PDF Panel for a Cure in Honor of Larry & Karen - Made in honor of my cousins, Larry & Karen, who are living with this heart breaking disease.

Intuitive Play - Just took a wonderful class with Jean Wells at Quilt Camp in the Desert. I think I found my "Thing", again! Wonderful fun.

Hot Tennessee Nights - Each of my! friends in my small quilting group made a Tennesee Waltz quilt. We sharted it on a retreat (just us girls) to Branson, MO. Of course, they are all quite different, but equally beautiful! I originally made this for my stepdaughter, but ended up keeping it for now.....a funny story! I quilted it on the long arm during my "flame" period. Thus the name, "Hot Tennesee Nights." Although this is a traditional pattern, I classified it as contemporary due to the fabrics and quilting.

Welcome Home Jeremy - Wonderful sewing friends surprised me with several completed blocks and quilt pattern (thanks kmouse) for a quilt to be completed to Welcome Home my son after completing his duty in Iraq. My sister, niece & I made additional blocks using many of my mom's fabrics (mom had passed away leaving a wonderful fabric stash)- I then had family and friends sign blocks with their names and sentiments welcoming Jeremy back home. I presented this quilt (along with 2 blocks made into pillows) to Jeremy upon his return to Springfield after 14 months away at a surprise pool party. He was thrilled, surprised and enjoyed reading the sentiments expressed knowing the love of those who contributed to the quilt. And Grandma was surely looking down from above at a new quilt created from part of her stash.

Red/White Quilt - LQS had Buck-a-Block in 2005. Mom & I made blocks each month. She unexpectedly passed away 10-2005. I showcased her blocks in center of quilt, added my monthly blocks and made additional ones to fit into a King Size quilt I designed using Bernina Quilter software. I had Quiltin' Bill of Galena, Mo. quilt it since Mom always wanted to have him long-arm quilt one of hers (sadly she never got one to him before she passed away). I have a quilt made by my great-grandmother which she hand pieced/hand quilted Red/White quilt in 1931, and will now have this "modern, machine made" quilt that Mom & I did together. Special memories.

Hearts for Eowyn - Hearts are stitched to a block and then cut apart and sewn back together, very textural.

Jon's Mountains - Graduation quilt Includes photos taken by my grandson, one of which I enlarged to make a landscape.

Indian Moon - Various Native American print fabrics were used as background. Donated to Boulder Community Hospital Auxiliary's Fashion Show Silent Auction.

God's Hands - Making this quilt was healing for me when my Grandson was severely burned in a car accident.

Maroon Memories - Mountains and stream were strip pieced. Trees, bushes, & grass were done using thread painting.

Feathered Star Roses - Feathered Stars are made from various rose fabrics.

Bear Tracks - The border fabric of bears was the inspiration. Teddy bears and friendship with the linking of the blocks all played a part in my inspiration.

Hopi Sun - This quilt measures 84x84. It is machine pieced, hand appliqued, and hand beaded. Mahine quilted. I researched the hopi indians for the appliqued signs of the corner pieces.

Alpha Panel - Had the center panel, needed to finish large enough for my grandson to nap with. Used my scraps and just started adding borders.

Bright Baby Fun - Baby Genious fabric with other brights and chenille for texture. Minke backing and no batting. Great for baby to play on, really gets their attention.

Bright Baby II - Baby Genious fabric with chenille fabric and assorted other brights. Backing is minke. No batting.

Red Yellow and Blue Squares - I created this free form quilt after taking a class from Jean Wells. It was very freeing to just cut and not worry so much about measuring.
