Some Day I'll Be Done - Photo shows detail of my on-going portable project using the English paper-piecing method. Top was finally completed Dec. 31, 2006, but I still have to decide how to quilt it.

Aquamarine Ambience - NOT - Using the designs from the Aquamarine Ambience book and CD, I made this quilt for my daughter-in-law. She requested a "throw" for her family room. I have threatened my grandsons with their lives if they use it to build a fort.

Red and Black Pineapple Twist - I loved collecting the black and red fabrics that I used. The magazine picture with the pattern of this quilt was blue and yellow.

Shauna's 10th Birthday Quilt - My niece Shauna's favorite colors are red and purple. This and her twin sister's quilt were the first I had quilted with a long-arm machine.

Noelle's 10th Birthday Quilt - My niece Noelle's favorite color is lime green, but I couldn't quite bring myself to make any entirely lime green quilt!

Mom's French Braid

Bruce's Africa trip - I may never do a triangle quilt again!

wild flowers - This little quilt is made using just 2 pieces of Laura Wasilowski's hand dyed fabrics. Fabrics were fused, cut out, and stitched down.

Mayan Harvest - This pattern is basically half square triangles and plain squares. I just loved the theme fabric I used, all butterfly wings.

Lucky Stars - This quilt was made for a Relay for Life Auction in St. Louis Missouri where we lived at the time

Theres a Garden in my Parrot - Made for a challenge sponsored by Hobby Horse. The challenge fabric was a tropical print with parrots. I simplified the parrot design and couched a string of beads for the outline. Then filled it with dimensional flowers from Elly Sienkiewicz book.

Gradient Squares aka Scrappy 2 - This quilt is attemp 2, to use my scraps. It was fun to play with color placement.I attached 2 embroidered butterflies. I usually hide at least one butterfly on my personal quilts.

Reflections aka Scrappy 1 - This quilt helped use my scraps, I like the play of colors.

Under the Sea - This quilt is made with pieced and scrunched fabric background. There is machine embroidery, machine applique, and thread painting on this quilt

Virginia's Water Garden - This Quilt was to be a present for my Mom. My mom passed away before it was finished, so I finished it in her honor at the first anniversary of her death. There are woven blocks and embroidered butterflies and water lilies.

Wisteria Rambling - This quilt was designed, pieced and colourque'd by me. The quilting was designed and done by Tracey Browning. We were invited to design and make two quilts for the 2007 Quilt for a Cure projects for 2007 in conjunction with Universal Magazines and Lloyd Curzon Textiles. The quilt project will appear in the SEpt issue of Quilters Companion and will then be auctioned off with proceeds going to the Breast Cancer foundation. We did another for HOmespun Magazine...

Constantine Farm - This one was designed at the request for boys stuff, but not sure that it is still very boyish. I used a cartoon look for the colourque/stitchery blocks and all designs were based on my sisters farm and family.... Not sure they like how I represented them tho, they are not really that hick!! I did all the outline stitching with just black thread. My friend made up the pattern in lovely girly colours and I must say I like that one better....

Fairy Kisses - This quilt was designed to use Colourque and the fairy theme my 3 girlie girls love and adore... It used my most favourite Robyn Pandolph fabrics of the time and I learnt a lot whilst designing and perfecting it.
