Carmen - Made for a friend who had lost her husband. She chose colours, which was a challenge. I could not have done it without my supportive mum in law. Thanks mum!

Natalia - Second quilt I made, on same weekend I made my 1st. For a baby called Natalia. Wanted to make a Sunbonet Sue so drew pattern from my own imagination.

Mia Louise - Made this quilt for my daughter's preschool teacher as a gift for her new baby. The baby was named MIA LOUISE and the colours were perfect for her room!

Weekend Log Cabin - My first quilt ever and it has never been quilted. Maybe one day when there are no more quilts to make............

Star Wars - Made this for my hubby who loves Star Wars.

Jacobs Quilt - I saw this pattern in Quilters Magazine and I knew I wanted to make it for my grandson. He loves to go out in his daddy's boat. I even put a picture of him sitting in his daddy's boat to personalize it for him.

Ndovu - Ethnic crazy patch inspired by Afro Dizzy art movement

Japanese Snapshots - Japanses fabrics, different folding techniques

Feathered Splendor - This quilt evolved from the many years of taking classes as well as the many hours quilting on my long-arm. "Feathered Splendor" was truly a journey and a pleasure to design and quilt.

One Beige Ball - I used a picture of my daughter buried in one of those ball pits that kids love to play in. It is hand appliqued and machine quilted.

Backyard Habitat - Backyard Habitat was made for my friend Marbe for her 50th wedding anniversary. We both have habitats registered with the Natl Wildlife Federation. I retrieved some of the patterns for paper piecing online but others I drew them up myself. It's a wall hanging.

Dimensional Roses - Design was made to teach dimensional applique at Quilt University and at a local shop. The centers of both roses stand away from surface approximately 1". The petals are stuffed tightly and rolled over gold gilded silk ribbon for red rose, turned, stuffed over sheer glitter fabric in yellow rose. Bud is rolled satin ribbon.

Midnight Fantasy Garden - Quilt was designed to iuse as sample to teach advanced applique using sheer fabrics and various types of embellishment. I am presently preparing to make up and sell kits of these hard-to-find fabrics from my Web site. Lame, organza, lace, Angelina fibers, silk, bridal fabrics and silk ribbons are used. Quilt is machine appliqued and quilted.

Log Cabin Quilt-in-a-Day - The first quilt class I took. Started it in June 2002 for my sister-in-law for Christmas. Gave her the queen-size top for Christmas 2002, but didn't finish quilting and binding it until Christmas 2003. She was a good sport and happy to have it - even though it was a year late.

Moose Junction - My first applique quilt. Won 3rd place in local quilt show for applique quilts

Gingersnaps - Won 2nd place in local quilt show.
