Stars Over the Carrebean - Made on a quilting cruise in March 2008

Wooly Friends - Fun and whimsical quilt created by Nancy Davis-Murty from Bee Creative Studio for Andover Fabrics. These fabulously wooly sheep are so cute they are perfect for any age.

A Hike in the Collegiate Peaks - This quilt was created in a Lenore Crawford workshop, creating impressionist images using 2 inch fabric squares and raw edge applique to add details and features. I designed this from memory of a hike in the Collegiate Peaks range in Colorado, near our cabin. This was my first effort in thread painting on my longarm.

Flying Peppered Geese - Lap Quilt with pocket on back. Cotton with cotton batting. Quilted with Maderia variegated thread.

Class Quilt - I made this quilt for my daughter's kindergarten class. It was auctioned at the school fundraising auction for $300. Each child in the class has their name on an apple, fish, or star. The border blocks were cut from a pre-printed panel, they have the Beattitudes Teddy Bears on them. I also stitched their class scriptures and info on the quilt. As you can see, the sun shines through and shows that I used two green panels for the backing.. bad bad bad.. I never thought of it until it was too late! Oh well Live and learn!

Lots of Kitties for Haylee - What fun making these appliqued kitties. They are set on poing and inerspersed with blocks containing appliqued flowers. Quilting consists of free-style flower fines and traditional feathered hearts. Made for my grandaughter.

These Boots are Made for Skiing - This quilt was made as a gift for a young woman who is studying to be a ski coach. It will be given to her sometime in 2009. She is an Alaskan so many of the boots sport Alaskan themes. The boots are all paperpieced with was a surprise for the maker who thought she was purchasing an applique pattern. The original pattern has 20 different boots but I thought boots should be in pairs so made 2 of each. As always, only cotton fabrics, batting and threads are used in my quilts. It was a very fun quilt to make. The hardest thing was finding the ski themed fabric for the red border and there is also a section of backing done in a blue ski themed fabric.

In Olden Days - This is a BOM quilt of old style blocks that came with paper templates. I converted them to more modern measurements for accurancy and ease in making the blocks. Quilting consists of an undulating feathered border and large feathered circles centered on each of the 20 blocks. The quilt was made for donation to InterFaith Quilters of Longmont , CO for their annual sale to raise money for local charities.

Miko's Stars - The eight pointed stars were among a large group I purchased at a garage sale in Kenai, Alaska. I was told that they had been pieced by hand by a neighbor lady named Miko, who had passed away suddenly at age 71. I believe she would have wanted them to continue into a finished quilted item. So I placed them in four corners (she had already attached the white squares to sets of 4 stars) of a table topper. I think of this quilter who I never met everytime I look at the the table with the topper on it. I like to think she is smiling somewhere at seeing her work taken care of.
