Mount Rose, Foothills, Truckee River & Sagebrush - Mount Rose, the foothills, the Truckee River and the Truckee Meadows sagebrush with the 20th Century Club Logo. Steel bar inside top sleeve secures it to podium for club meetings.
Hawaiian & Pineapples for 90th Birthday - Made for Mother's 90th birthday, 90 seven-inch pineapple blocks surround a 21" Hawaiian applique block. Center is hand appliqued and hand quilted. Pineapple blocks are machine pieced and quilted.
"Organized Chaos" - This is just another of my collection of kaleidoscopes and actually the 5th of this particular pattern. The 100% cotton fabric was a print of bright yellow and gold daises amongst other florals and greenery. What can I say, I'm addicted.
Heron Pond - I got a new Bernina 730 & wanted to test the BSR - it is fantastic! You can see the accuracy of the stitches in the free motion leaves surrounding the pond and outlining the leaves in the border. This started as a kit, got swapped mostly for fabrics in my stash, and was enhanced with extra machine quilting. Also added decorative stitches to attach binding and was pleased with results. Love that BSR!
Lacee's Ruby Wedding Ring - I had six weeks to make this - yikes! I got it done in three, lots of things I could have/would have done differently if I had more time. Designed in EQ6, machine pieced and quilted on my Pfaff 2040.
Maine woods - I used mostly blocks from the North Woods collection but switched a couple of blocks from other McKenna Ryan patterns to make it more like Maine woods.
JDs North American Bear Paw - This interesting design swirls and interlocks in a complex way that reminds me of our son John, a complex, sometimes hidden, sometimes revealing personality that is always fascinating. We love you JD!
Mom's Quilt - I made this quilt because I loved the pattern - but when it was finished it reminded me of my Mom, so decided to give it to her. She has a sunny disposition and loves flowers so the quilt was a perfect fit with her personality!. I think she will be able to use it one or two days per year in Mesa, AZ!
Great pattern! This quilt went together quickly!
Pink Sunbonnet Sue - Painted Sunbonnet Sue blocks purchased by my Grandmother and quilted by my Great Aunt Elsie and her Church Ladies. This quilt was on my bed for a few years while growing up.
Summer Memories - I wanted to capture two memories in this Journal Quilt from this summer. The first memory was my daughter and my attendance in La Veta, CO at the taping of The Quilt Show. The guest for that show was Jean Wells, who shared her techniques from her new book "Portraits of Nature". The second memory was from my morning walks - lots of beautiful flowers along the way on my ~2 mile walk! I appreciate the rich colors of these flowers and their brilliance and stregnth at dawn!
