Mom's New York Beauty - This quilt is very similar to one I made for myself about 4 years ago. My Mom loves mine and wanted one that would match her dining room. She even wanted the same border fabric as mine. I was able to find enough at a wonderful shop called "The Quilted Moose" in Gretna, NE about 4 or 5 years after it was made. Mom didn't know the quilt was being worked on so it was a wonderful surprise.

Scrappy Scooby - A very quick job of knocking up a quilt in a day when I first started quilting. The basting tags are still in as my son wants them there still. The quilting was in the ditch and very poor, but it is well loved.

Ice Cream Swap - As a result of a strip swap based on the theme of ice cream.

With love to my Vilde - My quild gave us a pattern of an heart to do applique this year. I made some blocks with this heart an started to play a little. I did not know what I whanted it to be . I was also at the same time thinking of making a bedcover for my dauther and suddently this quilt grew from a table quilt to a single bed quilt to my dauther. I used foto transfer on my printer. There are 8 pitcures of Vilde in the quilt. I used "quilt as you go" technique.

Friendship Garden - Pieced and machine appliqued using 1930's reproduction prints and a red print backing.

Grace - This was a purchased panel, painted with Shiva Painsticks and heavily microquilted to add detail and texture.

Amish Rendition - This was a Block of the Month done at Old Town Quilts, Keller, TX. A qirl, Michelle, wanted to learn to sew and quilt but didn't know how to do either. I began teaching her what I know and we did the Block of the Month together. She is coming along quite well although she has never finished her quilt. Our goal is to get her to finish hers this coming year.

Advent Calendars - I had to make two of these Advent Calendars so each of our children's families could have one. We have 5 grandchildren (3 in one family and 2 in the other) so it was quite a challenge to find gifts small enough to fit 3 in each of the 3"x3" pockets. Since we were shipping them, I had to seal each pocket with darning thread tied at one end so the items would not fall out (it also keeps prying eyes out before the appropriate day). I'm not really into hand embroidery, I had originally intended for these calendars to be ready for Christmas 2008, unfortunately, I didn't get them done until a few days ago - just in time to get them to the kids by December 1st of 2009. They really did turn out cute. What a great pattern - if I ever make another one though, I think I'll do machine embroidery or just print the pictures onto material instead of doing the hand embroidery :).

Moon River - This quilt was made for the Piecing Partners Quilt Guild 2007 Challenge. It was made of all cotton fabrics, many hand dyed, for the base and covered with sheer. It was appliqued, painted and machine quilted.
