Makayla's Welcome-to-the-World Quilt - This quilt is made with Minkee, chenille and 100% cotton. A really fast design, but a walking foot is essential. Don't sew in black pants as I did without a lint brush handy, the chenille and Minkee lint quite a bit.
Spirit of the Desert - The original quilt was made by the wife of the Sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona, in the late 1800's. The center block is hand appliqued and the border is machine-pieced. The quilt is entirely hand quilted.
Fallen Leaves - I used stitch-in-the-ditch quilting plus some addition of circles and half-circles to repeat the pieced design. Embroidered leaves were added for dimension.
Funtastic Forty - A Moda fabric panel and coordinating fabrics from the Camp Wilderness line were used. Blocks reflect 40 years of son's life. They were machine pieced and appliqued using various techniques.
Floral Fanfare - The flowers were fussy cut and embellished with decorative threads and stitches-- Some were not stitched down to create dimension. Three repeating bargello motifs were used in the border.
Mask - Made in workshop with Karen Musgrave, using stitch & flip piecing and Karen's technique for creating "puzzle pieces" that fit together precisely and are joined edge to edge.
Vehicles in motion - Start quilt for Aaron when he was 5...he kept asking to add newly purchased cars, truck, motorcycles and semis - I knew I had to finish it before the quilt became too large!!!!
Nowegian Flower Garden - This is an applique pattern that I did by making freezer paper stencils and painting with Paintstiks. I loved to look of Rosemalling and being Norwegian I had to have the pattern. But after 5 years and no time to applique I decided using by Paintstiks I could get the quilt finished.
