No Name baby quilt - This is a baby quilt I just thought was cute and will use it as a present for some baby someday. Yes, I saw after I took the picture that I put in a couple of the yellow triangles in the wrong place. Will fix it soon -- just wanted to post it in time for the contest. :v)

Shimmering Circles - From a class taught by Shelley Aldrich at Quilted Treasures in Kelseyville, CA

Windmills of My Mind - Although this is a symmetrical pattern, I chose to place it off center. I love to stare at this quilt.

Fancy Sue

Moving Beyond - I tested this block during Ila McCallum's design process and really liked the way it turned out. I put double batting in the windows for more depth. The name reflects that I am moving beyond stitch in the ditch and am concentrating on quilting as part of the design.

James Quilt - Bright primary colors with machine embroidered Peanuts Characters

Nate's Quilt - Baby Nate's room was done in these colors with airplanes the theme. I didn't want to compete with the nursery decor so used this traditional pattern.

Morning Has Broken - This quilt is named after the Cat Stevens song. This is the only quilt I have in a public space, it is hanging in a library.

Mia's Quilt - Strawberry Shortcake theme fabric with Machine embroidery.

Duckie in the Rain - I loved the Duck block pattern when I saw it. So I made that block. Then I built a quilt around it. I used the duck outlines to quilt it. I love this quilt, the duck and the colors. I will sell it sometime down the road. For now I just like looking at it. I has off white fleece on the back.

Pulse - Sunrise and sunset with the night in between, the pulse of a day. Pulse is also my favorite Pink Floyd album and I feel a musical pulse from this quilt.

Puppies in the Corner - Made for my niece's first son. He loves puppies so I left the puppy fabric as a large piece on the back.

We'll Miss You - One of our engineers at work was leaving after 5 years to return home to Japan. I remembered this folded square that I did as a "make and take" several years ago at the Sew Expo. The squares are very easy to complete. The hard part was figuring out how to connect them. After a ton of brain storming with quilting friends, I came up with the idea of using beads as connectors.

Princess Cassandra - Purchased Princess theme fabric, Embroidered designs using Bernina 180E

Kristine's Quilt - Soft neutral beige, browns and peach Appliqued quilt

Nick's College Quilt - This is the first t-shirt quilt I created. I got carried away and its much larger than originally intended! I like the process so much I have started up a small business making t-shirt quilts.

For Chris - A Christmas gift for my sister-in-law who collects cups and saucers. I found out I really like paper piecing.

A Bed of Tulips - After being laid up from a major back surgery, I was able to do nothing but walk very short distances and enjoy all the television I wanted. Well, I'm not much for the tv but I stopped short when I saw my first quilt program ever, Quilt in a Day, by Eleanor Burns. I was hooked!!! Well, it certainly took me more than one day, but forever changed my life. This is my first and favorite quilt, and turned out pretty darn good, if I do say so myself!
