Steven & Robyn's Wedding Quilt - Quilt made to commemorate the wedding of my son, Steven, to Robyn.

Anthony's Quilt - "Quilt made in loving memory of Anthony."

Hoffman Jewel - Created with the 2004 Hoffman Challenge fabrics but not finished in time for the contest. :( Could not bring together a large enough design for the contest so it later evolved into this small jewel and came out so much the better for the wait. I have in hanging in my bedroom and I love it!

One Block Wonder Triptich - Started with 2008 Hoffman Challenge fabric oriental in the blue colorway. Wanted a large impact but be able to hang it anywhere in my home so I came up the idea of the fractured triptich. The binding is fused. I quilted it on my Gammill Optimum with Statler Stitcher with spirograph patterns in blue and black metallic thread.

One Block Wonder #1 - Made following directions in One Blocks Wonders book. All will be originals due to method of creation and based on the beginning fabric and they way one chooses to cut up the repeat.

Herb I & II - This quilt is the result of a workshop at the Allegre Retreat in 2004. Katie Pasquini-Masopust was the teacher. This is the best workshop I've ever taken and the result was better than I thought it would be! Design is derived from a photo of my cat, Herb. Herb has slept on this quilt, and is unimpressed by the ribbon it won. LME

Fall - I did my own color manipulation. Original design called for very crisp dark and light. I wanted colors to fade into each other.

Oh Susanna - This is my first quilt. I didn't know any better. Named in honor of dear friend.

Mandala - From class on offset log cabin. I put it on point and the rest of design is original

Angel - When Merle Ann Butler lived in Virginia Beach, I commissioned her to make this wall hanging for me. I met her at a friend's home where Merle Ann was showing her angel quilts. She that making and selling these was her "bread and butter." She told us about her life. Although I could sew, I fell in love with her angels. I had fabric and lace that had meaning to me, so she made the quilt with those. She hand painted the face. Beautiful. she also sold her pattern to me, so I made some as gifts for my sister and brother. It took so many hours. I never saw one of those angel gilfts displayed. I wonder if they still have them.

Heart Star Garden - This is one of my first quilts. What a huge binding! I made up the pattern and this is the second one. The first one went to my sweet friend, Kathy. My friend had to move all the way to California, and I knew her absence would be a loss for me. Hearts and stars were extremely popular then. At the bottom of the heart is a floral lace (which symbolizes the garden and personal growht), the stars are gold lame (representing the hopes and dreams for a better like), and the remaining fabric is cotton. The fabrics are from Jinny Beyer collection.

Fan Serene - The fan is appliqued and embroidered with machine embroidery. It hangs in my hall with the other scroll pattern design by June Colburn. It is serende in my hallway as I approach my sewing room. I took a class from June several years ago. She is one of the calmest people I have ever met.

Not named - This is going to be a gift for a friend

Tripping Through the Garden - This is 3D fabric folding and manipulation .

Dance! - This was my first quilt using my own hand dyes. This quilt was just juried into Pacific International Quilt Festival
