TQS BOM #2 - I love these blocks. When I took my first picture my vase looked like a one-eyed monster (the design in fabric) So I proceeded to add some circles to change the design. After doing this and viewing my finished product - I no longer have to deal with the one-eye monster. Some things just deserve a change! Now I am on to my 3rd block and hopefully will stay on track.

Flower Power - I love flowers. I also love collecting buttons and batik fabric. I reversed machine free-motion quilted this one which means I used the back (flower fabric) as my guidelines.

Mesa Rose - This quilt began as a table runner from a "Simply Quilts" episode. The table runner took on a life of it's own, and after many trips to the fabric store I had a throw that I REALLY liked. I love the colors and how the blocks work together. The points aren't perfect, but I credit this quilt with renewing my quilting enthusiasm.

Dog Dreams - I created this quilt for my dogs to snuggle under. I believe that functional quilts should be used and I do not place any limits on who can use them. I enjoyed making this quilt. The blocks were simple charm squares framed with jelly-roll strips. The dog bone border was made from the scraps. I enjoyed drafting my first original pieced block. The dog bone took a couple of tries, but I finally feel like I got the proportion right.

Robun & Aiko's Shade Cover - Photos of my Shibas were converted to templates. Machine appliqued images to the quilt corners. Quilt cover serves as dog crates' shade cover. Our dogs love quilts.

Double Dozen - This quilt was created through a Saturday Sampler Class at the "Quilted Basket" in Menomonee Falls Wisconsin.

Let's Go Swim - My friends adopted twin baby boys! Their babies' room is a 'Finding Elmo' theme so this quilt design seemed fitting for some years to come.

My Symphony - This quilt was created for a guild challenge. The challenge was to create our own personal symphony. My symphony is my life and all the pieces create a balanced harmony. My spiritual path is at the center. The lessons learned from previous generations including my mother and grandmother are represented at the top, friends, family and their support are represented on the sides, and the love from my husband is represented by the dancing figures on the bottom. I am very blessed to have his support.

Sedona Sunset - Wool batting was used in this quilt & I'm real pleased with the outcome! Custom quilting by Pat Skinner includes 'sun' designs in the crazy quilt blocks.

Winter Crystal Movement - Experiment in color & pattern textures - this worked quite nicely!

Following the Shepherd - My first attempt at machine applique & embellishments, plus a coordinating pillow.

Angel quilt - this is my angels quilt that I have been busy with since 2006 and it is nearly completed just have to put another border around so as to fit my dbed.

Hearts miniature - made this for my perpetual calender and change it every month.
