Using hand-dyed cottons and 30 weight thread to create leaves and colorful quilting on backgrouns

This quilt is just for fun it is raw edged .The back ground is crazy pieced. Shiloh was  sleeping out on the deck.  I have a lot of gardens so with that comes all the critters.

I chose a simple nine patch for this quilt to show off the quilting.  I designed the quilting after taking Lisa Calle's class on iquilt.

This is pieced, appliqués, painted and thread painted. A gift for my sister. I grew up not knowing my sister and she found me 2 years ago. We live on opposite coasts of the US. The quilt represents the love that binds us now and the yearning to have been these 2 little girls growing up together. The quilt is filled with emotion and love for each other. 

I decided to try the strip quilt along with Christa Watson using my stash and scraps. I liked the clean lines and wanted something quick to work on after doing a longer project. I also really liked the idea of using a decorative stitch on my machine with the walking foot for quilting.  This seems like a great pattern and I'm sure I'll do another one. I'm going to donate it but I haven't decided where at this point. 

I made this quilt for my husband's grandmother who has recently been placed in a nursing home. When we visited her, the room was stark white and she looked like she was in a hospital! I wanted to give her some color and warmth, and also choose colors that would not show stains easily, either. 

Based on patterns from the book by Sharon Pederson.

this is the first Hoop Sisters Embroidablock quilt that I have completed. I have three more in the works.

Flowering Urn quilt from the book, Floral Abundance.  Hand appliqued and free motion quilted using batiks from my stash and wool batting. I am making a series of seasonal wall hangings  to display on my sitting room wall.  This is my
Summer quilt.  It is about 48 inches square.

This is the second in a series of confetti pieced seasonal art quilts.

Moonscape is a body landscape.

This is my second quilt using Louisa L. Smith's "Strips n Curves" book. It includes some Broderie Purse with some of the horse images. The border fabric has a subtle broken barbed wire fence motif, which I found appropriate for the horses running free on the range. Hence, the name "Don't Fence me In"

I loved this alphabet quilt.

I learned Englsh Paper Piecing and Broderie Purse making this quilt,

I love applique, so thought I'd make this one.
