Crazy Quilt - The quilt was designed by Ashe County Piecemakers Quilt Guild members. Several members made blocks. This is the block that I made.

Thimbleberries Round Robin Quilt - Nine members of a Thimbleberries Club decided to do a Row Quilt using only Thimbleberry fabrics. The members were Anne Alden, Pat Cashion, Judy Gabrenas, Cathi Gainey, Linda Hartzig, Faye Kelly, Martha Mitchell, Pam Phillips, and Joan Piercy. My row is the third one from the top - crazy quilted blocks.

Steven's 7th Grade Math Class Quilt - Steven's 7th Grade Math Teacher, Mrs. Saxon, gave the students a square of muslin to draw or write whatever they were thankful for. She asked for volunteers to put them together in a quilt. There ended up being three different quilts. I put this one together using red, white & blue people fabric as the sashing between the squares and as the backing. I also added star buttons in the cornerstones. His teacher was very happy with the way this one turned out.

Joyful Signs of Spring - A quilt guild challenge, with a black fabric and a grey fabric we had to relate "joyful" and "recycled." The nests are recycled materials and green beads represent new growth.

Ellison's Alphabet - This baby quilt was made for my grandaughter, Ellison using alphabet pre-printed panel based on a Lynda Milligan, Nancy Smith design in Quiltmaker Magazine #104. Machine pieced, machine and hand quilted, bamboo batting.

Quilts of Valor #1 - Red white & blue, quilts of valor, assorted fabrics. Delivered to wounded soldier at Walter Reed Hospital.

Benefit for Anthony - I made two of these quilts, thinking that I can have them on hand when I need to give a quilt on short notice. While I was making this, it was determined that our neighbor's nephew - only about a year old - needed a liver transplant, and they were having a fundraiser for his benefit. I donated this quilt. My neighbor had no idea what went into the making of a quilt and when she saw this, she decided that she wanted her nephew to be able to keep the quilt. However, she still wanted to raise money for the cause. She has seven sisters, so between the eight of them, they donated money for the cause and gave the quilt to their nephew. He went through the surgery and is doing very well a year later.

My name is Otter - My daughter volunteered at Camp Goodtimes, an American Cancer Society camp. All the staff have fun, fictitious names....She chose "Otter". We vacationed in Alaska with her this summer and were able to photograph some otters. I used commercial, hand painted, and batik fabrics. Techniques involved fused applique and machine thread painting.

Spring flower - A paper pieced flower (tulip). I made 3 blocks and made a small wallhanging .

Grandsons quilt - I know this as the tube block. It is made using 3 strips of fabric sewed together to make a tube, cut out in a triangle shape and then 4 blocks sewn together to make one block, super easy!

LOVELY STARS AND RECTANGLES - This is my very 1st quilt. It is such a lovely design that shows off the star block. It is a great little table topper if you didn't want it as a wall hanging. The quilt design is in a book called Quilting from start to finish by Katherine Guerrier. The actual quilt in the book needed a flying geese border after the triangles but being my 1st quilt I didn't want it to big so I stopped it at the triangle border. I machine quilted the quilt on my sewing machine, it was quilted in the ditch around all the borders.

Batik Stars in the GArden - Hand applique with batik fabrics, machine pieced and machine quilted

Where Love Resides 2010 - I started this quilt 11 years ago at the request of my youngest daughter, Betsy, who said she wouldn't get married until she was at least 30 yr. old. I told her it would take me that long to make it as I was no appliquer. Well, 11 years later Betsy is engaged with a wedding date set for Oct. 2010. She and her fiance, Jeremy will receive this quilt as their wedding gift from me.

Byers Family Quilt - I used had dyed silks for the vases and created the books on the computer, then printed them onto fabric (Using books that I had in my home).

BOM 2009 - Meissner's Folsom store 2009 block-of-the-month. Blocks designed by Helen Hardwick. I designed the setting. This is a reversible quilt.
