Kate and Kyle's wedding quilt - I made this king sized quilt as a wedding gift for my daughter and son-in-law

My brother's 50th birthday quilt - I made this Texas themed quilt for my brother's 50th birthday

Pillars of Faith - This quilt will eventually go to my daughter after it is in our guild quilt show next April.

Pineapples - Paper-pieced pineapple blocks, 3 inch finished block size.

Ehrnst Rhapsody - I made this Rhapsody quilt for my dear in-laws' 60th anniversary. Colors were inspired by a bouquet that they loved, but the secret of the quilt is in the medallion---it is their last name "Ehrnst", mirrored and repeated. For the quilting, Superior Bottom Line and 100 weight silk threads were used. It was the first time I tried quilting feathers.

Air Plane - I found this sample block with my Granny's quilt patterns and samples, which came to me when she no longer needed them. I had never seen this pattern but was able to find it in Carrie A Hall's "The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America". My son, who pilot's antique planes was taken by the pattern so I decided to do a similar quilt for him.

Aeroplane Wall Hanging - I couldn't find a PP pattern for the plane in Granny's block so I chose to use this one. I added the "Wild Blue Yonder" border with pinwheels to represent propellers.

ABC's for Mrs. Capps - A quilt for my DIL who is a kindergarten teacher. She needed to show the alphabet in five different places in her classroom and wanted a quilt for the "story chair". She picked all the material.

Wagon Wheel - This quilt was made as part of the Grab Bag 2008 Quilt Challenge, hosted by Tomme Fent. This quilt is hand-pieced, hand-appliquéd, and machine quilted and has the feeling of a fanciful well-traveled wagon. This year there were over 50 participants and photos of all of the Grab Bags, the completed quilts, and the artists’ statements were collected on a CD that is being sold to benefit Fiberart For A Cause. ( http://www.virginiaspiegel.com/NewFiles/ACSFundraiser.html ) A grab bag is a plastic bag filled with fabrics, fibers, embellishments, found objects, etc. – whatever the person sending would like to see in their quilt. The plastic bag must fit inside a Priority Mail flat-rate envelope, which was then mailed to Ms. Fent. She sent a Grab Bag to each of the participants who based on the content of the bag created a quilt. The maker did not know to whom the quilt they were creating would belong.

Circles - Class by teacher, Shirley Stutz

Stars Stars Stars - I started this quilt two years ago in a class taught by Shirley Stutz. I finished it this June and gave it to a friend as a retirement gift.

Sugar and Spice - Focus fabric squares - adorable angels - alternate with modified Rail Fence blocks, creating "framed" motifs. Made for my husband's great-niece, who was named for both her great-grandmothers.

Berkshire Blues - Two neighbours - the single dad with 3 kids and single mom with 3 kids - fell in love and married last summer. We made this king-size quilt for their wedding, named after the street where it all began ! There are at least 50 different blue fabrics (I lost count after awhile)

Celtic Morning - This is my latest quilt.

Don't be a couch potato! - Traditional pattern made with fruits and vegetable fabrics as a prize for an employee health fair.

Nobody's perfect (Spot the error!!) - I put this up as a background for my computer - and then the error became obvious! OF COURSE I fixed it!! (... or it could have been named "This side to the Wall"). w.i.p.

Raindrops on Hostas - I used Beth Wheeler's technique to create this quilt. The photo was taken by my friend Rose. I added tiny (1.9 mm) flat-backed Swarovski crystals to some of the raindrops to make them glisten.

Northern Lights - Made of 25 darks, 25 lights and 25 pinks for my guild's Black White and One Other Color challenge.
