Color Box - A fun child's quilt. One of the initial designs for my pattern company, Copper Beech Studios.

Signature Quilt for Graduation - I collected the signatures of family and friends and assembled the quilt top in secrecy for my daughter's high school graduation in 2004. I finally quilted it in 2014. It is all hand-guided quilting without a pattern. All original quilting.

Adoration - An original abstract design using fused mostly free hand cut pieces of fabric with machine decorative stitches and hand couching.

Kahlua - Close up view. Quilt made in memory of my little cross-eyed girl who blessed me with her sweetness and love for 18 years. Like her brother's quilt, the back is covered with fused photos. "Run, run, run" my Kahlui Ku.

Joy - This quilt was a BOM at a local quilt shop.

Shelby's Dragon - A commissioned quilt for an 11 year old who loves blue and black, dragons, chickens, horses and animal prints. I had to think hard about how to combine these into one quilt.

The Pack - Inspired by a photo of my husband relaxing with the dogs.

Diamonds and Rubies - I made this quilt for the SEWCALGAL 2014 Red & White Challenge. Using the 9- Patch Star as a Medallion on point. Designed in EQ7, pieced, and quilted by me. I had fun placing the pretty quilting on this quilt with verigated Signature thread.

Maddies Birthday Quilt - This is the quilt I made for my older granddaughter Maddie's fourth birthday. I wanted something that coordinated with her drapes which were bold colored large dots set in rows. The decorator had made a pillow out of that fabric in the shape of a heart so I decided to use the dye cut hearts I had purchased years ago and never used. In order to get enough hearts in some of the colors I had to use my stash or fat quarters to fill in. the sashing and borders were purchased fabric for this quilt. This phot was taken a year later as I forgot to take a photo before giving it to her.

Swansong - Swan song depicts a proud and fiery swan about to fly. It has a hand dyed background,applique embellished with Lumiere paint and painted lace feathers.

Wedding Swirl - Designed and made for a wedding gift for my son and daughter-in-law.

Evolution - I designed this quilt in a Rosalie Dace class on Kandinsky-inspired quilts. This quilt was inspired by Kandinsky's "Development in Brown".

Out On A Limb - Inspired by the stunning hand dyed fabrics of Elin Noble and the concept of implying transparencies taught by color guru Christine Barnes. The final transparent treatment is the gold tree silhouette done with a diluted Lumiere paint.

The Rest Stop - Almost 200 fused, raw edge applique pieces were used to create this scene of a pair of Western bluebirds taking a break from their daily agenda. The background scenery was created with Tsukineko inks on one piece of fabric. Tsukineko inks, Prismacolor pencils and Micron pens were used for the details.

Out In The Open - Rarely are we able to get a glimpse of the elusive Himalayan Snow Leopard. This one holds still just long enough to captivate us with his penetrating blue eyes. This is a whole cloth quilt (aside from the borders) created in a class with Patt Blair using Tsukineko inks.
