Max's Vista Del Mar - I made this baby quilt for Max's mother because we share a love of the sea and snorkeling. We both love the magic of being underwater, watching the sea bursting with life and color. Also, we both resent being landlocked and so faraway from the sea. I have known Max's mother since she was an infant so it was a double pleasure.

Did Jacob Dream in Color? - Inspired by the biblical story of Jacob's ladder in Genesis and the description in Revelation of the New Jerusalem.

Quilt 'til you wilt! - This was a challenge for the www.llqg.org (my local guild). We were given black solid, yellow solid, and the black and white swirl fabrics. The challenge required a dimensional element. I found the free tulip pattern on http://thimble-art.com/?cat=4 and then added my own versions of a wilting tulip along with dimensional tulips to accent the theme, "Quilt 'til you wilt". I won third place in our challenge.
