Boxed Batiks - Made entirely of batiks, some from my stash, others bought specifically for this quilt. It has a Hobbs washable wool batting and is quilted with an all-over pebbles design. Each of my three children got to pick a quilt at Christmas 2009 and this was my daughter's favorite.

A Quodlibet for Winter - The biggest challenge in making this quilt was in finding 11 each of assorted dark and light batiks that "played well together." Solid black is used as sashing, borders and in some of the blocks. Of all the quilts I have made, this is probably my favorite. It was accepted in the 2010 Wisconsin Quilt Expo, my first quilt in a juried show. In case you're wondering, a quodlibet is a "whimsical combination of familiar melodies."

Bobby - I adopted this wonderful Akita mix when he was 12 years old. He was a very sweet old furry friend who let the cats walk all over him. Quilt was created from a photo.

my husbands beatles - made of batik and beatles fabric for my spouse as he loves the beatles.

braids and blocks - combined two different patterns using charm packs added sashing and border.

Animal Love - Pieced pin wheels and appliqued hearts, machine quilted. The pattern colors in the magazine were pink, lavender and white.

Unknown - I used some of my 1930's fat quarters which I didn't care that much for, but once the top was done I loved how it worked out. LOL

Log Cabin - Started quilt & finally completed quilting it! Quilt top went very fast! Used almost all Thimbleberry fabrics. Pins were in quilts for almost seven years. Only a few holes visible if you look closely but considering how long the pins were in the quilt I am lucky. I am very happy with this quilt!

Autumns Ponies - I used an applique pattern by Fat Cat Patterns and an applique pattern I drew along with the pinwheel block using my fabric choices

Trucks - I fussycut the truck blocks and then cut pieces to build the block to a 12" square and designed as I went along, until it was qpproximately a lap quilt size

Fairies in the Bottom of My Garden

My Paperdolls - I fussycut the paperdolls into oval shapes and blanket stitched them to the background rectangle. I added blocks to look symetrical and then did the borders in dimensions so that the quilt would measure approximatel 45" x 60" with minky for the backing. It was a Xmas gift for my niece.
