Paradise Found - This quilt was started a while ago, but when Machine Quilters Showcase announced their theme of "Tropical Treasures" for 2008, I knew I had to finish it

Peter's Stars - I made this quilt for my brother who had Down's Syndrome. He was the star of our family!

Fantasia - I based my quilt with Rickys convergence then did my own thing with the rest of the quilt, I love cubes .I made the quilt from fabric Patt.BTR 4463 & 4460. I had been looking for a fabic that would be great for that style and found it among Ricky Tims Rhaposdie coloree II DSN 17062 It made my project stand out, Thanks to Ricky's fabric I was able to make this work. I like lots of color.

Pastel squares - I decided to experiment with subtle colors. This quilt is still waiting to be finished. Might leave the triangular edges as such and quilt the bind or may add more borders. Having fun playing!

Back of 'Keep sending the postcards' - Used Printed Treasures to include pictures of my Father's travels on the back of this quilt. Used map fabrics and the machine quilting is oak leaves and acorns as 'home' is called Twin Oaks.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
