Miss Emma's Birthday Quilt - This quilt was made for an 80+ year old lady from the New Orleans area. Amazingly, she is still waiting to move back into her house after Katrina. A group of dedicated volunteers, working on her home, decided to give her a much deserved birthday party. I heard about the festivities and decided to send her this quilt.

Val's College Quilt - Valerie is my daughter' best friend since kindergarten. For the first time they were off to different schools (colleges). I wanted to send off this special girl with a special quilt. I love the way the pattern brings together youth (pink) and maturity (rust/green) and thought it was symbolic of college years.

Trip around redville - This pattern was done in wall hanging size and I was making a queen size quilt. I purchased over 25 red fabrics to complete the quilt. I found that trying to use those many reds meant my selection either went toward red orange or burgundy. It was really hard to find a selection of reds that stayed the true cherry red I was wanting to use. It went together like a charm - just one block required ripping because of my inattention.

D.J. and Jessica - I created this portrait for my son and daughter-in-law of their wedding picture.
