Ricky Tims' Harmonic Convergence

Dimensional Flying Geese

Thomas the Train - Made for grandson's third birthday.

Hot Wheels for Haley - This quilt was a PROCESS of taking a huge mistake and creating a quilt that actually worked. Thinking that I was cutting the background fabric strips the correct size I zipped through 15 strips before I realized I was cutting the background fabric the size of the twist or focus of the block! I ended up reversing the block into a positive/negative set and came up with this twist. My granddaughter has a limited color pallet that also gave me this challenge to complete something that I think she will like. The pillowcases are an added bonus and really set it all off. Whew!! I can't get her sister's quilt done before Christmas so it's going to have to be set aside.

Pelican - Pelican based on art by friend, Beki Killorin (www.bekikillorin.com), who made the sketch of the bird for me. This was 6 years in the making, as I got frustrated and put it aside many times. My ideas were reluctant to come to fruition. It has 3D aspects, with the design of the flower (or sections of it, brought forward in butterflies, flowers, etc.

Solar Twist - I used the pattern with fabrics I had on hand. My first attempt at free motion quilting.

Irish Chain Doll Quilt - I used a bunch of pastel scraps to make this doll quilt for my daughter.

Fall Table Runner - This table runner was paper pieced in fall colors. I used my Gammill Long Arm machine to quilt it. I used a dense amount of quilting on the orange fabric, and left the prints unquilted to pop up. It has a very nice texture and the color is more vibrant than the picture shows.

Flaming 9 Patch - I wanted a quilt that was 'Hot'... I think this did it!

Books:1; E-books:0 - This quilt was made for an exhibit by quilters who work in libraries. The theme was simply "books". I wanted to do a pictorial quilt which would show antique books, and showcase a piece of gorgeous handmade marbled fabric (sorry, don't know who dyed it). I worked long and hard and made many versions of a somewhat elaborate still life with books and hated every version more and more. Suddenly, after many days of working, I simplified the idea and ended up with a quilt I was very happy with. The books are a single fabric, tucked and stuffed. The background of the quilt is quilted in a 1/4" crosshatch design. After quilting, the book section was stitched onto the quilt.

My First Christmas Quilt

ABC quilt - This quilt was made for the birth of my friend's second child.

My First Crazy Quilt

Blooming Feathers - I love this pattern! It's so simple yet stunning. I've made 5 quilts from it and each turned out beautiful.
