Hula Shirts - I made this quilt for a co-worker who always wears hula shirts to work. It's not done yet, I'm still in the process of quilting it. I put one of the squares turned side ways, just for the fun of it. can you see it ?
Twelve Month Quilt - This was a fun quilt to make. My 12 inch squares aren't 12 inches. some are bigger, some are smaller. I made this from scraps out of my bin, just kept digging in there to fine the right fabric. I have this on the bed in our guest room. The guest love it!!
Underground Railroad - This is my ALL TIME favorite quilt.... I made this when I was just learning to quilt. It was a little over my head, but I got better and learned so much about myself and the wonderful art of quilting. I used civil war reproductions.. JUST love this quilt !!!
Turning 20 - At my old job, I was able to teach staff and some of the clients to quilt. It was great fun. When I changed jobs, this was given to me as a going away gift. I had no idea it was for me. I helped cut it out and did some sewing on it. I was told it was for a cousin out of state. I was so surprised when it was presented to me... I treasure it !!!!
