Blue Bunnies - Made by Mother and Daughter team for Charity

Amy's Tree Skirt - A perfect wedding gift for my niece.

Friendship - Machine embroidered blocks set on point, using embroidery software to enhance the embroidery designs.

Radiant Suns - Batik fabrics in jewel tones, lots of curved piecing, set together to look like spinning suns

Sunflowers - Quilt made from Flower Show 2 line by Benartex. I wanted to really emphasize the sunflowers

Wildflowers - Machine embroidered blocks, batik fabrics. I taught this class at least 5 times!

Victory Garden Beauty - I made this design and quilt from a tablecloth panel that I put in the center of the quilt, and repeated the swag motifs from the center to an outer border as applique. The stars reinforce the 4th of July genre of the fabric line, called Victory Garden, designed by Eleanor Burns, for Benartex. This quilt made my first Fons & Porter issue, Nov/Dec 2008. I was thrilled!

God Bless America - I finished the quilt the day we went to war with Iraq, I wanted all the symbols of what being an American meant to me, and tragedies recently suffered to be in the quilt. Road to Calif 2004

I Spy James - I made this with some novelty squares I had received from a swap. One square represents one letter of the alphabet. I also printed his picture and his mom and dad and grandpa & I on treated fabric and added them to the corners along with a list of some of the things to Spy.

Quiet Comfort - I made this for my daughter so she would have a cuddle quilt to wrap up in. She has it ever-ready by her 'spot' on the couch so she can quickly grab it and feel my hugs as she wraps it around her.

Stuart's Forest - This is for my grandson...an avid hunter just like his dad. I used just a simple block design with the bear paws stepping up the quilt. The fabric is assorted camouflage.

Orange Soda Memories & Cozumel Stars - My oldest granddaughter's quilt. She had just returned from a trip to Cozumel and was completely enamored by the colors of the waters and landscapes so those were the colors she chose for the fabric. I had taken part in a mystery and really liked the patten so that was the one I used as the base for this quilt. I then printed pictures of each family member and a orange soda bottle (her favorite pop) and appliquéd them...making each face look like bubbles coming from the bottle. She loves it and it's never far from her side.

Bethany's quilt - This is Bethany's quilt and she picked out her colors and the pattern. I then chose all the fun fabrics. I used the window treatment with the fusible so there wouldn't be a stiff backing.

Alivia's Squares - This was for my granddaughter at Christmas last year. I let her pick out her colors from my stash and the pattern she wanted from my many magazines. Then I purchased more fabric based on her choices. The pattern was much smaller than what I wanted so I added several more blocks and the wide border. Border and backing is Fairy Frost.

"Til My Arts Content - This is my first quilt totally made of scraps from old pillow shams, work shirts & pants, muslin, a bed sheet, and an old mattress cover for batting. Since this was my first quilt, it was supposed to be a practice run, but I think it turned out REALLY well, so I've decided to post it. It has very sparce quilting, but for my first try I'm happy with it. Maybe one day I will add more quilting to it. Will have to wait and see, but fornow I'm happy with it just the way it is.

Stars across Australia - This was made for my Great Niece, Nellie. I had made the star block in a class a few years previously out of pastel Fossil Fern fabric. At the time i thought they were a bit pale and forgot about them. I found them and thought a nice clear pastel blue batic would help to brighten the whole thing up. the quilting is done in a pale mauve and is of Kangaroos, platapus and Tassie tigers. the quilt is going to England and Nellie loves the colours.

My inner oblong - This is made for my dear friend who loves these colours. It is from the Chelsea Boutique range of fabrics. I finished it with an all over stippling on my machine and frame.
