My Mountain - This wall hanging was inspired by the Canadian Rockies, my rock garden and the fabulous landscape fabrics now available. It has a two-inch facing instead of binding, and is heavily quilted.
Sister's Sunset - This is based on a photo I took in central Oregon. The sky is painted, the mid and foreground is original, the mountains are taken from a pattern, so I could get the Sisters mountains correctly depicted.
First Two Blocks - I made this lap sized quilt using the first two blocks I learned, the rail fence and the nine patch. I oriented them on point to make this pattern. It is just the top and not yet quilted.
Product of Gloria Loughman's Layer by Layer class - This quilt is similar to a pattern by Gloria Loughman. I took her class at the MidAtlantic Quilt Fest 2010. It was an amazing class I still can't believe the end result. I had so much fun making this quilt.
Tammy's Flagstaff - The center of this quilt is a hand-painted picture a friend purchased at a craft fair and sent me as a gift. I added borders and quilted with metallic leaves. The quilt was returned to the friend at the time of her father's funeral.
Carol's Wedding - This design was inspired by a stained glass window at a church in Florida. Sadly, I paid more attention to the window than to the ceremony. The quilt is hand-appliqued with hand-made bias and hand quilted.
Italian Memories - I adapted blocks designed by Myrna Raglin and designed my own setting and borders. The colors represent the Pennsylvania Amish, and the quilt is embellished by gold embroidery.
Butterfly Boutique - This is a two-fabric applique quilt done in the Hawaiian style. Great traveling project. This quilt used a very colorful commercially dyed batik.
All Stacked and Whacked - Using Japanese fabrics and Moda Spraytime, this quilt is machine pieced and quilted, using the embroidery module of my Bernina Artista 630. The quilting designs are adaptations of the Holice turnbow designs which are in the Bernina software.
Gaggle of Geese - Saw Nancy Odom do this one on Simply Quilts and copied it the best I could. The block is not what you think it is. The flying geese are actually sashing.
Double Star Duo -- Remembering Napa - Grape theme print purchased at the Quiltmaker, in Napa, CA, while shopping with cousin Barbara Sizelove. Green fabrics won at a drawing at the Reno-Sparks Newcomers Quilt Guild in April 2010.
Flaming Dragon Star - Quilt result of a workshop with Judy Niemeyer. Used Kaffe Fassett fabric which made it very bold. Machine quilted on my home machine.
