Midnight stars - I had all these beautiful dark squares of fabric and decided to throw the bright stars haphazardly onto them. I'm very happy with the results - and it fits my new Arizona home.
Tennessee Waltz - This quilt I started in 2008 with cutting the pieces to put together. I used the Tri Recs tools by Darlene Zimmerman and Joy Hoffman to create some of the blocks for this quilt. The Tri Recs pieces were a bit difficult to make sure they came out the right size but It worked. I plan to make another one of these quilts.
Centennial Sampler - 56 blocks chosen from Judie Rothermel's book of 150 five inch blocks. Pieced and appliqued from 2010 to 2012 using foundation, template and applique methods and hand quilted in 2013.
Crazy Quilt - Decorative stitches and motifs were sewn with my embroidery machine. I added laces, trims, beads and buttons as embellishments. The setting strips are embellished with machine embroidered roses.
Lily Rosenberry - I worked on this quilt for YEARS! It has a BAZILLION berries & it's the same block over and over! But having said all that.. now that it's done I'm in love with it! The secondary patterns that the blocks make are so beautiful, I really love gazing at it!! It truly is a labor of love!
My Tweets BOM - I follow Erin Russek's Blog, she offered this free BOM several years ago I have finally finished it. This entire quilt makes me smile. I love using the bright fabrics against the black background fabric even though it was way out of my comfort zone.
A Tisket, A Tasket - This was a UFO that I had to finish, been in my closet for more years than I care to admit!! I didn't purchase any new fabric, I made myself use what I had from my stash.(so hard!) This was also my first attempt at a scalloped border...this sweet quilt hangs in my hall where every one can enjoy!
Birds to the Nines - Project completed from Jo Morton Club 13 offered at Quilter's Station in Lee's Summit, Missouri. I modified the pattern to feature the beautiful bird toile fabric in the center. Really enjoyed working out of my usual autumn colorway.
Fireworks - I took a class from George Sicilliano and have made two of his patterns. Loving detail this screamed "challenge" to me. 1000 pieces and quilt is 20" x 20" It is foundation pieced.
Honey, Where is My Shirt! - This quilt has been many years in the making with fussy cutting and hand piecing it together at quilting meetings. I love the final result.
Little Hands - This was a raffle quilt for our church preschool. Each child's hand print was traced, fused on to fabric, then appliqued on to a block. The center design is the school's emblem, the figures in the corners are the classroom names, (puppy, bear, bee, turtle and duck).
