Christmas in the hall - Reverse quilt made to fit on a big white wall in my entrance room. The back side is made of differents Christmas fabrics

Celtic mandala - A Mandala is originaly a drawing made to express your feelings at the moment you are drawing. The difficulty has been to "translate" a drawing into patterns.

Single Irish Chain - Shabby Chic colors made this Single Irish Chain quilt. It is the first quilt that I have made specifically for me!!! It will be my quilt to nap under, read under, dream under.

Harmonic Convergence Quilt - My first Harmonic Convergence Quilt. I enjoyed making this quilt, but have to say that I got distracted by the dogs and got my strips all mixed up!!!! Had to re-assemble fabric in original layout 4 times!! Had one dog with his foot in the wastepaper basket, one standing on the foot pedal, one trying to jump up for a cuddle, and two wrestling on the floor. The next one will be done with the door firmly shut (I'll have to wear ear plugs so that I don't hear the whining and scratching at the door). Next time I'll get into the creative zone.

Gracie Jean's Baby Quilt - I made this for my new granddaughter, just in time for her to come home from the hospital wrapped in it.

Hawaiian Dayz - I was given some Hawaiian fabric and my Future Daughter in Law loved it. Seeing how she's part Hawaiian I thought it should be for her. She has however allowed me to enter it in this years Quilt show that wil be held in June 2008 in Seaside, Ca. It would be great to return the quilt to her with a ribbon? We shall see on the 15th.

My Mary Englebreit - I loved the bright colors of Mary Englebreit so I made this for myself and it's hanging on my quilt rack that my son made for me.

Keep Quilting - I made this quilt for a drawing at my previous employers as a thank you for there support for my donated leave time. As the leave time was donated I was unable to find out who won the quilt.

Dr. Joe's Teeth - I made this wall hanging for my dentist as a thank you for all the yeas he has helped me and taken great care of me.

Wedding Quilt - I used the Baltimore Album Blocks that I started in a class back in 1995 to create a wedding quilt for my son and his wife. I had seen this setting at the Houston Quilt show and found a photo of it in QNL in the "photo finish" page in the December 2005 issue. The inpiration was a quilt made by Bonnie Keller called From Baltimore to Boisfort. Boy, was it challenging to figure out the dimensions and how to put it together with just a photo. I finished the quilt for their first anniversary in 2007.

My First (But Not Last!) Harmonic Convergence - My wonderful SIL sent Ricky's book to me, and I fell in love immediately! I sat down and made this quilt in one day using batiks I had in my stash. It's not blocked yet. Thanks, Ricky, for the inspiration!!!

Drama Memories - I made this quilt for my nephew from all the t-shirts he accumulated in drama during school.

Serenety "rocky Point" - Size 86 x86. Made of 100 % cotton . Comprised of 16" squares,with a different Embordiery Design in each square. Framed by a yellow border. Theme taken from my late Grandmothers works. All work on this Quilt has been Hand Embroidered,Hand peiced and Hand Quilted.

Flying High - I am making this quilt for my new Great Nephew, who will arrive in about a month. I wanted to use bright, fun fabrics to brighten his room. I tried to vary the blocks to create more interest. I made the quilt larger than a standard baby quilt because "Baby Hedlund" will probably be taller like his parents.

Happy 60th Anniversary! - I made this quilt for my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. Because I wanted to use many pictures, I was not able to find a pattern, so I had to make up the design. It was SO much fun looking through all of the old photo albums and choosing pictures that would depict our life on the farm and throughout to all five girls grown and with families of their own. My sisters and my niece came up before the party to help me tie the quilt, so the gift could be from all of us!

Log Cabin Variation Quilt - Even though I have been around quilting most of my life, I decided I wanted to start quilting as my personal hobby. The first book I purchased was "Start Quilting with Alex Anderson." I read the book from beginning to end and made many of the projects she published in that book. Because this block was so easy and fun to make, I made two quilt tops at the same time. The second one I sent to my friend in Japan.

Watercolor Heart - I had never attended a quilt class before, and was interested in the process of watercolor designs. Our local quilt shop, Furever Friends, gave the perfect class for me. I enjoyed the process and I get many compliments on this quilt.

Grandma's Stash Quilt - This was made shortly after the Sept. 11th attack in New York. I wanted to make something with an American flag in it, and I liked the "down home" prints found in Grandma Kelso's fabric stash.
