Beagle Doggie quilt - I made this quilt for two of my dearest friends pet Beauty. Beauty loved to curl up in the quilt and become "invisible". It was a work of love and Beauty loved it. She is gone now but her owners still have the quilt
Teddybear love - I bought this quilt at walmart already put together. I just had to put the binding and tag on it. I made it for my boss at my daycare job for her new daughter kenasyn.
Caterpillar fun - I made this quilt for my cousin Jessie and her husband mark's baby to be born in september. I thought it was fun fabric to use for a child's quilt and one that will be able to grow with the child. I also got the book to give with quilt.
Stars and Stripes - I started this quilt in 2000 in a BOM class. I gave up with the hand applique block. I started machine applique in 2008. This was given to a student of mine who served in Afghanistan.
A Convergence of Dogwoods - I used dogwood themed batiks from a shop hop. I embellished the quilt with a border, padded appique and gold braid around some of the appliques. The quilting is motiff quilting for every other row with rectangular patterns in between and extremely detailed echo quilting in the border.
A Message of Love - I used various parts of this pattern to create a wallhanging for a Quilt Pink challenge. This quilt is currently residing on a wall at the Cancer Treatment Center of Sky Lakes Medical Center in Klamath Falls, Oregon
Wandering Dinosaurs - Made with brightly colored flannels, this quilt was a joy to make and has been very well loved by the young one it was created for.
Seattle Mania - Created for a dear friend who loves Seahawks and Mariners, I found novelty prints with Seahawks and Mariners logos and mixed with various coordinating shades of blues and grays. Quilt is backed with a dark blue denim. He absolutely loves it and only brings it out for show, as he's afraid to actually use it. My intention was for him to take it to the games to keep warm.
The Lost Maples Quilt - Taking 3 years to make, this quilt is based on a photo. The leaves in the corner are three dimensonal and can be bent into different directions. Most of it is raw edge applique.
My Tom Russell Quilt - Took a class from Tom Russell at our quilt show. This picture and the next one are the same quilt. The vase and the large orange flower are embedded in the quilt.
A Summer Morning's Weaving - The design of this pieced quilt came from a painting my daughter, Marlo Craig Jones, made in college. It took a lot of time with graph paper and map colors to do this. Yes, I did ask her permission before I started it.
Cream Batik Baltimore - Started at a workshop with Jacquie Harvey at Wroxham Barns and then finished very slowly over about four years. The blocks are taken from different books - I just picked the ones I liked. I saw a postage stamp size quilt in similar colourways and thought it would be a different approach to a Baltimore. The border is my own design.
El Rancho de los Comaleros - El Rancho de los Comaleros located in Mexico, was where my grandfather was born. It was selected for the traveling exhibit Tactile Architecture, 2007 in the International Quilt Festival.
