Claude Bernard - Made for my dad who was in the VA nursing home until he passed. He loved the color red and the white/black/green coordinated perfectly. I had embroidered X's along the edge.
Chris's Christmas Quilt - This quilt took 2 1/2 years to complete and has nearly 3000 pieces. It is made from the "Early American Tinware" collection and has just one block pattern (yankee puzzle) for both the center and border(except 3 blocks are comprized of initials).
Starry Starry Night - Made in 2002 for my 2nd grandchild on his 1st birthday. It is bordered with mock ribon and the words "starry starry night" The backing is soft flannel and the quilt is tied with orange ribbon with the white/blue squares machine quilted.
Name of Maker: Louisa Betts (w help by April and Barbara Hawkins)
The Shirts Off My Back - Granddaughter April (& Mom) arrived with a suitcase of t-shirts. April found a picture she liked online, and we all began to draft the pattern and cut & interface the blocks. Then I completed the quilt after they returned home. My original quilting design done on my Bernina Aurora 440 using the BSR with clear sole. We were unable to contact the poster of the picture of the overall design we borrowed to make this quilt, but it was called Josh's Quilt and was found on the 16th page of Google Image search in mid August, 2007.
10th Anniversary Quilt - Present for my husband for our 10th. I wanted to emulate intense Amish colors, and added a non-conventional touch with gold stitching.
Elisheva's baby quilt - I made this for my friend's new baby, with her name and Hebrew birthday appliqued on. I tried to use newborn-friendly colors, and machine-quilted pomegranates around the border.
Malka and Chezki's wedding quilt - This is my fourth quilt, made for my cousin Malka's wedding - she's on the left. I found the knot in a book of Celtic graphics and handstiched it on with ribbon. I felt that the quilt is somewhat regal, and fits Malka's name, which means, "Queen."
Square Dancing Around Town - I designed my verions of this quilt using EQ5. I scanned the fabrics so I knew how the final quilt would look, plus it helped greatly to get all the square dance blocks in their proper place.
Untitled - This quilt is for my parents in law. While "Geese" are a traditional pattern this general layout idea did come from a published source, I just don't no where I saw the idea.
