Mandelay Bay

red, white, and black allover - The center started out with four square in a square blocks as the first round in a round robin, each progressive round was added by four other members of the Urban Bush Quilters small quilt group as part of a year long group project. Each round had specific guidelines, such as rectangles, putting block on point, applique, etc.

Mystery Quilt

Made as a Christmas 2006 present for Cindy my sons girfriend. Used her favorite colors of greens and reds with some creams.

Hearts Afire - I put this quilt together with fabrics in my stash. I quilted it with my HQ16 and PC quilter. I digitized a heart pattern to use in the quilting.

"What's Outside Your Window" - I wanted to see what would happen if I combined Ricky's two techniques, Caveman and Convergence. This quilt is first in a series and the only one quilted at this time. It won a first place ribbon in our local quilt show in March 2007.

Enchanted Garden - I can't stop....and have made another! This piece is 9x12 and was quilted on my APQS hand guided quilting system. The coloring was done after the quilting with markers.

Mary's Quilt - Made as a shop sample to showcase fabric and machine embroidery designs done on a Bernina 730E. To date the "quilting" is only machine embroidery, but additional quilting is needed.

Bear's Paw - I believe this is from a Quilt In A Day book of directions.

Log Cabin - 25 1/2 x 25 1/2 quilt made for the Country Cabin directions in the Little Quilts All Through The House by Alice Berg, Mary Ellen Von Holt and Sylvia Johnson. Fun to make using scrap fabrics, lap quilted easily without a hoop. One of the log fabrics has faded greatly over time. It does, however, sit in a sunny spot near a window, beneath a Singer Featherweight.

Veggie Garden - This quilt is a combination of two basic things ... comfort and food. I love the Veggi fabric patterns available and had fun making this quilt.

"Fishing at Yellowstone" - This quilt is based on a photo that I took on a trip to Yellowstone Nat. Pk. a few years ago. It is done using mostly raw edged machine applique overlayed with some tulle and sheer fabrics for shading. The bison are hand painted right onto the background, the elk are hand painted then fused on, and the fisherman is hand painted then hand appliqued on. The quilting is done with 30 wt. rayon. This piece was a gift to my husband and also won Best of Show and People's Choice in a local quilt show.

"My Sister's Eyes" - Lucy's eyes are big and beautiful and I have always wanted to honor them with a quilt. Last year my skills finally matched my vision. I hand dyed the fabrics used.
