Kate's Graduation Quilt - I made this quilt for my daughter Kate's graduation from college. She picked out the pattern and I used some of the batiks from my collection (!). I added beads and specialty threads. The middle of the sunflowers are couched w/2 different yarns and beading added.
Lisa's Bento Box - I made this quilt for my daughter Lisa (Sazzy Puff) for her birthday in April. Lisa was born in Korea and I thought she would like these fabrics. Lisa likes black and red. With the scraps I made her a small 21" x 21" log cabin. This quilt is 52" x 67".
Supernova - This is smaller than some of the other fractals I've done. The quilting is more organic, using leaf shapes and flower shapes because I thought it suggested a tree in a Japanese garden. The quilting is with variegated rayon thread.
Binary - Fractals often have two "centers" plus they're based on computer images, which ultimately derive from a binary number system. This image is put together from hand-dyed fabrics and is quilted with variegated rayon thread.
Justin's First Year - This picture quilt was my first attempt using photographs. I used my embroidery machine to quilt this piece using butterfly outlines. The border fabric is royal blue with tiny lime green dots so I accented with lime green batik fabric.
Jenna's Fairies - GD wanted it as a bed spread so I gave it a 20 inch drop. It matches all the wild hot pink, and chocolate, and teal colors in her room. There are plenty more colors in this quilt for her to change her mind about wall colors over and over again
Ebony & Ivory - This quilt was designed for a color class based on the pattern "Fractions". It will be given to my niece for her graduation from Stanford with MD degree in June. It is the first quilt given to her after loss of her family's home to fire in San Diego in October of 2007.
The Rice Planter - I bought a graduated piece of fabric and thought it would be great for the image I have had in my mind for a couple of years. It is still a work in progress and will take some time to finish
Queen of the Sea - Ricky Tims Convergence background. Fish made from a variety of flowered fabrics and machine appliqued. This is still a work in progress and will have shells, miniature star fish and sand dollars added.
Cat and Mouse - The center of this quilt is adapted from the wall hanging Cat Nip. I used leftover fabric from previous quilts to add borders . I also added the mouse
Fall Birches - This quilt was created in a landscape course given by Jenny Taylor of this area. We were taught the proceedure but the design colour and composition were totally our own.
Brock's Quilt - This quilt was made for my great nephew in commemoration of his birthday. It is a variation from a workshop I took with quilter Caroline Price on woven diamonds and using hand dyed fabrics. I used novelty prints spelling out BROCK across the centre diamonds.
