Sports quilt - Living near Houston ,Tx. I wanted to make my grandson a sports quilt with the Texans, Astros & Rockets logos. Since my son-in -law graduated from A&M, & We had University Of Texas, I used there logos also on the quilt. Had to do a lot of research & thanks to my Bernina embroidery machine the quilt was made.
Northwest - I made this quilt to use as a headboard. I doodled the design and Ricky Tims cleaned it up and helped me at the 2005 RMQR.The design reminded me of a design made by pacific north west first nation's people.
My Stars and Stripes - This quilt was started in April 2003 and finished and on the wall one month later. The star backgrounds are a small stipple with the rest of the quilt is just SID...I have always wanted a Red/White/Blue quilts and with the happens of the Middle East I thought it was my time to show my pride....
Baskets of Love - My sister wanted a small quilt to have in the car with her as she has arthritis and loves to have her legs covered while travelling long distances
Quilt in progress - This top has now been hand quilted, and when bound will be donated to New Hope Village of Carroll, Iowa for their benefit auction in October, 2008. The basic block is Old Maid's Puzzle.
Crater Lake - Ricky Tims helped me design this quilt at his Rocky Mountain Quilt retreat in 2004. Crater Lake was where I had my first job . It was a stretch for me. My ideas are ahead of my skill level but with each new quilt I learn something.
Pink and Green - I made this gift for Robin Roberts of "Good Morning America"...when she announced that she had breast cancer I felt I needed to show my support by making her a place to snuggle under and get better.
Dancing Tulips - Sheer fabric incorporating purple chenille and gold thread tulips (salvaged from a thrift store blouse) is fused over commercial cotton print. Butterflies are beads. Inner border of piping covered with same commercial cotton fabric. Border is commercial cotton twill, binding is another commercial cotton print. Finished April, 2007.
Delectable Mountains - I had been gathering my favorite batiks and Amy Butler fabrics when I came across this pattern by Mabeth Oxenreider in American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine. I new it would be the perfect pattern to put all those favorite fabrics together in one place.
