Galveston 2005 - Made for the Fast Friday Fabric Challenge, using found objects. Photo of seagulls taken on the beach on Galveston, TX, fused to background of blue and sandy Color Catchers from my washer. Seagull feathers are attached using a machine featherstitch (!), then several shapes of light blue tulle are overlaid using MistyFuse. Quilting lines continue the tire tracks on the sand in the photo.

Sweet Baby Tessa - This quilt was made for a colleague's first child. She is expecting Tessa in May. It was given to her at her baby shower.

LIGHTHOUSE ANNIVERSARY QUILT - Embroidery blocks from Cactus Punch Patterns. Quilt made as a gift for my husband for our 42nd Anniversary. He is very proud of HIS quilt. Help with layout of quilt Brenda Weiman

Triip Around the World - This is a lap sized quilt. It was my first class at a quilt shop and I really enjoyed it. I knew I had a lot to learn. Quilted it on my Bernina.

Log Cabin - This was my first ever quilt. The leader of a local quilt guild helped me pick out all the colors and said. "You CAN do this". And I did!

Kaleidescope - First quilt I made. Fabric and pattern picked by the owner (my mother). I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this pattern.

Hearts and Flowers - I designed this layout and borders and used a pattern for the heart from a pattern called Sweet Memories. This was my first applique quilt and I enjoyed so much making this quilt. It was a challenge - a new challenge, I should say, to learn to applique and it has now become one of my favorites. I hand stitched and machine pieced the quilt - long arm custom quilted by my dear friends Victoria and Michelle - Creative Quilts, Galt, CA.

Blooms for a Basket - This was the 2nd applique quilt for me and I loved the beautiful baskets & flowers. The applique is hand stitched and blocks machine pieced. Custom long arm quilted by my dear friends Victoria and Michelle - Creative Quilts, Galt, CA. This is a quilt I will treasure and eventually hand down to my children.

wild curves - Curved peices appliqued on to polar fleece as backing.

Card Catalog - My first job was in a library, where I developed an interest in the card catalog cards that were already out of date then. Later I worked as a book editor, so I used the bibliographic data for books I'd worked on to print catalog cards on fabric and sew them into the quilt. The woodgrain pattern on the brown blocks is hand-quilted freehand.

Vipassana - The title of this quilt, Vipassana, mean "to look within". The fabric is hand dyed and the center is a digitized scan of a 15th century Tibetan mural.
