Woodland Creatures - Started in 2005 but moved so finished in 2011. My first ever entry into a quilt show and won 1st place, second quilt show won Best Use of Color and Viewer's Choice, 3rd quilt show won Honorable Mention. Sewn entirely by machine.

Mum's Quilt - I made this quilt for my Mum using embroidered blocks. The pictures on each block represent my memories of Mum eg: cooking, gardening, beautiful blue dress etc. I used calico and the border was a piece of material Mum gave me years ago to make a dress with.

Candy Apple - White squares are embroided with various quilting patterns.

Frosty Night variation - The original pattern had a diamond border around the feathered star. I opted to change it to the square border. The original pattern also had curtain hanger decorations where I have appliqued the hearts.

Maasai - The center fabric panel and coordinating border fabrics were purchased in 2006. I also machine pieced the borders around the panel and sandwiched the top back in 2006. At that time, I had no experience in machine quilting and my initial attempts were unsuccessful. So, I got frustrated and stopped. This year, I decided to complete this UFO in time for it to be displayed in my guild's upcoming Quilt EXPO in March 2013. The fabric panel is heavily free motion quilted, but the borders are mainly quilted in the ditch. This is the first quilt that I free motion quilted without the aid of any quilt markings or pinned on paper designs.

Cat and Mouse Quilt - It’s hard to resist a tasty slice of cheddar, but these little mice are living dangerously, with 4 cats close at hand. http://quiltingupacreek.webs.com/shop.htm

Quilting is; good fun; good for you - In Lauren's class I learned how to make a small wall quilt that would be a base for embellishments that she is teaching. There was a chance to use the fancy stitches on the sewing machine, different ways of beading, adding embroidery threads and how to use the lettering to add a note of fun. It was a great learning experience.

Dreamquilt - Love at first sight when I saw the pattern

Getting Along - Art quilt based off a photograph of my children on a rare day when they were actually getting along.

QM's Chantelle - This is my first attempt at "caveman" piecing and now I am hooked!
