Threaded Wedding Ring (BACK) - This is the back of the quilt that won 2nd place at the IQA Houston show. The centers of the rings and the border embroideries were embroidered seperately from the front and matched up with the front before quilting. The rings are quilted from the front. the rest of the quilt was machine quilted on my Babylock Quilter's Professional machine using trapunto and lots of background stitching. It has a two sided binding and a corded edge.

Threaded Wedding Ring - The wedding ring is entirely made up with machine embroidery that I digitized myself. The swag is needle turned. The quilt is embroidered front and back and is reversible.

Baby Blues - White minkee on the front...super soft blue and white flannel stripe on the back. So soft for a special new baby boy!

Veggie Wrap - My family's favorite! Made using Moda's Rites of Spring FQs. Soft flannel backing...it's the best! Perfect for wrapping up in while "vegging out" in front of the TV!

Grandmas Begonias - This Quilt was made for my cousin for her wedding. The backing is cream with pink and pale green plaid fabric.

Love of Family - I designed this quilt for an auction we had at our family reunion to raise funds for the Breast Cancer 3 day walk. It is my father's family of 10 siblings and their parents along with a family picutre. I machine embroidered the family name and appliqued it. I also machine embroidered their names and birthdates. Our auction of themed baskets, afghans made by my sister and the quilt raised over $1100! I received 5 more orders to make this same quilt for other family members.

Just Duckie - I sized down the turning twenty pattern and added chenille ducks. It was made for my baby nephew Haden.

Mammals of the Lagoon - This quilt was designed and made as a final project for the Florida Naturalist, Coastal environments seminar. It hangs in a classroom, and was made to teach children about the marine mammals of the lagoon and the responsibility of the human mammals to care for the environment. My husband assisted in the design as well as the construction of the quilt top. The borders of the quilt contain marine life images in variegated threads.

Sock Monkey - This is a nine patch and snowball patch combined to make use of Moda's wonderful sock monkey fabric. Our sewing group liked it so much we ordered a bolt of fabric, and made lots more.

Patty's quilt - I purchased an African batik, and fussy cut it to make it fit Pamela Mostek's wonderful pattern. It was a gift to my daughter, and is hanging on the wall in her apartment.

Bear Paw - This was the first quilt I ever made to give away. It was made for my first great nephew. I no longer handquilt, so this is a rarity. The quilt was in mint condition when I gave it!

steam iron redux - The quilt has been entered in Quilting Arts Magazine "Go Green" challenge. It was made from parts of my steam iron that died. I did a rubbing on the sole plate and couched on wires and plastic tubing from the innards of the iron.

Bill's quilt

Nicholas' Birth Quilt - This crib sized quilt shows the children of the whole world as they form the hope for all of us. Nicholas' parents are both adopted. His father (our son) was born in India and spent the first 6 years of his life there. His mother was born in South Korea and was adopted by a family in New York when she was 14 months old. The blending of families, cultures, and traditions makes all of us stronger. I interpreted this pattern to feature Korean and Indian traditional costumes. The backing was of monkeys, which ran free in the streets of Bangalore, India, where our son was born.
