Picturesque - Quilt was designed for Asian Fabrics Magazine, issue #10. All Kona Bay fabrics, 100# YLI silk for machine quilting on Bernina Artista 200. I love metallic fabrics!

Embroidered Sawtooth Star Runner - Center designs are embroidered and the stars are dimensional. Quilt is machine quilted on a Bernina Artista 200.

Minnesota Hot Dish Challenge Quilt - I had to use challenge fabrics and two of my own. I used raw-edge applique to add interest to the center of the block.

Deloris's Comfort Quilt - This quilt was given to Deloris Jobe as a community comfort quilt from Westcliffe Contempary Quilters and Fabric Artists. I designed and constructed the quilt and her daughter quilted. Our club makes quilts for the people of Custer County that have had major illnesses accidents or death in their families.

Leaf Quilt

Garden Window - Made by my Daughter (Bluebird1) for my bed.

Akemi - I saw a 'Kimono Doll' quilt and then drew my own foundation pieced block. I later found the original published in an old issue of Quiltmaker magazine. Mine is similar, but different in size and proportion. I redrew the block in EQ6 for this quilt.

Stellar Nursery - This quilt is inspired by a NASA photo called Mountains of Creation, which lies at the eastern edge of the giant stellar nursery W5, about 7000 light years from the constellation Cassiopeia. I blogged the making of this quilt in TQS Member Blogs under "The Great Gas Cloud Adventure" series of 7 blogs, if you want to read them. Accepted into the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival 2010 exhibit/contest.

Zoo rag quilt

Baby Rag Quilt

Sacred oceans - I made this quilt for Fr Ron who is celebrating 40 years in the priesthood this weekend. He has been with our parish for over 20 years. I used 5" charm squares cut down to 4.5" and added 1.5" borders in blue/grey, tan and brown. The label has a photo of Ron when he was at school and the prayer of St Francis of Assisi. His favourite prayer and song.

New York Beauty - Wonderful quilt pattern by Mabeth Oxenreider using paper pieced foundation.

Patriotic Exploding Star - This quilt was truly a labor of love and focus. It required focus on one block at a time. My goal was to make one block per day. With each block requiring 49 half square triangles all made to make a total pattern it really made me more focused not to make a mistake or turn one wrong.

Drunkard Cats - Laurel Birch cat fabric combined with solids to make the drunkard path blocks

The Mini Job - Reproduction of the famous car chase on top of the Fiat building in 1962 film " The Italian Job ". I digitised the image using Turbocad for continuous line quilting then coloured the quilt using Derwent Inktense pencils.
