Jennifer's Wedding Quilt - My niece was getting married and her favorite colors were red and black. I love that combination too and thought the pattern I saw in a magazine would be perfect. It's based upon the Court House Steps.

Makala - This is my friend's first sonogram of her first baby. I gave it to her as a present at her baby shower. Makala is now 7 weeks old and beautiful!

Baltimore Album - Mini Baltimore Album -- each block is 4"

BCCA Raffle Quilt 2004 - Raffle quilt made for the 2004 Bearded Collie Specialty held in Ft. Collins, CO. Patterns by Linda Hibbert Floral fabric is the state flower of Colorado.

Civil War Stars - I took a Lone Star class earlier this year and made the center block. The rest was up to us. I had seen a photo somewhere of a Lone Star surrounded by log cabin blocks so I decided to try that and from there I wanted more stars so I came up with the outer border. It won a People's Choice Award at a quilt show back in April - I was quite flattered! The fabrics are all from Judy Rothermel's Civil War Classics line and some from her Civil War Backgrounds. Our exchange student really liked this one so it is going home with him to France.

Dresden Plate - Made for the wedding of a delightful niece and a neat guy.

The Red Door - I made this quilt from an enlarged photo I took of a cottage in Ireland. I made it for an architextural challenge.

Caribbean Quilt - I quilted this wallhanging from a photograph I took while sailing in the Caribbean.

Wisteria - This quilt was designed for a coworker on her retirement. She had recently had a trellis installed and planted wisteria. She plans on spending her time gardening.

Letting Go - My first attempt at hand applique and hand quilting - so I did a journal quilt expressing the letting go of some expectations I realized I had on my children. :)

My Idea of a Pastel Baby Quilt - Applique traced onto freezer paper, ironed to fabric, cut out, then turn seam allowance, glue to back of the freezer paper (nonsticky side). Pin applique to b&w fabric over novelty fabric so its raw edges are covered by applique. Gently rinse to release glue, slit back side and pull out freezer paper with tweezers.

Every Bunny Loves Some Bunny Sometime - Applique bunny outlined in blanket stitch. Quilting was done over tracing paper. 100% cotton throughout. Eyes and noses were hand embroidered with embroidery floss. I loved this quilt so much it was difficult to give away. Auctioned to benefit West Bonner County Library.

50th anniversary signature quilt - made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of my parents, the quilt top was presented as a surprise for my parents at their anniversary celebration. There are over 400 signatures including one from the college professor in whose class they met! Some signature blocks tell stories, or have the family brand as our family was part of a community of 4 and 5 generation ranchers in New MExico.

Birds in the Air - Started at a retreat by Debbie Caffrey where she taught this great method for making half square triangles. to her credit, the method is not only quick and easy, my quilt was only 1/4 inch out of square when measuring for borders!
