Papi's Wish - This quilt was made originally as a throw/ Lap size. When I first presented the top to my dad, he enjoyed to see my WIP's, he requested that it be twin sized for his bed. My dad was a strong man whose health deteriorated quickly along with his ability to walk, which was why I had began it as a Lap size. However, as many quilters face the challenge of not having enough fabric on hand to make an entirely second quilt top from the same design. I added the rails on either end to give it length. This quilt is resting with my father in his final resting place. He never got to rest under it when he was here. I finished quilting it during his final stay at the hospital.

Logs for Chris - This is a blue and brown log cabin for my husband, Chris. It is split with gorgeous yellow farmyard fabric and Donna has quilted it with "choocks" or chickens.

Leslie's Quilt

Jamie's Bears in the Woods - Made a quilt for my husband

Many Loves, One True Love - I cut 10 inch blocks of numerous purple material, then stacked them in a layer of 4. I made 4 cuts and rotated the pieces off the top to the back and sewed them together, making sure no two same pieces were in the block. Then appliqued hearts onto each block. All hearts were done in shades of yellow, except one, a red rose material. I sewed in tea/green sashing in between the blocks. Then added a crimson red boarder and black sashing. I made this for my wonderful husband.

Sophia's pink log cabin - I was asked to make a quilt for a co-workers 2 year old niece. She wanted pretty little girl colors. I made 3 shades of pink and repetitive purple strips for the opposing side. I embroidered her name in 3 inch letters across the top of the quilt and made a label for the back of the quilt with name, date, etc. I think this little girl will like it. I quilted it on my Nolting long arm quilting machine in a gentle stippling all over the quilt.

Star Crazy

A Quilter's Grand - I used all Thimbleberries fabric when I made this quilt. It was my first time doing applique and using satin stitch..

Mythical Horses - This is a design by Laurel Burch and fabric used was from her line "Brights". I used metallics to enhance the mains of the horses and outlined all the horses in the centre panel. I sewed "running horses " in the outside borders - top & bottom using BSR foot.

Charmed Summer Quilt - This is a king sized quilt using all blue and yellow fat quarters collected over 2 years time.

Piecemaking Basics Quilt: Sampler Quilt - First time ever quilting. Took a class to learn the techniques used in Alex Anderson's book. Used an Oriental theme for this lap quilt.

Sedona Pinwheels - My second quilt, done via a kit. Love the pattern and material but the quilt was nothing but trouble.

Old time Hankies - Use of old family hankies and doilies that were handed down several generations. Hankies that were plain with lace edging doily flowers were added.

Circle Dance Quilt - First time using curve templates and had fun piecing the sections together to create the design.

Playing Around the Edges - Easy quilt with minimual piecing but lots of fun to do with a main panel design.

Chocolate Strawberries - This is a quilt dated from approximately 1890. I bought this quilt and it has some material deteroriation in some of the brown patches. I love this quilt and want to attempt to restore some of the patches but have not yet been successful in recreating this fabric to my satisfaction. I love the pink fabrics in this quilt there are some really cool double pinks.

Toad's Quilt - This is the 2nd quilt I ever made. I made it for my husband and it nearly did me in! It is machine quilted in Toad's because that is my husband's nickname.

The old house - This was a top I purchased. It was foundation pieced on still had the material on the back. It was not paper but material. I left that intact. I set the quilt with a black backing and binding. I tied it because it was too heavy for hand quilting and it seem to fit this quilt very well.
