Coming Home

Hunter's Star - I made this as a wedding quilt for my brother and his wife - they owe me BIG TIME!

Rainbow Rosettes - This wall hanging was my wedding gift to my god-daughter and her husband. It's foundation pieced with 1/8th inch seams .. LOTS of them!

Tonbo - This was a team quilt with Linda Jedlicka doing the piecing and Laurie Weiner doing the elaborate quilting design. We were juried into the 2011 Quilt Show at the LaConner Quilt Museum, LaConner, Washington.

Jacob's Snails - I make this quilt in a class taught by Peggy Gelbrich, who created this pattern and later published it in Quilter's Newsletter. I've made many quilts since, but it's still my favorite!

Agate Beach - This is it. The very first quilt that I tried my Mosaic Picture Piecing method on. It was a complete experiment. Would it work? I was pleased and was encouraged by my friends to teach the method and eventually to write a book about it. The inspiration picture, taken by my husband, was of Dry Lagoon, where we search for agates in the unusual sand.

Winter in Ohio - This was a Christmas present for a son in law who was born and raised in Ohio.

Mexican Stars - I made this is a class taught by Beth Whitman. Beth used the pattern published by Southwind Designs, but the border is of Beth's own design. It features 3-D "folded" piecing in both the quilt center and in the border. My son's wife fell in love with it, so it's no longer on my wall but on their's!

Abby's Quilt - The blocks were appliqued on by machine depending on size of outfit, then sashing was sewn between the blocks. Outfits were from Abby's collection of baby and little girl clothings.

Sarah's Quilt - These were outfits from childhood of Sarah's including, coming home outfit from hospital through Christmas, Easter, and birthdays. Plus other outfits Mom liked her in.

Daffodils Delight - This quilt was especially designed for Virginia Garden Society as an auction item by Ginger Wallach. She wanted to have daffodils (6 stems only) in the quilt. Used Kona Bay fabric and embroidered the other daffodils on my machine, including the center block and small corner blocks in the middle of the quilt.

A Time to Remember - This quilt was commissioned by an old friend of Nancy's to give to her for a Christmas present. There are pictures of Nancy's family within the quilt that she picked out in advance. I used the fabric from Moda's "Withering Heights" collection.

Let the Good Times Roll - This quilt was a T-shirt quilt designed for Laura Layden's brother as a Christmas present from old T-shirts that he had left at home. There was another one made of the left over shirts that his mother gave him as a Christmas present too.

Times to Remember - This is the other T-shirt quilt made for Laura Layden's brother as a Christmas present from old T-shirts that he had.

Florida Sunrise - This quilt was designed to match a picture that hung in the guest room of my Mother's house down in Florida. She wanted something bright and colorful. The blues in the quilt are actually more of an aqua shade and over 46 different fabric designs were used in this quilt. Aqua is a hard color to try and match up, so there are several different shade of it in this quilt, plus different shades of yellow, white, orange, and greens.
