Childs - I play World of Warcraft and our guild this year has a challenge for our 25th year so I thought good chance to try art quilting and what do I like to do just as much as quilt while Play WOW. Then our guild had a guest speacker and another challenge was given make a quilt about your inner self . AWsome I thought I have already started so this quilt fits both challenges and could be the first ever World of Warcraft Quilt . It was alot of fun . The quilt is called * Childs * after the name of my toon in the game who is a goblin priest .

Floral Bouquet - The Central floral wreath comes from Deborah Kemball's book Beautiful Botanicals. I adapted another idea from the book for the corner triangles. Apart from the white fabric all other fabrics are batiks. All of the applique is done by hand and it is machine quilted on a domestic Pfaff machine.

Glory to God - Fabric interpretation of original stained glass window in church. Created with permission from the Willets Glass Co. Started 2010 and finished 2011. Fun project.

America The Beautiful - This was my second ever Challenge Quilt for a guild. The theme was Patriotic, and it was given to a local soldier. I was extremely honored to make this for a deserving recipient.

Woody - The Border Collie - This is my original design based on a Melinda Bula technique.

Food Quilt Front - Made this quilt for my neice & her husband - both foodies. It was fun to collect the food-themed fabrics.

Untitled - I fell in love with Hawaiian applique after a class with Nancy Chong. I discovered and selected a few patterns from the website of Poakalani, I appliqued my favorite blocks from my purchase and eventually they made their way into a quilt.

Hugs & Kisses - A 1-block study with Sandy Bonsib. The class was provided with a grid based on one traditional quilt block. Each student designed their own quilt.

Five a Day for Life - It took several years of collecting veggie fabrics before I had enough to make this project. The blocks were fussy cut so that each vegetable can be identified. The concentric squares are different colors and contain all the veggies I could find for that color. It is a kitchen wall hanging.

The Pink Ribbon - Quilt started in 1-block class study with Sandy Bonsib. Our challenge was to take a grid comprised of one block and design a quilt. The 10 stars represent 10 years since an early diagnose and treatment for an early stage of breast cancer detected in an annual mammogram. This quilt was recently gifted to a friend who was just diagnosed with breast cancer.

Cabin by the Lake - THis wall hanging was my first attempt at bargello. I took a class from Ann Lauer from Grizzlly Gulch Gallery and was the only one that attempted this design. I used Angelina fibers for the snow on the mountains and on the lights in the windows. This was a very intimadating quilt for me, I got the main quilt done but was afraid to start the free motion quilting next to the raw edges of the appliqued pieces so I entered this piece in our local quilt show so that I would have to finish it, which I did!!!

Pat's Vision - Batiks made this pattern come alive, the colors just seem to pop off the quilt. I made this quilt for my cousin for her bed and she paired it with black dust ruffle and pillow shams to complete the look. This was my first BQ pattern and I would make more quilts from this pattern.

Butterfly Dreams - I had so much fun piecing this quilt. I used jelly rolls and made 3-D butterflies that matched to the outer boarder. My first original design and my first use of 3-D. I have only been quilting for the last 2yrs. and thanks to my Mother who said"Just take one class, if you don't like it, I will quit bugging you to try and become a quilter" well she created a whole new me with that first class!
