Almost Mini Blues - I needed to complete a mini quilt for my quilt guild in California. I found this design by Nancy Rogers and loved her use of blues and batiks. I adapted it so it would meet the 12" requirements--or so I thought. I was off enough in my seam allowances that it came out 13" square. :( It worked out in my favor in the end. I made another one for the guild and kept this "almost" mini quilt for myself.

Miranda's Whimsical Triangles - I enjoyed this class by JoAnn Belling in early 2007. It was a fun quilt to make for my new granddaughter. I used brights from my stash with a few extra fabrics to round it out.

Year 2 teachers Quilt - Made for my sons Year 2 teacher. I make a quilt every year for the teacher. Karen wanted Autumn tones. The childrens names are embroidered around the flowers.

Rhapsody in Bloom - Designed while attending Rikki Tim's workshop in Paducah, KY in July, 2007. Thanks, Rikki!

Alex Marshall - Alex, Andrew, Phillip and mom and dad will be traveling back to the Ukraine where they are missionaries. We thought this would be a great gift as the weather is very cold and it is a great way for them to have a few memories of us "here in the USA". I am really proud of our nephews and they wonderful loving attitudes.

Under the Sea - This is our Kindergarten Quilt made in 2006. Under the Sea is our top money maker thanks to a bidding war, it earned $2800 for our PTO! Bright underwater fabric provide the rows between the appliques of submarines and scuba divers each with the picture of the child that colored the object.

Grandma's Stash Quilt - This was made shortly after the Sept. 11th attack in New York. I wanted to make something with an American flag in it, and I liked the "down home" prints found in Grandma Kelso's fabric stash.

Watercolor Heart - I had never attended a quilt class before, and was interested in the process of watercolor designs. Our local quilt shop, Furever Friends, gave the perfect class for me. I enjoyed the process and I get many compliments on this quilt.

Log Cabin Variation Quilt - Even though I have been around quilting most of my life, I decided I wanted to start quilting as my personal hobby. The first book I purchased was "Start Quilting with Alex Anderson." I read the book from beginning to end and made many of the projects she published in that book. Because this block was so easy and fun to make, I made two quilt tops at the same time. The second one I sent to my friend in Japan.

Happy 60th Anniversary! - I made this quilt for my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. Because I wanted to use many pictures, I was not able to find a pattern, so I had to make up the design. It was SO much fun looking through all of the old photo albums and choosing pictures that would depict our life on the farm and throughout to all five girls grown and with families of their own. My sisters and my niece came up before the party to help me tie the quilt, so the gift could be from all of us!

Flying High - I am making this quilt for my new Great Nephew, who will arrive in about a month. I wanted to use bright, fun fabrics to brighten his room. I tried to vary the blocks to create more interest. I made the quilt larger than a standard baby quilt because "Baby Hedlund" will probably be taller like his parents.

Serenety "rocky Point" - Size 86 x86. Made of 100 % cotton . Comprised of 16" squares,with a different Embordiery Design in each square. Framed by a yellow border. Theme taken from my late Grandmothers works. All work on this Quilt has been Hand Embroidered,Hand peiced and Hand Quilted.

Drama Memories - I made this quilt for my nephew from all the t-shirts he accumulated in drama during school.

My First (But Not Last!) Harmonic Convergence - My wonderful SIL sent Ricky's book to me, and I fell in love immediately! I sat down and made this quilt in one day using batiks I had in my stash. It's not blocked yet. Thanks, Ricky, for the inspiration!!!

Wedding Quilt - I used the Baltimore Album Blocks that I started in a class back in 1995 to create a wedding quilt for my son and his wife. I had seen this setting at the Houston Quilt show and found a photo of it in QNL in the "photo finish" page in the December 2005 issue. The inpiration was a quilt made by Bonnie Keller called From Baltimore to Boisfort. Boy, was it challenging to figure out the dimensions and how to put it together with just a photo. I finished the quilt for their first anniversary in 2007.

Dr. Joe's Teeth - I made this wall hanging for my dentist as a thank you for all the yeas he has helped me and taken great care of me.

Keep Quilting - I made this quilt for a drawing at my previous employers as a thank you for there support for my donated leave time. As the leave time was donated I was unable to find out who won the quilt.

My Mary Englebreit - I loved the bright colors of Mary Englebreit so I made this for myself and it's hanging on my quilt rack that my son made for me.
