COUSIN'S REUNION - I made this for a cousin's reunion in Aug. 2012 - one block for each state from which the cousins came to the reunion. Some blocks were traditional (Ohio Star, etc) and I designed some totally from scratch (ND & WA). We hung the quilt between US and ND flags on the cabin porch at the lake where the reunion was held and drew names for it at the end of the celebration. The blocks represent (from top left) 1st row:Ohio, North Dakota, California - 2nd row:Utah, New York City, Washington - 3rd row:Florida, Illinois and combined Arizona/New Mexico. I quilted in a couple of eagles, lots of stars, a New York beauty circle around center block and other symbols for each state block. The backing is like a North Dakota blue sky with fluffy white clouds. It was a big hit and luckily my son won the quilt so I will get to visit it occasionally. We had 4 generations at the reunion - from ages 5 to 81 - and a great time was had by all.

Chicken's own quilt - A sunshade for my girls and myself to enjoy and I can buy a lot more chicken fabric.

Egyptian Rhapsody - The applique was inspired by The Tentmakers of Cairo quilts of tulip patterns or fantastic birds which I have put in one quilt.

My quilt - My dear friend, Dawn, who lives in Oxford, MA sent me this pattern along with a stack of 5 inch squares from her stash. I used my favorite color (orange) to finish the mystery quilt and it now resides on my bed.

My First Quilt - I found Alex Anderson show at HGTV and loved watching it. At some point I decided to learn to quilt and after getting some books at the local library, considered it would be better to take a class at a LQS. This quilt was started in the first quilting class I took when we lived in Anchorage, AK. I decided to substitute some patches for photos that I printed in fabric. Formatted the photos with a sepia finish. It hungs in my kitchen. Can you tell I love hot and spicy food?
