Orange Delight - I didn't know that Y seams were dreaded when I started this quilt. This is a quilt I made for my son's 33rd Birthday and arrived just after an operation to remove his appendix

Purple Splender - I made this quilt as a wedding present for the daughter of a very good friend.

Bugs alive - My granddaughter was three years old when I made this for her, and she loves bugs, so what else would I make it from.

Aloha Maui - Detail of a larger quilt. Fussy cut petals and gecko applique, thread painting.

Twinkle Twinkle Little S*ar - One of my first three quilts sewn in classes taken at the same time to learn to quilt. Named for my granddaughter Hannah's song. Alex Anderson's Keep Quilting Book- Sawtooth Star Quilt made bigger!

Musicians 13 - A wedding gift for two friends. They are both musicians and so the quitl contains 13 musical fabircs - which took some finding!

Beth's fairy coat - I used a 1970's swing coat pattern as the basis for this coat and made the fabric by piecing togehter strips of fabric from all sorts of sources before adding applique fairies. It has beem well used fro dressing up.

Granny's garden - Made for Granny's 90th birthday the back of the quilt shows the handprints of all my cousins as well as Granny's two sons along with their signatures.

Granny's garden - Made for my Grandmother's 90th birthday

Joseph's train - This was made as a gift for a little boy in hospital with Leukemia. There was not anything else I could do but I hope this made him smile. He is well now.

Kaffe Blues - Quilt using lots of different Westminster Fiber fabrics.

Near the Grove - Center is wet-felted and machine-stitched. Quilt is hand-quilted.

My Seven Moons - Background fabric is dyed with bleeding tissue paper; fused, beaded, machine-quilted

Cozy Cottage Days - This is a beautiful linen textured cotton fabric called Laurel Cottage by Benartex. I wanted to make a pattern that was a more contemporary design using traditional fabrics. I sell this pattern if you are interested!!

The Apple Orchard - The apples in this line by Benartex, called Cider Mill Road by Nancy Halvorsen, inspired me to make the apples the theme of the quilt. I mixed pieced blocks with applique blocks. This quilt just showed up in the #98 issue of 2009 Quilt Almanac! I was very excited!!

Flowers at Market - I designed this quilt to maximise the beautiful large red roses in the fabric line, called Flower Mart by Benartex

A Mariner's Holiday - I designed this quilt around the Christmas tree skirt panels in the line by Benartex called Splendid Holiday. I put the panels in the corners, and designed the side blocks to compliment the mariners compass in the center. This quilt made it to a "photo finish" in the Fall 2008 Fabric Trends magazine! I sell the pattern myself through my blog, www.peddlecarquilts.blogspot.com
