Inconceivable (Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow) - Created for the MicroCosmos challenge, these quilts represent my personal infertility journey. They were accepted into the show and were displayed at Tims Art Quilt Studio an Gallery.
My Fancy Fans - Queen size quilt for my guest bed. Several modifications from the pattern in the book include: a straight edge instead of the scalloped edge in the pattern, more "open space" for quilting, and larger than pattern. Solid pink backing shows hand quilting off beautifully.
Appalachian Stars - Inspired by long distance gas balloon flights, spending hours overnight 3 miles up in the sky in a wicker basket, navigating by the stars, while my husband waits at home in Pennsylvania.
Country Sampler - This was a year long project that we did in my quilting group. Each person made their own quilt. Each quilt had its own personality with different fabrics. Lots of fun.
Colorado Backproch BOM - This was a block of the month project from the Colorado Backporch website. About half way through the year they put out a challenge to make it a contest. This quilt earned the "Viewers Choice" prize.
A Window for Oma - I made this quilt for my mother's 80th birthday. At the time, she was living in a retirement facility and unless she was standing next to a window, she had no view. As a result, I made "A Window for Oma".
Drunk In Bali - I love Batiks and I wanted a pattern where I could use as many as possible in one quilt. This seemed to be the answer. It was my first attempt at sewing curves, and after as many as there are in this quilt, I came up with the name of my quilt... after a few glasses of wine!!
Autumn Splendor - I was inspired by the fall colors of the trees in my back yard and selected Batik fabrics (my favorites!) to express the beauty I saw in those trees. The Bargello pattern mimics the beautiful movement of the breezes rustling the leaves.
