the decoration of the main office of the English department of South Plains College. I had collected fabrics with writing and printing, especially Lonni Rossi prints, and used those plus one print that I made by printing on fabric, and a red print; I was attempting to suggest the way that English instructors use their time, grading a swirl of essays and other papers.
Fonts
Name of Maker: Sandra Stephenson
Fonts - The foundation for this wall hanging is a sandwich of backing, batting, and background fabric, finished pillowcase style. I then layered rectangles of fabric with printing and typeface on the background and secured them with bigstick quilting to suggest the lines of a Big Chief writing tablet. The edges are raw and the ends of some of the quilt threads are hanging, suggestive of the unfinished look of some early manuscripts.
Self-Portrait
Name of Maker: Sandra Stephenson
Self-Portrait - This self-portrait was a response to a challenge in Quilting Arts magazine, based on an article by Yvonne Porcella; it truly was a challenge, forcing me outside of my "comfort zone," a place where I plan to be more and more often.
New Year's Resolutions 2006
Name of Maker: Sandra Stephenson
New Year's Resolutions 2006 - Instead of writing down resolutions for 2006, I made a small wall hanging, including resolutions such as being more creative, locking Frump Girl in the closet, limiting Fat Girl's chocolate consumption, and loving more and better. Although 2006 has come and gone, I still consider this wall hanging to be a work in progress, with more embellishments to come. By the way, I did not keep all my resolutions, especially the one about the chocolate.
Happy Birthday, Linda
Name of Maker: Sandra Stephenson
Happy Birthday, Linda - This is a "birthday card" for Linda McGann, one of my colleagues at South Plains College.
Country Road
Name of Maker: Annis Clapp
Country Road - When my husband went with me to the Dallas Quilt Show last March (his first time at a quilt show) he enjoyed Cynthia England's quilts, so we purchased several patterns. I purchased the fabric kits later and pieced this quilt over Thanksgiving weekend.
2001: A Quilt Odyssey
Name of Maker: Sandra Stephenson
2001: A Quilt Odyssey - When I wanted to make a charm quilt to mark the new millennium, I did not want to collect 2001 fabrics; Sharon Newman remarked that the quilt did not have to have 2001 fabrics, just what I wanted to include. Therefore, this quilt has a piece of every print fabric that I owned, including some fabrics from my maternal grandmother's stash, and some fabrics that were donated by friends, a total of 1124 print fabrics. It took a while to cut the fabrics and decide on the design, so it was not finished until much later. The longarm quilting was beautifully done by Lona Schwab of Midland, TX. This is one of the quilts that I am proudest of, a memorial to quilters in the past, a momento for the future.
