The Bird Lady - The bird fabrics were leftovers from sets of scrubs made for my daughters vetrinary assistant job. Some are fussy cut, some are not. This is my first quilt, and my friend Mary Behnke helped me design it, and gave me instructions for the construction of the quilt top.

23rd Psalm - embroidered words of the 23rd Psalm, surrounded by blocks with lambs embroidered on them. Made for my friend in a nursing home. This is my second quilt, and the first one designed, executed and finished with no help. The fabric for the back, and surrounding the embroidered lambs was donated by my friend, Mary. There are many errors, but my friend, who taught Sunday school for years and called her students her "lambs" (Her last name is Woolley), enjoys it, and can run her fingers over the embroidery and recited the 23rd Psalm, in spite of the fact she is almost blind and her memory is failing badly.

O Holy Night - This is a wall hanging of a nativity scene.

Toot-toot - My friend and I designed this quilt together. We each made one, differing in the fabrics we chose for the train cars, and the applique stitches we used. We appliqued the trains on the cloud fabric, added tracks and gravel, and turned our grandsons loose on it. They run their trains around the tracks, and then snuggle up and nap on them.

Portrait of Jung - This is my fifth quilt, and my first attempt at "scribble quilting." The dog pictured really does look like our family clown, Jung. I changed the background considerably. In my quilt it resembles the setting of a log cabin we rented in Colorado.

Safari Reflections - This is my sixth quilt, and my first attempt at the color block technique. The quilt went together very quickly for me, and my results were very pleasing. The corners matched, and all else went well. It was fun to do .

Nebula - Hand dyed fabrics fused to velvet background, free motion quilted, heavy beading and fabric painted.

Sonoma in September - Hand dyed fabrics fused to muslin foundation with commercial fabric backing.

I made this quilt by using some fussy cut native birds from a New Zealand designed fabric as the centre of the stars and added paper pieced ferns.

Grateful Hearts - This quilt was made for my principal, Sister Marie. Each heart represents a prayer for a particular person in my life. Sister Marie is a true inspiration in my life.

There's a Lady in the Corner - Used oriental fabrics with gold in most of them

Black Magic - Black on black background, oriental fabrics and hand quilted in gold thread

Bountiful Harvest 2 - I used embroidery techniques, including stumpwork and ribbon work, to make a miniature version of a Baltimore quilt. The blocks are 5" and are surrounded by a hand quilted border. This quilt won the merit prize for Best Use of Embellishments at the recent New Zealand Symposium held in Palmerston North, and was also accepted for the suitcase exhibition which will be travelling around New Zealand for the next year.

Tropical Bouquet - There are only two fabrics in this quilt, one a marvellous tropical floral and the other a gold spotted black. I fussy cut some of the fabric to get a bouquet like arrangement and freely cut other parts to make the border. The narrow green "piping" is two strands of perle cotton couched in place.

Passion Fruit - Using the colors of the passion fruit gave me the color scheme for this quilt. The quilting design is of passion fruit leaves and tendrils.

Carnival - I made this quilt for the Pilgrim Roy Challenge run annually for funds the American Quilters Museum. The fabrics were supplied and were the only ones allowed to be used.

Lillebet's Garden - Designed as a teaching sampler for the confident beginner

Silk Flower Convergence - I made this convergence quilt and wasn't sure how to finish it off. Then, I signed up for a class using silk flowers/ tulle/ and beads to embellish quilts and knew that is what I would do.
