Tyler - Designed from a doggy quilt block I saw on Simply Quilts on TV. The three dogs on the quilt are fashioned after my Dalmatian, my son's Golden Lab, and my other son's Rottie. The cats are just along for the ride.

Lily Rose - My cousin Sarah in Buffalo NY has a grandaughter named Lilly Rose. Last year Lilly Rose moved with her Mommy and Daddy to Texas. I made this little quilt to help my dear cousin cope with Lilly's absense. It hangs over her bed.

Sleepy Bears - 100% cotton. This was fashioned after a pattern I fouund in a quilting magizine. I made it for my grandson.

Pink Sunshine - Being of an obsessive compulsive nature, I spent time making sure that no two of the blocks were made of the same fabric combination, and that no fabric appeared twice in the same row!! Although this quilt was designed to fill the 'April' gap in my display a quilt each month dining room wall, a dear friend fell in love with it, and it now resides in his home.

All about my mum - Blocks of hearts surrounded by applique

PePe - PePe joined our family in 2005. He has become my constant companion and my "heart dog". After losing our rescued greyhound, Anna, to a seizure, I desperately needed another canine companion. PePe fills the bill. He seemed like an appropriate subject for the first in my pet series. I started with a drawing of PePe and reviewed my fabric collection to bring him into focus. Photos of PePe printed on fabric with an inkject printer are featured in the border. I had just gotten my new Aurora 440 and had to try out the available stitches. After the image was appliqued, I felt it needed further definition, so I couched black pearl cotton around the figure.

Cat Quilt #1 - One of the first quilts I ever made--because I didn't know any better! All paper peiced--still not comepletely quilted!

Flower Pounded Medley - God made the flowers and leaves which were pounded with a hammer to stain the fabric.

Folk Art Quilt

Will & Way - My son wanted an original quilt designed by me for his wedding. I had been trying to make the un-named at the time quilt, but it was too advanced for me. When he gave me a month to make it for the wedding, I figured out a way to do it. Therefore, I named it Will & Way.

Buzz Saw

Japanese Springtime - This quilt was start in 2006 and just recently completed. This was made for my daughters birthday, because she loves blue & purple. I first bought this Japanese print fabric and then later found the companion fabrics. Diana Wood quilted this quilt with a long-arm machine and use varigated purple thread. She did a beautiful job.

ST George Chervon - adapted from original example given in Carole Liebzeit's class on color developement. A bright and colorful labor of love.

Log Cabinz - This is my very first completed quilt. There were two others before it but I never finished either one. This one was fun!

Row your quilt - Old-fashion row quilt made from 30"s reproduction prints. This quilt was pieced and hand quilted by Bobi.

Transportation - I found this great fabric by Michael Miller Fabrics. All the colors reminded me of comic book colors. I just cut the fabric apart and added sashing, batting and a back. What a fun quilt for a small boy, or maybe a girl? This quilt was donated to Dolphin House for the abused children.

Octagon - This was a class challenge to take one quilt block design, change the colors and then design an original quilt.

1816 Quilt - Made in 1816 by a great great grandmother of mine. It is a large quilt - sesigned when the bed was the center of the home, so they were made large to come down to the floor and hide the trundles and/or pallet beds stored underneath. This quilt has faded in some areas but is remarkably well-preserved. I have workd with margo Drager of Reproductionfabrics.com in Bozeman. MT to find authentic reproduction fabrics for that time. The sashing is still bright green, but the small check was originally green and beige, but the colors leached out. The pinks and other colors are still bright. There is some fabric breakage on the fold lines, but still magnificent.
