Sailor's Delight - Round robin quilt. 1st round was mariner's compass.

My First Quilt - My very first quilt.. I had no idea what I was doing, but it all seemed to work out...

Underground Railroad - This is my ALL TIME favorite quilt.... I made this when I was just learning to quilt. It was a little over my head, but I got better and learned so much about myself and the wonderful art of quilting. I used civil war reproductions.. JUST love this quilt !!!

Twelve Month Quilt - This was a fun quilt to make. My 12 inch squares aren't 12 inches. some are bigger, some are smaller. I made this from scraps out of my bin, just kept digging in there to fine the right fabric. I have this on the bed in our guest room. The guest love it!!

Hula Shirts - I made this quilt for a co-worker who always wears hula shirts to work. It's not done yet, I'm still in the process of quilting it. I put one of the squares turned side ways, just for the fun of it. can you see it ?

For My Bed - As a quilter, we make so many quilts for " other "people. I made this one for our king size bed, I love this quilt, one of my best...

Ovarian Cancer National Alliance Block - This is another block for the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. This one is for a co-worker who is a survivor. I did not make it in time for the IQF, so I don't have a picture of the whole quilt, and I don't know which quilt it belongs to now.

Sarah's Flower Garden - My daughter-in-law and I made this comfort quilt for my grand-niece, age six, who was facing fifty-two weeks of chemotherapy. We wanted a quilt that would "get better with washing" as chemotherapy's side effects would require frequent laundering if Sarah were to use it as intended.

Ovarian Cancer National Alliance Quilt - This is the quilt block that I made and submitted to the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. I bought a book to learn how to make these quilted flowers. (You can find the project at http://www.ovariancancer.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Page.viewPage&pageID=490)

Ovarian Cancer National Alliance Quilt - This quilt was displayed at the 2002 IQF in Houston by the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance (OCNA). I was commissioned to make one block and submit it to the OCNA. Then, they took the quilt blocks and assemble them into quilts. A co-worker commissioned me to make the block for a friend who is an ovarian cancer survivor. I submitted it for inclusion in the quilts made by the OCNA.

Karen's T-Shirt Quilt (Back) - I just wanted to add a picture of the back of this quilt. I used a single wide fabric for the backing in navy blue toille (www.widefabrics.com). I hired Richard Larson to stipple quilt it for me. L to R: Karen's friend, me, and Karen.

Karen's T-shirt Quilt - Karen wanted a keepsake quilt of t-shirts she had collected throughout the years. We met through a co-worker that knew I quilted. So, Karen commissioned me to do the quilt. The project took so much work that I had to go to Richard's studio and hire him to stipple quilt it on his longarm. The finished quilt was 108" x 108" and way too big for my home sewing machine!

Keepsake Challenge - I made this quilt one year for the Keepsake Challenge using the challenge fabrics.

Girly, Girl - Bought a panel in Hamilton, Ontario and then added blocks and borders!

Strip Spin - Bonnie Hunter's patterns on quiltville.com are innovative patterns for using scraps. This one uses light and dark strips sewn in alternating pairs, cut and resewn to make the spinning pattern. I pulled all my autumn colors for this one. It was a very fast construction technique.

Serve - The quilted banner represents one of the main tenets of our church's mission statement-- to serve. It depicts the bread and wine of communion and the wheat and grapes from which they come.

60 Years Together - This quilt was a 60th wedding anniversary gift to my in-laws from the family. It has 60 stars of various sizes and fabrics. The four center stars have wedding photo centers showing my in-laws, their 2 sons' weddings, and their one grandson's wedding. A small photo in the lower right shows their one great grandson.

Jonah's Train - My grandchildren get a quilt when they move from crib to 'big bed'. This quilt for Jonah incorporates his picture as the engineer of the bottom train. The quilt grew organically as disparate elements fit together with black and white checks.
