A Joyful Baltimore Christmas - These are small Baltimore Album style blocks appliqued using back-basting techniques. The border treatment is of my design using a swag pattern from a book (have no idea which one) and enlarging elements of Connie Sue Haidle's patterns. Feathers, channel stitching, cross-hatching, outline, and echo quilting comprise the quilting scheme. Over 356 yards of Sulky 12-weight thread is hand-quilted into the top. It took most of 2009 to applique and half of 2010 to hand-quilt.

Sally's gone Fishing - My sister-in-law aided me in constructing this for my cousin.

Cows for Nancy - Cows and cow sceines bordered with solids and pieced fabrics with cows. Binded using backing and mitered corners.

Snowman Quilt - The snowman was created with raw edge applique and I used fusible fleece under him to make him more fluffy. I machine quilted him with my Bernina 440. This quilt was a milestone for me since it is all free motion quilting with my own quilt designs. I used Isacord thread and Superior Thread in the quilting. The fringe on the scarf was made with DMC floss.

Satupuun kesäkuu - I made this wall quilt in summer 2010. Name of it in English is something like: "Enchanted Tree in June". It was in Finn Quilt summer show in Mikkeli. Background fabric is linen and applique is made with fusible web and machine (blanket) stitch with machine embroidery thread.

Hot Dog! - On the way home from a retreat in the summer of 2011, my sister and I stopped at Millhouse Quilts, and I challenged myself to make a quilt entirely from their sale room, including the pattern book. (I did buy the sashing/border fabric at full price because it was just too perfect!) I gave the pieced top to my husband for Christmas that year, but then it sat on the shelf because I was afraid to quilt something that big! In February of this year, I decided the time had come, and finished it. I chose the colors for Wisconsin sports teams (green and gold for the Packers and red for Wisconsin) figuring we would wrap up in it while watching our big screen. All I could think of when I was working on it was ketchup, mustard and pickle relish, so I named it "Hot Dog!" We love it.

Crown Chakra - This GFG top is almost finished. It's pieced by hand and I'm going to hand quilt it. I've already bought the fabric for the next GFG: red and white toiles.

2010 Round Robin - This is my appliqued/pieced center with four other borders added by members of my local quilting guild. I turned it in November and got it back at our annual June picnic. Needless to say, I was quite happy with the end result. It is now proudly displayed in my great room.
