Jewel's Garden: Evening - One in a series of quilt's honoring my Mother. The blocks are not pieced. I used the Electic Quilt Program to design and color the blocks. I treated white fabric with Buble Jet Set and printed out the blocks individually on my inkjet printer.

Baby It's Cold Outside - I just wanted to show that Microsoft Word was a great graphic program. Using only Word I created all the fabric for this quilt and printed it on white fabric treated with 'Bubble Jet Set.'

Danube Drifting - Photos from my cruise on the Danube River in Europe were manipulated in Corel Photo Paint and printed with my HP Inkjet printer.

Danube Tripping - Photos of my cruise on the Danube River in Europe were manipulated in Corel Photo Paint and printed on my HP Ink Jet printer.

Charlotte's quilt - Designed using EQ6, using Kidsline Ladybug bedding as the basis for the appliques and colors. Made for my cousin's new baby.

For Momma & Daddy - This quilt was made for my mother and father's 40th anniversary. I printed a copy of their wedding picture on the label sewn onto the back to the quilt. Many tears were shed in appreciation of all the work this took, but to me, it was well worth it. My parents have now been married for 56 years and the quilt, as well as their marriage, is doing well.

Julia's quillow - Made in Brushed Cotton for my new daughter-in-law as she is always feeling the cold. This was a joy to make and the pattern in the book was easy to follow.

Homespun Heaven - These homespun fat quaters were bought in Houston 2003. Each nine inch block was quilted and then attached to the quilted sashing. This quilt as you go pattern was really easy to complete and my husband loves it.

Dad's Quilt - I made this quilt for Dad and the colors remind me of the suits he used to wear to work. In fact, the back is made of a soft plaid flannel & looks like the shirts he wears now that he's retired!

Kitty Sorbet - I was asked to create a small quilt to donate for a closed auction to help the family of a fellow teacher/coach who passed away unexpectedly. I had just added this material to my stash, and decided to 'whip' this up in about 2 weeks. It's not as intricate a quilting job as I would have liked, but don't think anyone will complain. I used a large stippling to quilt it.

Primative Star - I started to make a 1,000 pyramid quilt and soon lost interest. I decided to take the pyramids already assembled and make something out of them. Adding the plaid background and black border with another plaid binding makes it look "country".

Cowboy Bear - Baby quilt to celebrate my boss' first child.

Wedding Remembrance Quilt - Romantic quilt design to celebrate a special anniversary or wedding. The verse says "If I know what love is, it is because of you" by Hermann Hesse.

Behind the African Mask - This quilt is about the traditional images of Africa at first glance, but then mask lifts up so artwork underneath reveals more about the problems Africans face.

The Critic - This quilt is in response to my inner critic- the one that stops me from experimenting and trying new things. I purposefully did things that would irk my critic- like leaving batting hanging out, there's threads hanging out. The backing is covered with typical critic remarks like- That doesnt belong, that's not right, why would you do that? Now that the critic has a face and a place on the wall instead of in my head, he's much easier to ignore.

Cartwheeling Claus - Original paper-pieced block. Hat is 3D and should have a jingle bell on each point. Beads are used for the eyes and nose.

A Picture of Me - This small quilt is a self-portrait. It was made for a Quilt Art challenge.

Christmas Cardinal - My 1st completed quilt. I developed both the tree design and the cardinal design, both paper pieced, but used Mary's layout of blocks alternating trees and cardinals.
