Anniversary Quilt - I just started machine quilting on my new ProFlex frame. This is my first attempt at feathers.

Monterrey Medallions in Batiks

"Quilt Diva Caricature" - An artist friend drew a caricature of each guild member and we adapted the Amy Bradley "Quilt Diva" pattern to represent ourselves, "The Quilting Diva's". Sew much fun!

Tendin' to Lilacs - Long ago my Granny Frost told me that Lilacs is what heaven smells like. So, when I found this fabulous lilac fabric at my local quilt store I had to have some. My sister cousin and I both lived with and were loved by our Granny. She was a feisty woman. My sister cousin lives in Oregon and I went for a visit with the specific purpose of having her quilt this on her long arm quilter. We dedicate this to our Granny with much love.

Matthew's Quilt - The bright star colors in my grandson's quilt were chosen from the colors in the Noah's Ark print in the border. Stars were chosen because that is all Noah could see.

Plaid Bear Paw - This was the first quilt I hand quilted, I just finished, it took me 9 years or so to handquilt. Got bored with it! Ding Dong the Quilt is Done!

Spiralling into convergence - I made the top of this quilt in a Quilt in a Day class at my LQS last summer. It languished in the closet over the winter until I decided how I wanted to finish it. The quilting is done with rayon embroidery floss, in a feather stitch spiraling outward from the center of the quilt, completely by hand. There is a bit of machine quilting in the borders, then spirals are hand-quilted in each of the corner blocks. This is my third completed quilt project, and I could not be more pleased with the results.

Hokie Hope block - This is the first block I have received for the Hokie Hope project. We need 384 blocks in total. If you can help, please email me! The specs for the project are described in my post on the This and That forum, "Virginia Tech comfort quilts" subject line. Thanks!
