Modern Asian - This quilt was a quick response of having extra time in one day and a stopping point on another project. In some ways the back wa harder and more fun then the front.

Civil War remnants - I saw this at our local quilt shop and just loved it. and had to make one for myself.

Angels - This started out as a wedding present for my niece, half way thru it I fell in love. Good thing I started early enough to start another quilt for her.

Arizona Sudoku - My mom loves to do sudoku puzzles and got fabrics in Arizona while watching DS#1 at national golf tournament. She watched younger 2 kids so my husband and I could watch him. I hand quilted it after watching how to draft feathers from Alex's classroom. The design is posted in my personal photos.

Geese and Feathers - I love the abstract and flowing lines that this has. I also tried using Ricki's thread for reverse machine quilting. Love the effect. I machined quilted the piece on my Longarm and home machine for piecing. I used bright Bali's and veragated thread.

Andy's Quilt - Personalized the quilt by adding the Texas Flag, a Blackhawk Helicopter applique, and the Division applique

Birds in the Air - A Christmas present for my mom. She loves fall so I rounded up lots of fall themed and/or fall colored fabric to use. I've always wanted to make this pattern which was a great way to use lots of scraps. Not the best quality photo, but you get the idea.

Silent Stars - A design by Gwenfai Rees Griffiths published in 8 parts 2002 British Patchwork & Quilting magazine. Variable sized bloks with filler. Mine made in Christmas fabric; the original in coffee, cream and pale yellow.

So they will remember

Groovy - This quilt was a chance to use up leftovers. Scraps from previous projects were sorted by color, cut into strips, sewn end to end. The resulting long strips were folded in half and sewn on the long edge. This process was repeated, resulting in long rectangular pieces. The wider ones were cut in 2 with a wavy rotary cut. All edges were secured with a metallic bias tape after the quilting was completed. The binding is made from leftovers from the strip panels.

Columbine Mandala - When I saw the TQS show with RaNae Merrill, I was hooked. Purchased her book, watched the show several times, jumped in and designed by own Mandala. I am proud to say that this quilt won 2 blue ribbons at our county fair and is now at our state fair. I will find out the results soon.

Last Supper - A beautiful wall hanging that my oldest sister will love.
