Safari - My first attempt at freeform strip piecing to create a quilt for Simon's crib. He loves the color and the animals.

Beach Cruiser - Design by Chris Cruz for trunk of PT Cruiser. Photo was taken then enlarged to make this quilt for my husband to remember his car.

Busy Baby - The quilt is an activity quilt for babies for use in the early years when they are learning to use their hands. Most blocks include an 'action' item. The back is primarily black and white for the newborn.

Tribute to Michael Jackson and Myriah - I was asked to make a quilt with a Michael Jackson theme, the back would be a memory quilt for her daughter andd she like yellow and red. I found from J and O legends and its a stitch fabric like the dance, money, green, wiz, thriller, bubbles, music and collected fabric that had bits of Michael Jackson's life, including Elvis and the Beatles, ABC. The back I combined pictures of Myriah;s family and her friends using a fabric designed by a blind artist George Mendoza and art of possibilty 2009 collection . I used photos of both Michael Jackson and Myriah to complete the theme

Boeboe - This is an appliqued dog portrait made with fabric, satin-stitched, and including a little bit of thread painting where the fabric did not quite do the job with details. I quilted free-style hearts in the background fabric.

Roses for Me!!! - I was not the intended owner of this quilt. However by the time I had completed it I could not part with it. Hence Roses for me!!!!. I have used numerous Rose fabric prints. Flowers and leaves are added to embellish the center and outer boarders of the quilt. They are all hand made and embroidered to add more texture and details so that the leaves are as real looking. They certainly add further dimension to the quilt. The center panel is on point and the green of the leaves is well represented in the quilt as well. The binding is initially sewn onto the base using a sewing machine and the back is hand sewn.
