Wonky Buggies - I was inspired by the fabric "Doodle Bugs" by __________. The centers of the wonky log cabins are fussy cut fanciful lady bugs, caterpillars, dragon flies, butterflies, etc. The cabins are brights and lights and purposefully pieced out of square. The border is strip pieced. This was a fun one to make.
Mika's Star - I made this for Mika, our friend who just graduated from the University of North Alabama. She is from Japan and will be returning there next week. We will miss her and hope to see her again someday.
King Lear - "King Lear" is from a photo of my brother protraying King Lear in a Shakespeare play sometime in the 1980's. The original photo is in blacks, browns and flesh tones.
Myrtle the Prong Horn Atelope - Myrtle was taken from a picture of a actual Prong Horn Atelope mounted on the wall of a friend. I took the picture with the premission of Dale H.

Yule Logs - After completing 4 blocks, and sewed them together, I embroidered designs in the white section. The embroidery designs are from Advanced Embroidery Designs, and Joyce Drexler's Angels. The border is made of blocks with embroidery in each.
Rhonda's quilt - My daughter loved this fabric and saw a quilt similar to it in a quilt shop . She asked me if I could make one like it. So I made this only on what I remembered the quilt to look like. I quilted the large flowers individually and the blocks were stitched in the ditch with a cross through the middle. She loves it. This was one of my first quilts.
Name of Maker: Linda Hinesley (maternal grandmother)
Angela's Quilt - Quilt was made following a class where you would buy the first block pattern and material ($7.95)...then if you had it done by the next Saturday, you would receive the next block and material FREE...continuing for 12 weeks...result the complete top costing only the cost of one unit. I really enjoyed doing this and it was a perfect gift for a wedding shower.
Joe's Memory Quilt - "Joe's Memory Quilt" was designed and made for a dear friend, JoAnn. I wanted her to have something she could use to wrap herself in comfort and memories when "those times" came. I didn't have a lot of Joe's clothing to work with, so a redish top of JoAnn's was used as well. This addition did not take away from the quilts' masculine quality. I like the poetry of adding something personal of the surviving spouse, so I will incorporate this into future designs.
Sweet Dreams - I made this quilt after we lost our Golden Retriever, Shelby. I named the quilt Sweet Dreams and put on the label, "Our love for you never ends"
