Orange Star - My other daughter-in-law asked for an orange and brown wall hanging. (I think she thought this would be hard.) I love orange so I really enjoyed making it.

Flannel Storm - This was my first and last flannel quilt. I love the pattern. I made the quilt for my son and daughter-in-law to use on their 44 foot sailboat. Her favorite color is green.

Renissance Double Wedding Ring - I pieced this quilt for my friend's daughter. She bought the fabric and pattern and brought it to me. This quilt was hung in a gazebo and Melissa and Jerame were married under it June 14, 2007. Congratulations!

Poduszka 1 - For Grandmotaher

Poduszka

View of the Orient - Fat quarters of oriental fabrics. Was definately fun to make.

Dragons, Swords, and Heroes - This is a paper-pieced quilt. The patterns were published in Quilts with Style magazine over a period of months.

Stained Glass Bright - The center circle with the two concentric six-pointed stars is from the web page. The rest of the quilt is my own original design.

Pinwheeling in Bali - I took a class at my local guild and made this quilt.

Peacock in My Garden - The peacock in this quilt was machine embroidered by me on my Bernina 200E sewing machine. I machine quilted the quilt using the same home sewing/embroidery machine.

Garden of Flowers - My husband's grandmother presented this to us for our wedding in 1981. The fabrics are from his mother's and aunt's dresses made by their mother Bettie Draper in the 30s & 40s.

Grandma's Follie or "NObody Sneeze" - Grandma cut these tiny pieces with scissors and hand pieced and appliquéd the blocks. My uncle (who is a hay fever sufferer) was instructed "DON'T SNEEZE!" when she had the block pieces laid out. He is a wonderful son and took her EVERYWHERE (by his on words) to find the fabrics - there weren't as many quilt shops as there are today.

Stenciled Sampler - The stencils in the book were not cut out. I hand-cut the stencils myself with an exacto knife, then used solid stencil paint with a dry-brush method to paint the quilt blocks. This was very time-consuming, but I enjoyed the results immensely.

No Diamonds in the Sky - The inspiration for the colours in this quilt came from the batik used in the border. It was amazingly simple to piece once all the awesome batiks were chosen.

Kimono - I saw this quilt in a magazine and thought the piecing method was cumbersome so I adapted the Stack the Deck method of piecing crazy quilt blocks. I had a lot of fun collecting the asian fabrics for this one!

Jacqueline's Epiphany - I had planned on using purple and orange batiks only and a friend at the class suggested I add Teal to the mix - it was so easy and fast... Taught at a guild workshop based on a pattern in a book called Easy Pieces (which is no longer available).

Twisted Orange Peel - This quilt started out with a challenge from my stitch group - The Twisted Stitchers - we all bought 4 half metres of the same fabric and were to piece a quilt with curves or the illusion of curves. I added 40 or so other fabrics. The quilt took over 200 hours to complete and it is one of my favourites.
