Flower Power - I love flowers. I also love collecting buttons and batik fabric. I reversed machine free-motion quilted this one which means I used the back (flower fabric) as my guidelines.

Christmas Tree Rag-Edge

TQS BOM #2 - I love these blocks. When I took my first picture my vase looked like a one-eyed monster (the design in fabric) So I proceeded to add some circles to change the design. After doing this and viewing my finished product - I no longer have to deal with the one-eye monster. Some things just deserve a change! Now I am on to my 3rd block and hopefully will stay on track.

Pot of Flowers Medallion - Cover quilt of book; saw this and wanted it in my kitchen. Made two while i was at it, and gave my sister one of them.

Free Trade Agreement - Australia and USA entered into a Free Trade Agreement in 2004. To honour my dual Australian/US citizenship, I merged our two flags. 50 stars and the Union Jack in quilting.

Anthony's 1st Quilt - Quilt was made for a Anthony's first Christmas using 5 " squares of fun prints, that are bright and colorful. Quilt is 7 X 11 squares.

This Ones For You - My daughter who I thought was not really interested in my quilting, announced to me one day that I had never made her a quilt and her brother had 2! Well, it was 4 months before her 30th birthday, so that was all I needed. She liked a One Block Wonder I had done in a workshop, so I made another one with octagons. If you've never done this, stick to the hexagons. And then I added borders to make it big enough for her bed. She loves it!

Romance of the Chickens - This original design was intended for the Black, White & Red All Over Keepsake Quilting challenge. We were given 6 fabrics and had to use at least 4. The rose fabric was orange, so I colored it with ink and fussy cut the roses. The beaks and feet were also painted. The roses formed a heart and just needed some ruffles – albeit of dots and checks. It didn’t meet the challenge size requirements, so I couldn’t send it in for judging. After quilting, I realized I didn’t like the background fabric by the chickens, so I cut it out, faced the openings, then added a background of black netting to support the quilt.

Simply Red - Red Work

Bright Lighting Bolts - I like bright colors. The quilt was free hand quilted on my janome long arm with out marking any lines,no guides either. Though my lines aren't perfect,it turned out nice. I used matching threads for each fabric color fron't and back.

Mexican Cross - I was watching Fons and Porters show on tv and wrote down the pattern. This quilt took me ayear to finish because I had cut out alot of small pieces and did it the long route. several were made in between. Afew thought I would never finish it, surprize!!

Love Knott Dancing Starzzz - Love knott dancing starzzz was one of my favorite quilts to quilt. I drew out my own quilting pattern with a ruler and led pencil with inner locking weeving lines. Then I drew out starzzz with wooden stencil.

Crazy Curves - Crazy curves has an embroidery pattern along each curve edge before any quilting. I quilted a flower design that I drawed out onto freezer paper then it was all quilted in the ditch. The paper comes off fairly easy.
