Birthday Card for Penny - I was inspired by Ricky’s segment on quilted birthday cards, so I decided to make one for my friend and neighbor’s birthday last week. I printed the picture of her dog and the greeting on fabric with my inkjet printer and added the borders. I did hand quilt around the picture and greeting, but the rest is done with pink and clear seed beads. As I was about to sew up the pocket on the back, I decided to add some lavender flowers, so now it’s a sachet as well. She loved it!

Viva San Miguel - This is an applique quilt with images of San Miguel and Mexico. Each block was made by a person in the group and sewn together and machine quilted.

Autumn - I saw the original design, Robbing Peter to Pay Jack in Quiltmaker Sept/Oct 05, but didn't want it to only be for Halloween. So I added the leaf and pumpkin to make it more of an Autumn quilt. This is the first in my series "For Everything There is a Season."

Rachel's Quilt - This signature quilt is signed by guests at Rachel's bridal shower and contains words of advice for the new bride.

Mica's Birthday Quilt - I made this quilt for my Daughter In Law for her birthday.

Love is Not Always Just Black & White - The blocks in this quilt were paper pieced. The quilt was created for an auction benefitting an organization which serves children and adults with autism. The strong color scheme speaks to the harsh realities of life with an autistic family member, while the quilting pattern of hearts and loops, and the use of fabrics with hearts and words of love serve to remind us that love is what helps make the impossible, possible.

Kwilt Kake - Made and donated for a silent auction to raise money for publishing costs of a book about a local, well-known quilter. It contained about 3 1/2 yds of material and sold for $100.00. Great fun to make.

Trading Patches - King-size quilt made entirely from scraps and fat quarters on hand. There are 511 different fabrics. Only one fabric was used twice. Used to play "I Spy" and one of the items to find is the fabric that was used twice. Great fun to make - I couldn't stop digging thru my scraps and making more blocks. 256 blocks in all.

Shamu and Fizz - Made for my son Stewart I added an extra dog as he has two Black Labrador dogs flipped and shrunk the original dog pattern by 25% to get the perspective right, then added a pull for Shamu and a ball for Fizz in relief. I also appliqued flowers on bottom left and top right to make this more individual

Stars and Stripes Forever - I was inspired to make this quilt in 1997 with friends during a class we took in Palmdale, CA. Each of us made blocks and shared them to make our own quilt using our own setting. For several years this quilt top was put away and then with the events of 9-11-01, I felt the need to work on this quilt while watching the frightening events on TV.

Star Light, Star Bright - I created this quilt in a class taught at Road to California by Alex Anderson in January 1995. The supply list said to bring at least 24 fabrics. I brought an under-the-bed container full and discovered I still did not have enough and needed to visit the quilt store set up in the hotel. I bought at least 2 dozen more fabrics. Can quilters ever have enough fabric ?

Scrappy Blue and White Jacob's Ladder - I love working in scrappy fabrics. This gives me a reason why I have so much fabric.
