Golden Memories - Made for our 50th High School reunion this year. Golden Memories was our year book title. My husband and I were in the same class.

Look What I Found - Created from vintage neckties. Crazy quilt technique. Displayed by vintage gloves.

Golden Highlights - With its pieced background and blossoms created from assorted notions and fabrics, this quilt is the newest addition to my Bodacious Blossoms class at Quiltuniversity.com that begins 4/15/11.

Memory of Dad - A picture quilt to honor my father and mother's early years together while he was serving in the military in WWII

Bottom of the Sea - 4 ladies played "Whispers" - each creating a quilt using someone else's for inspiration. The fun was seeing if the 4th person's quilt was anything like the first person's. We played this 4 times of course and got 16 very original quilts. This quilt was a personal challenge because I don't do much embellishing usually - but I really love it! The background fabric did a lot of the work!!

Coxcombs and Berries - I cut this pattern out of an older issue of the magazine to make someday. I finally got the nerve up to tackle it and I'm pleased with the finished quilt top. Now...how to quilt around all that applique????

Precious Pink - I made this lap size quilt for my brand new great grandbaby Alana. Sometimes the most stunning quilts are simple and plain patterns impacted by the colors you choose. This was the case with this particular quilt. One of the simplest I've ever made but also one of the most stunning.

Lavender Blue

Flip Flops - I saw the pattern for the flip flops a long time ago and had cut it out of the magazine to make at a later date.

Batik leaves

Log cabin

Fall Memories - I made this quilt for my brother who lives far, far away from me. It was my first attempt at using quick bias.

Rainbow Bright - I used the disappearing 9-Patch technique in Two from One Jelly Roll Quilts to create the squares. From there I designed my original wall hanging.

VICTORIAN BED RUNNER - Made from embroidered blocks reminisent of the victorian age

Greenery - This quilt started with making the center Dresden Plate block as an experiment using a tutorial I found on the internet ( http://lurlineg.blogspot.com/2009/12/dresden-plate-tutorial.html ). Then the idea of using partial Dresden Plates to make the curve going round the center developed into this completed quilt. The straight line quilting in the Dresden Plates looks like a dahlia on the back of the quilt. The white with tiny green dots background was quilted with feathers. All this you can see in more detail here: quiltsbyjoyce.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/greenery/ I had quite a stash of greens and a number of green scraps that went into the plates. The partial plates were sewn together into the curve and then appliqued to the background.

Bassenach - Artist, photographer and friend Karyn Bassett took a photo of the bottom of a boat that was sitting on blocks in a boatyard. I liked the colors and textures in her photo, so used it as the jumping off place for this little quilt.

Ruby's Quilt - A quilt made for my dear friend's first born. I love to use tumbling blocks for babies quilts. The quilt was made from my many scraps from the countless babies quilts I have made over the last few years for 4 grandchildren and countless grand nieces and nephews. They can all stop breeding for a while and let me get some quilts made for me.
