Lemon Pineapple - Took an online class with Nancy Chong to learn Hawaiian applique. It was a wonderful class. I made mine into a very large pillow.

Tropical Flower Garden in Virginia - I began this quilt when I found out my husband was being air-evacuated from Iraq with injuries. There were long stays in hospitals in Portsmouth and San Antonio while foot re-construction, toe amputations, and knee replacements were done. I needed something I could control while my life was spinning out of control. I chose bright batiks to lift my spirits while I waited. I hand stitched the quilt while my husband was being stitched back together. It took two years to complete the quilt...it is taking longer for my husband, but there is power in prayer. Prayer and quilting...what else do you need?

Hunter's Square - Created two 24x24 inch mini quilts for the backs of our recliners. It was fun to make using my Go Die and then machine quilting.

Summer Breeze - This was an finished topper that I purchased many years ago. I had hopes of machine quilting it myself but it was too big so I finally had it professional quilted and I finished it this year.

Flower Garden - Pandora's Box

Oliver' s world - For my grand daughter Ellie.

Simply Spring Quilt with Giraffe - This pattern was free and wanted to add a little something so I fused the giraffe on the quilt. It was made for a twin girl born in September. For her brother I did the same quilt with blues/greens and fused a octopus on the quilt.

bunny meets round robbin - This was a round robbin project done by 4 members of my guild and I. The applique border was all hand done.

summer dreams

Reversible child's quilt - this is the back of the previous quilt. For my next version of this one, I'm going to put a heart on the reverse.

Reversible Child's quilt - I used the suggestion of the Mixtape quilt and the methodology of Sharon Petersen's Reversible Quilts. The front is mostly fabric from Hawaii and the back is purchased locally. To be donated to Project Linus.

Unknown Absolute, 2. - A continuation of my exploration of the point, defined by Kadinsky as "the unknown absolute" this quilt was inspired by a swirl of hair in my dog's coat.

Bill's quilt - I made this quilt for my brother Bill's 60th birthday. I think he was quiet pleased to receive it, and I enjoyed making it. I tried to use the same colour combinations used in the magazine, as they looked really great, and I think I succeeded.

Roy G. - This quilt was made to use for a free motion quilting class with Leah Day. The quilt pattern was in the materials but did not have a name.

Happy Days Ahead - This picture shows both front and back of the quilt. This was a commission for a beloved granddaughter for a high school graduation gift. The colors are all her favorites. The back used extra pieces from the front along with yardage to make a modern design as an alternate to the "front" stars.

Shadow of Plaids Gone By - This is shadow quilt using a variation of the Ohio Star block. Darker colors create a large star in the background "shadowing" the smaller blocks. It is made up of homespun fabrics.
