Oceans Alive - This Ocean Quilt was made for my nephew Jai for his first Birthday. I gathered all the peices from Quilting shows it took me 4 months to complete. My little nephew just loves it!

Mariner's Compass - This quilt was started by a class Judy Matheison offered at our local Quilt Guild. It is the beginning of a bedspread for my king size bed. I am going to turn the quilt on point and add triangles (design of the triangles has not yet been determined) and then I am going to border the quilt with blocks made in the Quilt Show Block of the Month. I will use the same colors in the BOM blocks and am challenging myself to find out how to tie the two styles nicely into 1 quilt.

Rag quilt - This is a rag quilt I purchased at my local quilt shop. It was easy to do and there is no quilting when you are finished piecing, just sew blocks together and snip. It makes a great baby quilt as you can throw it into the washer often. The more you wash it the better!

Spiraling Rainbow Wallhanging - Class with Cheryl Adam who taught the class and how to "draft" a design using a protractor, yardstick compass and graph paper. We designed our own "template" for cutting into the fabric to form the wedges. This piece contains 521 pieces, with a Mariners Compass in the center.

Not Just Black and White - Black and White challenge with Pieces of the Heart Guild. We selected a crayon from a paper bag which is the only color that was to be used in the challenge. I designed, pieced and quilted this wall hanging for the challenge. My quilt won 1st prize at the Guild meeting winning a quilting gift. I was to enter it in the Quilt Show, however, I did not get it there in time.

Fish Nets - A class with Heritage Quilters of So Suburbia given by Mickey DePre. It was great fun to draw our fishes and then meander quilt with different threads.

Mystery quilt - This was a mystery block of the month, done by my quilt guild. We started with the center block then each month added a new and different border!

Drei Schoene Blumen (Three Beautiful Flowers) - Made for my cousin's niece in Germany. Made a total of three very similar quilts. So that each of us could have one and think of each other. Very sadly the German niece, Ursula, died before receiving it. Her husband, Peter, now has hung it on his wall and remembers the three of us when he looks at it.

MOMMA'S HANDS - Serendipity was the way that this one came together. When my nana was living I traced her hands on a calender page along with my aunt and mother and hand appligued them to snow ball blocks. in their palms there is each member's initials. My brother wrote a poem that was printed on fabric and appliqued on oven mitts which was a family joke cause Nana and the mothers never used them. Our generation always did. There are two of these quilts that were made and now that Nana is gone they are very special. My mother lives with me so I get to enjoy one.

Indi's Quilt - I have taught Chenille Classes for our local quilt shop. This is a simple five layer quilt. it has three layers of muslin in between two layers of heavy flannel. The top flannel is orange polka dots purchased at JoAnnes. The bottom is a bright floral purchased there also. The sewing lines are 1/2 inch apart. I sewed 1/2 in one direction and then the other half diagonal to that so that both were on the biaz. The binding is double fold regular cotton.

Nayvee's quilt - I used 1 1/2 inch strips to give a finished look of 1inch. I used fabrics colors pulled out of a large picture that hangs in Nayvee's nursery.

Blue Star - Making star quilts is a family tradition that has been on-going in my family for three generations. Now two of my daughters are carrying on this tradition into the fourth generation. This quilt was used as a 'Give Away' blanket for my Grandma who had passed away just a few months before her 101st birthday. It is 86"X95" with a beautiful pattern of light blue, sky blue, white, and navy blue. I made and hand quilted this 100% cotton quilt by myself. This Blue Star for my Gramma was alot of work but well worth it. My grandma used to keep me every summer for at least two months sometimes three. She is actually the first one who taught me to sew by hand when I was seven years old. In Native American traditions, star quilts are often given to honor an individual in memory of a lost loved one.

logcabin twin - This is one of a set of two similar quilts done for my twin Grand Daughters Sadie and Tatum. I always do a 36 square log cabin baby quilt for each of my children's families.

Katrina 2 Fundraiser Quilt - Ladies from around the world contributed blocks for this quilt as a fund raiser for Katrina. The blocks were assembled in Australia. I was the successful bidder on Ebay. One block was mine and two of the blocks were made by my students.

Out of Africa - Love the AFrican colors and found a print which was my inspiration center-piece. I made this quilt for my mother who added a sun room on to her home and decorated with an African theme.
