Derek's Embroidered Alphabet

Romance - I made this from the very popular Yellow Brick Road pattern. Again, as a member of my small church group, we all made the same pattern using individual fabric choices. I love the soft romantic feel of the floral prints. This is currently on my frame being hand quilted in a crosshatch pattern in the large central area. Will probably do something viney on the inner border and maybe feathers on the outer.

Heavenly Nine-Patch - I made this quilt in the first workshop I ever took. We met once a week for six weeks to work on our quilts. After I got tired of working on it and had gone on to another project, my Mom was kind enough to finish quilting it for me.

Ohio Star - I made this quilt while a member of a small church quilting group. We all used the same pattern, but chose different fabrics. It was a lot of fun to see how many different ways the pattern could be interpreted.

Wuthering Heights Beauty - I made this quilt from the Wuthering Heights collection by Moda (and a few fabrics from my stash). I love the romantic pinks and turquoise combination and the matching pillow sets it off. The bed it is on belonged to my grandfather and I have wonderful memories of playing on it as a child.

Pioneer Patches - This pattern is from a "weekend quilt" book belonging to someone else that I just got a few minutes to look at. I sketched the pattern and made it later from memory. This quilt top was put on an antique frame and used in a museum quilt exhibit at the Oklahoma Museum of History. After it came off exhibit, I quilted it by hand. It now hangs on my kitchen wall.

Bears At My Log Cabin - Center of quilt from Home for the Harvest by Smith & Milligan; top and bottom borders Log Cabin traditional, side borders traditional Flying Geese; corners Pine Tree

Lisa's Quilt - 2" strips of colors sewing together, large blocks have embrodiery of what Lisa loves. She loves the Grateful Dead. She has brain tumors and she loves the Quilt, it gives her comfort.

Christmas Left Overs - Leftover Christmas material was used to creat this mini quilt

The Loonie - This was made for a challenge based on currency. My inspiration is the commom loon found on the back of the Canadian one-dollar coin.

At My Grandmother's Table - A narrative of my Grandmother's life including her coming to this country by ship in 1920, falling in love and marrying, her skill at baking and needle work, and her love of red carnations, fresh fruit and playing dice games. The pieced tablecloth is the pattern Broken Dishes representing her unrealized dreams in life.
