Hollow Cube Sampler - I had so much fun playing with inserting hollow cubes in my One Block Wonder quilts, I had to make this little wall hanging. I experimented with the facing-type edge here; challenging, but I am pleased with it.
Friends #1 - This is one of three sampler quilts done for me when the internet experience was very new to me. I found these blocks when my husband and I were moving into our vacation home in NC. I put them together in three quilts and machine quilted them on my long arm machine. They hang proudly in our new home!
Ann's Quilt - This quilt was made for my brother in law and his wife Ann, who is one of my best friends. I always knew I would make them one for their wedding. This quilt has Ann's favorite colors light to dark peach, hand appliqued and hand quilted. It was a joy to work on
Fishing Sisters - Art quilt of three sisters sitting on a pier fishing and relaxing, includes underwater view. Uses brights/batiks; raw edge machine appliqued on a home sewing machine.
Triple Treat Challenge - Carol Doak provided three paper piecing blocks and challenged her Yahoo group to use only those to come up with a layout. I created a circus-themed crib quilt.
45's & LP's - Art quilt, wallhanging tryptich. Quilt top made and quilted as one piece and cut into three separate pieces and then bound, but it is hung as one piece.
Dragons - I made this quilt as a get well gift for a friend. Black and red cottons and batiques were used for the 1" squares. Gold brocade was used for the piping around the circles.
It's a Zinger! - I was a new quilter and wanted a challenge. I was thrilled by Jan Krentz's book and decided to tackle one of her quilts. This is the result.
My First Convergence - This is my first convergence quilt. made from Ricky's fabrics by Red Rooster. machine quilted using Superior thread, and my first try at Ricky's teardrop overall quilting design.
Allison's Awesome Quilt - I made this quilt for my daughters high school graduation. It contains pictures of her, and her family and friends. She has it on her dorm room bed to remind her of home.
Stars of Africa - This was a paper-piecing pattern tissue packaged in a tiny, 2" square zip-lock that hung around my quilt shop for over a year before I took it to a retreat and actually pieced it. I love the batiks.
Olive Pops for Tea - Paper pieced houses and appliqued flowers. I made this little kit larger with added borders and blue scrappy binding to complement my Wedgewood tea service. It was my first time using 100% bamboo batting (which I now LOVE!).
