Kozy Kitties - This was my first quilting project. I like embellishments on quilts, so, I added embroidery bird, mouse and ladybug, jeweled eyes and whiskers. I am hooked.

I Spy - This quilt was made for my first grand daughter Grace. I hope that we will have lots of fun looking at it and finding things.

Spanish Grandmother Fan - I don't have a Spanish Grandmother, but when completed it took on what I thought of as a Spanish feel. It is hand pieced and hand quilted. I added black lace around each fan and fussy cut the handles of the fan from the border fabric.

Mariners Compass - I made this Mariner's Compass because my boyfriend served in the US Navy and we both love the sea. It is hand pieced and hand quilted

Celtic Embroidery - I adapted an embroidery design from a library book which was completely blue and added color. I designed a reverse applique border and quilted it in a celtic design.

Backyard Birds - I made this for my Mom, for Christmas in 2000. She enjoyed it until she passed away in 2006.

Thimble Charm Quilt - 210 different fabrics. Hand pieced and hand quilted

Irish Heart Chain - One of my first quilts. It is entirely hand-pieced, hand appliqued and hand-quilted. Even the binding was applied by hand.

Big Bear - Felted wool with flannel backing

Leda - I enlarged a photo of a quilt in a book and used it for a pattern. I was new to quilting as it's done today and was fascinated by art quilts.

Life is but a bowl of pointsettia's - Charity Quilt: Crazy quilt wallhanging. Many different fabric's. The challange was to use Black & White with one other color. The theme was "Life is but a bowl full of". Floating beads were added for sparkle.

Doll yoyo - Granddaughter's 12 inch doll bed needed a christmas quilt.

lovely ladies - Asian wallhanging. Center is fabric given to me as a gift. I just built a quilt around the lovely ladies. Some of the fabric is metallic so I used gold metallic thread to quilt it with butterflies and flowers & leaves. I added beads to the center and falling flowers and trim around the window of ladies to make them stand out.

St Agnes Eve - Uses I put it over the sofa at Christmas..Border prints for the the large triangles and the block corner triangles obscure the block outlines. 

Bird's Nest Block.                 

East West - Original designed by Gill Turley. Mine is larger and I worked out the sizing. Uses some Indonesian batiks. Hand quilted. My husband's favourite

When Alice Was Big - 2008 TLC Quilters Guild Challenge for "Alice in Quilterland" show. Challenge fabric is the curtains on the quilt. We had to make any size & style quilt fitting the show theme. After reading Lewis Carroll's book, I decided to show the inside of the house Alice looked into when she was BIG! I started with the couch, then the couch quilt. That quilt is painted on PFD fabric with Pigma & Tsukineko pens, then quilted in place on the couch. The wallhanging quilt is actually a separate quilt, hanging from a 'rod' made from a twisted silver floral wire (as are the curtains). "Alice" looking thru' the window is portrayed by my friend Mallory, printed on a June Taylor Colorfast inkjet fabric sheet. The disappearing Cheshire Cat is stuffed & was drawn with a Pigma pen. I really had a lot of fun with this & am very happy with my results!

Dimensions - I was participating in an on-line challenge to try something new with my sewing machine. I was fascinated with fabric folding and came up with this design where every single section is folded fabric, sewn in place, so there's a lot of dimension when you see it in person. This hasn't been quilted - yet.
