Forgotten Heros - This is my 1st entry into a contest. It hung on the wall of a museum for 1 year. I entered thinking I would get feedback on how to better my work.
Log Cabin Challenge - This year's Guild challenge was to make a quilt using supplied red fabric and no applique. I don't care for log cabin so challenged myself to make this pattern.
Debbie's Teacups - My friend Debbie wanted a quilt for her spare bedroom, named her Teacup Room. I found various teacup patterns, then placed them on a saucer with doilies, laces and other trims. Each one sets on its own shelf, just like in Debbie's Bedroom.
I am the vine. - I wanted to depict the richness of the vineyard. Pieced background from Traditions with a Twist book and original design for applique.
Panda Family - This quilt was made for my first grandson, drawn by my talented son, Jon. The panda family represents my son, daughter-in-love, and my wonderful grandson. And they are fuzzy!
Bethleham - I bought this royalty free illustration and adapted it for this banner. Used freezer paper pattern and lots of registration marks to put it together.
Thanksgiving church banner - Our church built a new sanctuary and I needed to make much bigger banners. This was made to celebrate our thankfulness for our new place of worship. Flowers are made with Texture magic.
Cherry Blossom church banner - A spring banner made for my church. Drew the branches and then started adding cherry blossoms. Some are fused flat and others are dimensional.
In the Jungle - I bought a quilt panel from JoAnn's with the monkey appliques, cut them out to use in my own quilt. Also wanted to try curved piecing, so just started cutting and sewing.
Chinese Parasols - Needed a new quilt for our wall, so drew this and used freezer paper for the pattern. Some of the ribs of the parasols are dimensional. And it is quilted with a bamboo pattern in the border.
Dinio Flowers - This was made as a wedding present for a friend's neice. Their colors were tangerine and royal purple. They liked oriental things. This is the only limitations I had in making the quilt.
