For TJay - Bed quilt per Hubby's request. The first qult I started.

From Rosebuds to Hanging baskets - This was made for a SOST challenge. The title is descriptive of what happens to part of the female anatomy with aging.

Hula Girl - Made for a quilt challenge.

Buck II - Made as a going-back-to-school gift for my friend Dee.

Block in a Bag - This was a group effort. Each person in the group made a 4 patch block (12") with my chosen fabrics and then I designed the layout and borders.

Victorian Thistle - I made this quilt for an ugly duckling challenge where you were given a brown bag with 4 yards of material. The top of the quilt had to comprise 75% of that fabric. (I'm approximating the dimensions.)

Denise's Violet Rose Sampler - This quilt was given to my daughter on Mother's Day 2008. Her favorite color is purple and she treasures this beautiful heirloom from her mom, Barb Siefker.

Blew Mune Kafae' - This quilt is traveling with other quilts thru out Michigan. They travel for two years to hospitals, libraries, museums, etc. The 2006 theme was "outer space". This is my vision of buildings on the moon....

Magnolias at Twilight - I was inspired by a Judy Mathieson Mariner's Compass class and modified one of her patterns for the center. I didn't want to set it in a square, so I hand and machine appliqued the background around the star.

Explore Space - I made this quilt for and it was accepted into the IQA's Sky's The Limit exhibit for 2008. It will be hanging in Houston this year. It will also be exhibited at the Chicago and Long Beach quilt shows in 2009. I'm guessing on the size, because I do not currently have the quilt in my possession.

Patience is a Virtue - This was a Saturday Sampler from my LQS. The alternate blocks were based on the Millenium Sampler designed by Patchwork Studio. I quilted it on my HQ16 - it was TOUGH, because the quilt is queen sized (about 108 inches square) and my table will only allow about 7 feet (84 inches) of width. Hence, the name.

Margaret's Quilt - I took a kit quilt and added applique and celtic work to add length

You make a better door.......... - The challenge was to use a door or window in the quilt and I couldn't think of anything until my daughter reminded me that every time one of the kids stood in front of the TV I hollered - "You make a better door than a window!!!". My kids are all grown now - but what a memory......

Danica's Quilt - Made in celebration of Danica's win in Japan

Sunny, Sunny Day - I learned to paint fabrics in a workshop by Phil Beaver. All the fabric used was handpainted by me. The design elements are his patterns and I put it together and did all the machine quilting and thread painting.

Aaron's quilt - I made this for my 4th great-nephew. He is the first born to one of my nephew's and his wife. They are so sweet!!

Allison's Quilt - I found the pattern in a magazine but don't remember which one. The quilt was made to comfort a friend going through chem and radiation for breast cancer. She is doing well now.

Girl Quilt for Olivia - I made this for my new great-niece Olivia in June 2008. She was born in April 2008 to my nephew & his wife whom I love dearly. I also did another quilt just like this one for another great-niece Lucy born to another nephew and his wife. I love this new generation! Just wish I could see them more often.
