Emily's Christmas 2007 quilt - I am learning to quilt and these are my first bed size (twin) quilts I have done for my great neices. I used Quilt Wizard software and put this design together. My local quilt shop, Quilt Patch, in Eugene Oregon helped me pick the fabric. Bless them :-)

Cancer is just the thorn on my roses - My dil is in a recurrance of breast cancer at the age of 30 and mother of my 4 grandsons - 10,6,5 and 19 months. This quilt is a reminder to her that she's still a beautiful person and cancer is the thorn.
Samantha's Christmas 2007 Quilt - I embroidered the Princess Teddies and Girls Stuff (from Nita's Place), then put borders around each block, with simple stitch in the ditch around the blocks and outlined around each embroidered design.
Ryan's Christmas 2007 Quilt - I used Fire Dept designs collected from the internet to embroider the blocks. Then added the borders and stitched in the ditch and outlined the embroideries.
Scrappy Fall Sampler - I had a thing for Samplers and bought several kits. This one actually got completed....almost...still doesn't have the binding finished but it got included on 'picture day'. Has Hobbs Heirloom wool batting & 1 piece back.
Jaden's Christmas 2007 Quilt - Embroidered frogs are from Artistic Threadworks. Used EQ6 to draw the quilt, most quilting is stitch in the ditch but got a little braver this time using my new BSR to stipple quilt some of the colored squares.
Nana's Original - This quilt has flowered fabrics in pastels and pink, green and yellow chenille. The
very bottom has prairie points made from the flowered pastels.
African Equator - I made the quilt for an international contest at Aschaffenburg (Germany) that was held during September 28-30 2007. The theme for the contest was “Colors of Africa”. The ideas behind my design are the following: The colors of Africa are the colors of a continent that is divided in two by the equator. The colors are under the influence of this division. The face of Africa is also divided in two.
I am very happy to tell you I won the first place prize with this quilt, a Bernina 440QE!

Circle Play - Square blocks are made up of two, three or four triangles with different
flowered fabric. In the center is a circle with embroidery stitches around the
edges. I made drapes with jabos with the dominant fabric.The main
fabric is from Vienna Nights by Moda
Handkerchief Quilt - My inspiration for this quilt were the handkerchiefs that belonged to my Mother.
I also collected a few other vintage handkerchiefs and let my mind to the
rest. I loved making this quilt.
Elegant Sue - My Mother made a "Dutch Doll" quilt out of my little dresses when I was a small child.
I traced over the pattern in the quilt and used my own idea as to how to dress each
girl. I used heart material for their skits and solids for the other accessories. I used
machine embrodiery and other types of embellishments
