Aya - Original wholecloth quilt.

Mini Batik Suduko I - Designed to be donated for Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative as a mini quilt. I post it here to hopefully draw attention to the important work of Ami Sims and all her amazing volunteers. Please check out the other quilts available; the quality and beauty is amazing.

UFO No More - Paper Pieced.

trip to the beach - I used a digital photo that represents one of my son's and his wife's favorite "poses", namely, walking away from the camera. I blew it up to a size that used 9 8.5x11 sheets of printer fabric, and once it was assembled, with a coordinating pieced border, I touched up the main figures in the picture with paintsticks and after heat setting, went ahead and free motion quilted, making pebbles on the beach, or streaks in the sky, etc. I gave this to them for Christmas.

Feels Like Home - This is a table runner 24 x 60 that I made as a surprise hostess gift when we visited Mass. last year. Her home is new but made to look old, with exposed beams, etc. She had a rectory table in the kitchen and when I seen this pattern with those colors, I knew it was perfect!

The Baby - Inspired by a picture of a friend's grandchild. Started in Marilyn Belford's QU class, "Fabric Portraits" in Sept. and finished Jan. 24th.

Double Star - This quilt was made for a swap on about.com. The swap partner said that she liked blue green and orange. I had seen other quilts done in the same manner. So I drafted the idea in EQ5 and printed the 4 inch blocks. One of the pieces in the block only measures 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch. I was going to do one just like it for myself. But after taking 6 months to do the small pieces. I think this will be the only one in this size.

50 Years of Love - Made for my parents 50th Wedding anniversary. Photos from their lives before and after marriage. Light areas actually contain signatures/messages from friends and family.

Dream of Falling Leaves - Being a native Floridian, fall is not something I have experienced here. I collected leaves on my daily walk and used them as patterns for the leaves on the quilt. I chose 'fall colors' and machine appliqued them on a 'wavy' pieced backgroung. The border fabric is used on the back of the quilt with green appliques leaves.

Up, Up and Away - This was made from a panel that was 18 inches high by WOF wide. I cut fussy cut around elements and added other commercial sky fabric and raw-edge appliqued airplanes into the other sky. This was made as a charity quilt.

Eye of the Hurricane - I made this for my oldest daughter who took all the hard roads in her early years. The blocks reminded me of the hurricane tracking pictures we see here in Florida. I wrote this on the quilt " When you are living in the midst of the hurricane, keep your eyes on God and he will get you through".

Blue Star Rising - I made this quilt for my daughter, Kilani. At that time blue was her favorite color. At the time I made this quilt she was 11 years old. She was (and still is) my 'blue star rising'.

Thomas the Train Quilt - This was a panel my grandsons mom bought at Wal-mart and asked if I could enlarge it for Caden's youth bed. I actually took and added borders to the front and back of the quilt and took the stitching out and then restitched following the original stitching on my Mega Quilter quilting frame. It came out pretty good and I was really happy with the results.

Jelly Roll Quilt - This is a quilt made from Jelly Roll strips all sewn together in a straight line, then folded and cut and take the pieces and cut off about 18-20 inches then sew those two lengths together and cut again at fold and continue until strips measure the size quilt you want. This is a single bed size I made and added large borders and the backing I made large enough so I could fold it over for the binding. This quilt is being donated to the Shalva Children's Center in Jerusalem, Israel from a fire they had in 2013.
