6th Grade Goes to Ancient Egypt - My students wrote their names in heiroglyphics and hand sewed their block of three strips.

The Bikini Made Me Do It - This quilt is a result of a challenge from my guild to use 2 or more items from the local dollar store. The first I found was a fabric flower bikini top and everything took off from there. I ended up using 6 items, including the bikini top. The woman depicted holds a list of "important" items you need to take on vacation.

Gettysburg Stars - I have fallen in love with reproduction fabric and civil war quilts. This project gave me a chance to combine piecing and my new challenge - hand applique.

Prairie Sampler - This wallhanging was created at North Country Quilt Camp during a two day class with Linda Halpin. Linda was inspired to create this sampler by Little House on the Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Little Green Birdie - I designed this little quilt with Robyn Pandolph's "Flirt" line of fabrics. The bird is machine appliquéd with a crazy tail! I have only been machine quilting for about a year, but am so pleased with the results I've been getting.

Monogrammed Harlequin Diamonds - I designed this quilt to be an example of a custom appliquéd monogrammed quilt. I also wanted to showcase some intricate quilting.

Baby Bennet - Machine pieced, machine embroidery and machine quilted.

Honoring Marines - I made this for my sister in honor of her son, a marine in Iraq, and in honor of her husband who also was a marine.

Micah's T-shirt Quilt - My son just wanted a collage of his favorite t-shirts of special events in his life, his sports and colleges. I pieced the shirts together trying to balance the different sizes and colors and sujects.

Twisted tree - The big tree is made of twisted fabric. The small trees are quilted on to the bagground and all the trees are embelished with glass beats.

Batik Beauty - This was the Back Door's 1st Saturday sampler. I purchased additional fabric and added blocks in. I used pieces of the fabrics to make a scrappy border.

Keep sending the postcards - A 70th birthday gift. The front is based on traditional patterns but the back includes photos.
