Mims Dragonfly and Waterlily Quilt - This is a mims kit.

Cattails - I made this wallhanging for my friend's birthday. We both like water gardening so I made this to reflect our interests.

Elephants in memory of Steve Irwin - I bought this panel and was not sure what to do with it, i did not think the general blocks would suit at all, found this pattern on EQ6 and loved it, thought to use the different grass so that the elephants stand out the most.

Tea Cups

Pinwheel - This was the very first quilt top I ever made. I started it in 1989, got frustrated and put it away. Top was finished in 1992, then I started to hand quilt it. After spending 12 years on the quilt frame, without much attention- I decided hand quilting is not for me- I took it off and tore out the stitches. It was long-arm quilted in 2007. Obviously my longest UFO, only 18 years to complete it!

A Quilter's Garden - I did this quilt in a block-of-the-month class at my local quilt shop. The class was back in 2001-2002. I finally finished it in time to give away for Christmas this year.

Quilter's Basket - I used to work at JoAnn's, and have several of their BOMs. This one is actually hanging on my living room wall- I needed something BIG to take up all that space. It is one of the first quilts I completed on the long-arm machine in '06.

Jamacia, no Problem - Bleach discharged on kono cotton...enlarged photographic view of beach from balcony on honeymoon- 20++ anniversary quilt (:

Celebrating 50+years - Photos on fabric -memory quilt for a 50-+ annniversary gift

Trust Me - Sample for a mystery quilt class I taught for my guild. I convinced 16 quilters to "Trust me, you will love this quilt." And they did. Eighteen fat 1/4's, endless setting solutions.

The Queen's Morning Stretch - The guild challenge was to change this block...stretch it, twist it, curve it, whatever. The challenge fabric was the green "tie dye" stripe used for the triangles and border.

Memories of Margaret - I'm sorry but I don't remember the exact name of this quilt block or where I got it. I made it after my aunt passed away. All hearts are made from her old dresses. As always, I became frustrated when trying to quilt it so it is still unfinished. My goal is to complete it in 2008 and give it to her daughter when done.

Fan-Shui - My 4th fan sampler, used to teach a fan series for my local guild. All fan blades fussy-cut from one Hoffman print, the 1999 Hoffman Challenge fabric...bought fabric in 1999, started blocks in 2003, finished in 2004.

Quilt for Kyle - I started this quilt before my 13 yr old son was born. I did his nursery in a Noah's Ark theme and loved the 3 dimensional quality of the blocks. I don't remember where I got the ark block pattern but all of the animals came from the Possibilities T.L.C. book by Toni Phillips and Juanita Simonich. Another project I plan to finally finish in 2008!

Don't Let the Little Things Bug You

Evolution - My first Hoffman Challenge entry. My first paper piecing. Follow the geese "arrows"...you'll see there is no end to this evolutionary cycle. The 3D "rooster tail" geese were a fun experiment.

Amazon Tailspin - Stack, slice & dice the fabric repeats. The skewed setting accentuates the "spinning tail feathers". And the variegated feather quilting contributes to the "tailspin" effect.
