Garden Path - All blocks pieced on 1941 Singer 15-88 Treadle; hand-appliqued; long-arm quilted. Every year I make a large quilt as a Christmas present for a member of the family. This went to my BIL/SIL. I added a border (no border was called for in the pattern), because I wanted it bigger and I didn't really care for how it looked without one.

Spencer's Lone Star - This is my SIL's (Patty) first quilt! She made it for her son's (Spencer) 21st birthday. It turned out so wonderful, nice and flat and beautifully pieced! I had the pleasure to quilt it....faux trapunto in the setting triangles and blocks, freehand feathers in the center and borders. When my SIL saw the quilt she loved the way it turned out. She then deciced that Spencer would have to wait to get the quilt when he got married...a 21 year old bachelor wouldn't appreciate all the work that went into the quilt...he needed a wife to help him understand how great this quilt is!! Poor Spencer....he got a nice utility quilt to love until he gets the wife thing! Tee-Hee!

Christmas Tulips - My version of Spring Star, called Christmas Tulips, is 13" square. Spring Star is from Judy Martin's book "Shining Star Quilts".

Genna's quilt - Made for youngest daughter for Xmas 2005. Backing is the same color as border.

Leftovers - This quilt is our couch quilt. I made it using only the scraps from a quilt I made my daughter for Christmas of 2005.

Floral Fantasy - This is my first large floral quilt. I purchased the fabrics at Eleanor Burns' studio in June, 2006. The quilt will hang in the Capitol Quilt Show in Denver, CO from March 5-April 25, 2007.

Happy Halloween - My original quilt design, embroidery designs from Boo to You Embroidery Collection. I enlarged the designs too large for the embroidery hoop, split them in the Bernina Embroidery softeware. Some of the blocks were embroidered by re-hooping the fabric and some I embroidered using the Quilter's Double Wide Hoop It All hoop.

HIA Quilt - The pieced blocks are my original as is the layout of the quilt. The embroidery designs came from the Quilting Inspiration Embroidery Collection by Karyn Emmerson.

Latte Quilt - I created this quilt when I was one of the American testers for the Bernina artista 200 machine. My assignment was to test the Mega Hoop. All blocks were created in the software and then embroidered on the artista 200 with the Mega Hoop. Some of the blocks were rehooped as many as five times. We then turned it into a quilt block of the month embroidery software class. This class is still at www.berninausa.com_on-line classes_Latte Quilt Block of the month.

Memories of Irene - Irene is my friend in Wales. Sharon is my good friend in Victoria who knew I was sending a quilt to Irene, and challenged me to use Irene's colours but in shades and patterns that reminded me of Irene. It was hard to work in someone else's colours, but I loved the result, and made another for me. That way I think of Irene when I look at it, and Irene has to think of me when she looks at hers! Isn't that what friendship is all about?
