Where All Paths Lead

Edison Quilt #3 - This is my third Edison quilt. I made this quilt while watching Eleanor Burns "Quilt in a Day" television show on PBS. I gave this quilt to my Granddaughter Janell.

Irish Prayer - Our Pastor is leaving our parish.The ladies at the church asked me to make a wall hanging of "May the road rise to meet you ..." to hang and give him at his going away party. The embroidered cross design was downloaded from John Deer website adorable ideas.com. The clover was a design in my Artista 5 software and the circle is a machine design from Studio Bernina Continuous Line Quilting by Keryn Emmerson Lisc. by Golden Threads. All embroidery and Quilting was done with King Tut multi green thread. My friend Gloria Donovan hand sewed the finishes on back for the binding and sleeve and lable.

Why are they all yellow - This is a sunflower quilt which I made from all my favorite colours. It is pieced with a machine and quilted with a machine.

Elly's Comfort - For my Danish grandmother in the colors of a summer day in Denmark. It is smallish, so as to not trip her up as she is smallish herself. She uses it for her daily nap, and when watching TV.

Shadow's Quilt - This was my first completed project, a thick, flannel kitty quilt to warm cushion the frail bones of my Shadow-girl. In the last year or more of her life, she nearly lived on this.

Matt's Dune Quilt

50th Year Anniversary Quilt

Stars in Pink - A variety of pink batik fabric was used for most of the pinks, although other 100% cotton fabric was used. This is a pattern I borrowed from a friend. I only remember that one of the two blocks was Jacob's ladder.

Winter at "the cabin" - This wall quilt was made using photos taken around the cabin in the winter. I placed the photos in the center of the log cabin style blocks to border the center square. Two corner stones are pieced trees and then there are appliqued trees across the whole quilt. A family of deer are bedded down in the left bottom corner as well.

Graduation Present for Evan - This is the back of the quilt

Graduation Present for Evan - I like this pattern because it was a quilt as you go project and fun to quilt in pieces. The quilt was published in Divide & Conquer, by Nancy Smith & Lynda Milligam. I selected quilting patterns for the top from Infinite Feathers Quilting Designs by Anita Shackleford.

GRAM SAYS - Starting with Sue Garman's patterns, I personalized everything to reflect my two grandchildren. It is hand appliqued and then quilted on my Handi-Quilter16. More photos are on my Webshots album. http://good-times.webshots.com/album/569535274sopNBN?vhost=good-times EDIT: 2nd place ribbon/ A Mountain Quiltfest/ Pigeon Forge, TN March 2009

Savannah's baby quilt - 36 x 36 Baby quilt

Andreas Wedding Quilt - I purchased the kit for this Irish Chain Quilt at my local quilting shop. It took me a few years before I actually attempted to make the quilt and once I figured it out, it went really well. I loved this pattern and thought it was so beautiful on the wall. My daughter Andrea was overwhelmed when she received this quilt as a wedding gift. I stippled with my own pattern of hearts and also stippled their names and wedding date on two of the white blocks. I'd love to attempt this again. Since I have a huge stash of fabric it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with colors to go into this quilt. That's Andrea holding the quilt with her husband Deryl on the other side.

You're Home! - Second in a dog series, a joyous reunion is captured with energy in fabric.

Badlands - This portrait expresses admiration for those that advanced the American frontier in the 1800's & survived. The challenge was creating the desolate nature of the land and the strength of the man surveying the harsh reality

Rowan's Welcome - A cute scrappy quilt made for the birth of Rowan.
