Happy Christmas to All - This is the sample quilt of a Jelly Roll Race class I taught at a local sewing machine store, Upland Vac & Sew. Once the race was over, Santa, the moon, stars, and the last line of T'was the Night Before Christmas" was machine appliqued. On my computer, I found the patterns for the applique from a Free Clipart site.
Lady by the Sea - This is 30" square quilted wall hanging. This is a hand painted batik is painted by Puteri Noor (on March 30, 2011). She named it "Lady by the Sea" This is machine quilted and bordered with a beautiful turquoise cotton and a string of turquoise crystals.
Butterflies and Sashiko - I love doing both sashiko and applique. I often visit Sylvia Pippen's web site to see her new designs. This one
truly caught my eye. It was one of her kits and the marbled fabrics by Marjorie Lee Bevis are so beautiful and amazing. This small wall hanging hangs in our family room.
Completely Dotty - I was never interested in making a quilt with curved piecing until I saw this pattern. Once I started I wondered why I shied away from curves for so long. This is a fun pattern to make. It is from Piece O' Cake Designs and Becky Goldsmith had made it for her niece. It hangs in my family room and everyone remarks on it and loves it.
Faux Log Cabin - My goal was to make a quilt without buying any fabric as my stash was quickly growing. This was also my first attempt at stippling on my new Bernina.

Eleven Eleven Eleven - Piecing finally completed on Veteran's Day 2011. Project had been a UFO for years until, with Alex's suggestions at the Houston Quilt Show, I turned to fused, machine applique to finish the partially completed stumbling block center panel. Once that hurdle was overcome, the rest of the piecing went quickly.
Sweet-16 sit-down long-arm arrived and this was the first quilt done with it! I especially loved outline quilting leaves in the print sections.
Bush Quilt - I had seen a photo of the design in a magazine and thought it was simple. Money was tight so I used curtains, table clothes and garage sale fabrics to put this together. I use this one every day.
