Sweet Nectar - This quilt was designed in Karen McTavish's wholecloth class at MQS 2011. I put my first McTavishing in the middle to honor her. This was my first attempt at a wholecloth quilt and trapunto. I'm hoping it will be accepted into the MQS 2012 show.

New Directions with Noa - Quilt made to celebrate the new directions that a child brings and the many friends and family needed to bring up a child. Back has swooping free form flying geese. Free motion quilting includes paper-doll motifs holding hands in the border. This quilt was accepted and shown in the NQA 2012 Columbus Quilt Show special exhibit on Mariner Compasses.

Monkey Business - I adapted the published pattern to make a cuddle quilt for my granddaughter rather than a twin size quilt. In the process, I also changed the border.

Rainbow of a Celtic Cross - This was a wonderful quilt to make but the quilt came to life with Sherrie's wonderful quilting. Each color has a different style of feathers that are quilted with variegated thread to match the colorway. I found the pattern in Quilts with Style by Liz Schwortz & Stephen Seifert Nov/Dec 2006.

Bugs for E.V. - I made this quilt for my four year old grandaughter who loves the outdoors and all its creatures large and small. I was so proud that it squared up perfectly. Not usually the case. I had it loaded on my longarm ready to quilt. Then I learned that my new longarm was coming the next day so I decided to unload and wait to quilt on my new system. I began unpinning and then decided to cut away the excess batting at the bottom. OMGosh, I didn't just do that. OMGosh, I DID just do that. At this point, I'm feeling feint, nauseous, my heart is pounding. OK, sit down, breathe, keep breathing.... Stay tuned.

Festival of Flowers - I started this quilt as a sampler quilt to try out different applique methods -and it grew and grew! I have used all Kaffe Fasset fabrics for the appliques. It has been done using quilt-as-you-go methods.

Tea Party - We were furnished the teapot block pattern and could add anything to make a challenge for guild show. I added teapot and quilt blocks from embroidery machine.

Forever Pals - Made for Miranda, a family friend, who kindly and patiently grooms my dog, Tonka for free! I wanted to give her a little somthing to say 'thank 'you'. This was my first machine applique and machine quilted quilt.

Stars for a New Day by Sue Garmen - I used my own color choices based on nuetrals and material gathered on outings with special friends.

Tabbies - I received the pattern and kit for Christmas. This quilt was a lot of fun to make.

Puzzles and Games - This little quilt is the Spring Challenge 2012 at our quilt guild. The fabric given to us was a small square of male and female cardinals, with blue sky and pine branches. I put one bird in the corner and cut the remainder of the fabric, and some coordinating additional fabric, into little squares to resemble a slide the tile picture puzzle. I then added a wide border, twisted the block and added the gingham border to resemble a checked tablecloth. I embroidered the words "Cocoa and Cookies", "Puzzles and Games", "At the kitchen table", "On a wintry afternoon."

Conner's Space Quilt - A fun, bright quilt for our 2nd grandchild using a favorite fabric saved for a special person.

Love Song - I loved using this pattern to teach beginner quilters new techniques. This is a free downloadable pattern on the Hoffman Fabrics website. www.hoffmanfabrics.com I, however, used Tonga Treats in this quilt. This quilt hung in The Square Quilter quilt shop for over a year! Bill Daniel quilted the quilt in lieu of the top hanging in the shop!
