Simple Day at the Lake

Charmed Stars - Using charm squares I made this quilt a great size for throwing over Grace's car seat. Grace is the daughter of a friend.

Patriot's Pride - This free pattern required lots of math repairs, but the quilt turned out great!

Buzz Saw - Traditional Buzz Saw quilt

Summer Fletcher's baby quilt - Whole cloth flannel baby quilt

Wacky Colors Sky Rocket - Small neo-natal quiltie donated to NICU through a local guild. I wanted to try the Sky Rocket block so that I could later make it out of "expensive" fabric.

Convergence Flames - I used one tie-dyed fabric for all four of the fabrics needed for this design. It's quilted with a flame design. One of my favorites!

Patriotic Rail Fence - I loved the fabric - there are metallic stars on each color. Now it seems a bit too wild. It went together VERY fast.

For My Father - My father was in a nursing home - everything had to have his name on it! I knew the quilt would be abused in the nursing home - so used cheap fabric and cheap techniques - both a mistake I now know.

Giant Carrots - I drew the carrots on newspaper and then paper pieced them. Quilted on a MegaQuilter.

The Hungry Caterpillar

Season's Windows - I made this quilt for my mother for christmas, it was my own design. I fell in love with two different landscape prints, a winter and a summer. I made them into windows surround by wide mitred borders and appliqued leaves on the borders surrounding the landscapes. The leaves are in different seasonal fabrics and include some birds for every season as well as flower and leaf prints as my mother is both an avid gardener and an avid birder. It is a lap quilt and she loves it, she naps under it ever afternoon.

Fly Away - After I saw Ricky demonstrate this technique on The Quilt Show, I had to make one right away. It is the Flying Geese block using only one seam.

dianes dear jane - two hundred twenty five patterns from the 1863 Jane A. Stickle Quilt`

Sunset At Home - This was my first project at my first La Veta Quilt Retreat with Ricky. It was also my first quilt completed with free-motion quilting (during my 2nd LVQR retreat in 2006).

Tetched - This crazy quilt began with four center blocks that I embellished at a retreat with Judith Baker Montano. I had so much fun, I kept going.

Flip Flops - I made each of my daughters in law a flip flop quilt for Christmas last year. These quilts are for fun and are to be used while basking in the sun on the beach or by the pool. The girls loved them!

Jeremy and Kendra's Wedding Quilt - I made this for my oldest son and his bride to be for their wedding. The guests signed the blocks on the quilt as a lasting reminder of their special day.
