NZ Landscape - Landscape quilt based on patterns in Valerie's book

Symphony In Red

Madam Butterfly

The Hen House

Angels in the Snow - This quilt was my first wholecloth quilt. I loved making it, even when I decided to change the thread color and had to remove about 1/4 of the stitching! Now I make samples! What a great idea. This quilt brought back memories of my childhood days when my family would play in the sparkling snow and then in the morning the angels were all over the yard. I loved those days.

Leftovers Again? - I had a ton of leftover fabric from a previous quilt that was in fall colors with tumbling leaves. I started making half squares, then used the color wheel to make the design work. There is a close up of the border quilting in my profile page.

Enchanted Valley I - Designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Young Harris College Class of 1952's graduation. Presented to the Alumni Foundation at Homecoming 2002 in the enchanted valley nestled in the shadow of Double Knob mountain.

Orange you glad I like Orange - I don't remember where or when I aquired this quilt top. I've had it in a box for a long time. I just finished building a new sewing-work table and put my sewing room together. As I was arranging everything in my sewing room I came across this quilt top and thought I'd share it with TQS.

Jubilation - Started as a wall hanging, Plain and Fancy, consisting of Card Trick and Illinois blocks but then it grew into a full size quilt with center surrounded by Card Trick and plain border.

My One and Only Windmill Log Cabin - This is a workshop project from a class I took with Bonnie Browning. The paper piecing put me to the test but I finished it in the end. Took me 12 blocks before I made one without having to rip something out! It's going in my office at school, both grandsons want it and I am not making another! You may have seen this pattern on a quilt at the opening of the Simply Quilts program that Alex had on HGTV. Always loved it!

Do You Dream in Color? - I have this little problem with throwing anything away... The Material Girls had an instructor come up to give us a class on the BSR foot for our 440s and this was my practice piece. I got home and couldn't stop so I continued to practice quilting with a way of drawing when I was a child. I have always wanted to see what crayons on fabric would do so I colored the whole thing with my trusty box of 64 and heat set it with my applique pressing sheet. I loved it so much and titled it because it makes me think of a dream... Okay, maybe a psychedelic dream.

Irises - This was made as part of the WAQs (Whimsical Art Quilters) of Ukiah, California class. We learned to play with and have fun with Tsukeneko inks. Flower was traced on fabric from book and then I colored the fabric sky blue, the irises with shades of purple and then thread painted some highlights in. (Yeah, I know there was probably an easier way to go about it!)

To be remebered - Made this with a picture taken in Bannack, Montana and printed on fabric that was then dunked in a handy cup of cold coffee, rinsed, splatered with Tsukeneko ink and pretty much trashed. The words were also printed on fabric and then burned around the edges. Quilted with Crazy stitches and have sewn on beads and weathered wood.

Seeing Spots - This was all leftovers from another Material Girls Dot Challenge... Seems like those ladies just love giving me another project! The original blocks that these remaining circles were cut from have all been sewn, sliced, and sent to Ukiah, California to be swapped with the other Material Girls at their coast retreat! Wish I was there!

Color Frusturation - This Quilt was made as a replica of a Beautiful Design, I saw made by the Amish. I designed the Colors, and the color placement. This quilt needs a good home and is for sale for $200.00. I made this quilt from start to finish, and it is hand quilted. The Amish Charges $ 900.00 for their quilt, and it is well worth it due to the elaborate hand quilting they do. I would love to be able to quilt like that.

Peaceful Dedication designed by June Jaeger - "Peaceful Dedication 40"" x 45"" fused and pieced quilt designed by June Jaeger and published by Prairie Girls Quilt Shop.

Tulip - Quilt is 1 0f 11 made for a challenge to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Alaska Adventure - Panel bought while on Alaskan Cruise. The panels were cut apart and resewn back together.
