Macaroni Necklace - My sister and I worked long distance on this quilt for our parents' 40th anniversary. It is full of mistakes, but the parents HAVE to use it - thus the name.
The Accidental Quilt - I started to sort color scraps into plastic bags.. I remembered about this pattern and somehow found myself sewing.. I found it hard not to want to keep the blocks squared at each level. This went fast and was fun to see the outcome.
The Leopard Sleeps Tonight - Guild Challenge. The challenge fabric is the leopard. This is my first attempt at original design. The zebras were cut from a batik. They reminded me of ghost zebras, and the idea was born.
Sail Away - Guild Challenge Quilt. Started with center block, then each month challenge was to add border with specific requirement...triangle, stripe, square, paper piecing. Quilt evolved as we went on. I added two plain fabric borders to give some separation. This project was early in my quilting career, and was a great learning experience.
Jack's Retirement Quilt - Purchased kit in late 80's or early 90's. Top made, but never completed. Finished quilt for brother-in-law's retirement. I believe the kit was named "grandpa's favorite".
Shyrle's Quilt - Shyrle was my son's piano teaher for 13 years and this was made to present her at the senior recital. The circles contain images of several of the pieces my son played at recitals thru the years. The borders were made of music novelty fabrics.
All Things Christmas - A beautiful CHristmas quilt designed by Anne Sutton. It was fun to make and I love the piecing in the blocks as well as the applique.
