Love Those South Carolina Peaches! - I wanted to make a replica of my granddaughter's picture using fusing and fabric painting techniques I learned this summer from Lenore Crawford at the AQS Show in Knoxville, TN. I made one of her patterns first to learn how. This is the first time I have duplicated a person's picture in a quilt. I need to get more skin-tone fabrics!

Tree of Life - Made from half square triangles in our exchange.

Out my window - Challenge for my quild. Make a small quilt showing what you would like to see outside your window. Mine, bolts of fabric on trees, notion flowers, fat quarter bushes.

Through the Window - For my younger sister's 50th birthday, I set out to find a pattern and materials that would make her thrilled with her quilt. Thank you TQS for the Episode 710 with Laura Nownes where I found the perfect pattern for the perfect choice. I used Ricky Tim's commercial fabric for the central block fabric and "happened" to have what looks like the same pebble fabric as used in the pattern picture in my stash. A lot of prayer went into this quilt since I wanted her to be pleased with it and she was very happy. God bless Laura and Diana and Ricky.

Grand pianos quilt - This was my very first quilt and is based on the shape of a grand piano.

Josephine Symons' Heirloom Quilt - This quilt consists of all my own machine embroidery designs which I digitized in the Bernina Embroidery Software. Most of them are adaptations of my designs from my collection 'Floral Choices' and also a few are adaptations of designs which I created for the Brother Innovis 4000 embroidery machine and the Brother embroidery card 71 'Heirloom'.

Caveman Go - This quilt combines the free cutting style from Ricky's Caveman Quilt concept with some of the AccuQuilt Go shapes. I also painted the fabric here and there with Tsukineko pens and free motion quilted it.

Sounds By The Sea - Baby quilt gift for a coworker.

Pink Zinnia - This wall hanging is a result of a 'fabulous' class I took with Melinda Bula at Sisters, OR, this year. I recommend it to everyone -- so much fun. Even the free motion quilting was fun. I still need a little more practice, but it's coming along!!

Starring My Sister - My sister wanted a quilt for the tall two story wall next to the staircase that would pull together the colors in several rooms visible from that space. This quilt filled the bill and the country look of the appliqued border suited my sister's comfortable, homey personality. Thanks to Kim Diehl for the magazine pattern.

Midnight Garden - I ordered a kit. The quilt was designed by Jo Morton. I loved the colors, especially the tan and black toile.

Dog Daze - I like to make kids quilts. This quilt was a free pattern I found on fonsandporter.com. It was fun to make.

Stroke of Blue - Using my fabric like a paint brush stroke I created this fantasy flower. The design was then made into a pattern.

Tribute to my daughter Nina - My 17 year old daughter was killed in a Ford Explorer accident she was thrown out of the vehicle when it rolled she was with friends going on a picnic. It took me 10 long years to make as it was an emotional journey, I used her T-shirts and printed pics of her and her brother. She loved butterflies and purple so the fabrics I used around the shirts and pics were small pieces of many different butterfly fabrics. I still have to do the binding. I had it quilts by a lady named Karen Niemi she quilted butterflies flying all over the quilt. I hope one day to give it to her brother as a keepsake of his sister. I could not throw her clothes so being a quilter it was the only solution. It was hard to put together as its very busy with so many different types of clothes, I hope she likes what I did. I guess it took so long to make as I kept thinking I would find better ways to make it. Also, it was the last thing I could do to keep her memory. I encourage people to do this if they have lost a loved one.

Sunflowers in Autumn - "Sunflowers in Autumn" Fall Wall Quilt. An original design of mine, it is machine and hand pieced, quilted, has hand stitched beadwork along with some embroidery embellishment. I now have completed one small wall quilt to cover the front of our in-the-wall air conditioner unit for each of the four seasons. Always is so much fun completing any quilt project!

Radiant Rainbow - This was a free BOM on Carol Doaks' Yahoo group page. I love bright, bold colors. The sashing fabric is Ricky Tims! Currently in the San Diego Quilt show.

Make a Difference - A seascape based on 2 things: memories of my children (12yr & 7yr) at the beach & the story "The Star Thrower" by Loren Eiseley.
