TRIP AROUND THE WORLD

LEMON & LIME SORBET

Peppermint Chocolate - I made this quilt as a gift to be raffled to help raise funds for a local charity.

Praying For Peace For Johnny - I began this applique flower of one of Nancy Lee Chong's designs in a Hawaiian applique class. When my best friend Therese told me her son was in Hospice and asked me to pray for Peace for Johnny, I knew I had to finish this little quilt for her. Johnny did pass on November 16, 2013 and we all know he is at Peace now. Peace signs have been symbols Therese and I have been sharing since 1970.

Shelby's Florida Room - This lovely quilt was made for my daughter's bedroom in our Florida home. It was designed by one of the owners of my local NY quilt shop and featured in BHG Quilt Sampler magazine.

Sweet Indulgence - I love china and dessert! This was a quilt that had to be. Reworked pattern to be able to use the tea cups and desserts as blocks. I did trapunto work around each cup and dessert. Machine quilted on my domestic machine.

Citrus Summer - Used the Li'l Twister tool

Spring

De Colores - Many Kaffe Fasset fabrics

A walk in the woods

Darian's Graduation Quilt - This quilt was made with love for our first grandchild upon high school graduation. I just chose colors she and I both love, and created it as I went along. I did use the AccuQuilt Go cutter, with a roses die and accompanying embroidery designs made to go with the resultant applique shapes.

Victorian Gone Plum Decadent - This was started in a class in Bismarck, then the blocks were put together during a sewing day with friends in Tucson, so many memories associated with this quilt. It was also less accurate than I could accept, due to all the gabbing during the assembly of the blocks. I took my mother-in-law's advice to 'NEVER BE AFRAID TO REVERSE SEW', so it was virtually reconstructed after the top was assembled. And it would have been less time and work to make a new quilt from scratch, but what a feeling of satisfaction to see it put right. I'm so glad I did.

Ode to Nancy Odom - This was a project made in a class taught by Nancy Odom at our annual quilt show. We were given the templates in the class, so I do not know the name of the pattern.

Moonglow - This is my 3rd hand-pieced quilt. It ws offered as a Block-of-the-Month at our local quilt shop.

Shades of the 30's - This quilt was a Block of the Month at our local quilt shop. It is my 2nd hand-pieced quilt.

Purple Baby Jane - This is my first hand pieced quilt. It was quilted by Lori Housel, a friend of Harriet Hargrave.
