Stairway to Cat Heaven - This pattern is from McCall's Quilting, October 1997 issue and can also be found at http://www.mccallsquilting.com/golden/mg01_pattern/index.html
I made mine at about 50% reduction to hang on the wall.
the marriage quilt - my son is crazy about the Nor Cal star, in which he was born under.
it is done in hot pink and black, it was his wedding colors.
along with the star block, solomons puzzel, which is his name as well.
Hibiscus Stained Glass - I made this quilt in a class taught by Laura Blanchard at Quilter's Corner, Midlothian VA. It hangs on a wall in my Florida room and really classes up the place.
Chameleon Club #3 - My first completed quilt, third in a year long class called "Chameleon Club" that I took at the local quilt shop in Eureka MT, now Jodi's Quilts and More. Although I had completed 2 quilt tops in the series prior to this one, this was the first I actually finished all the way thru to quilting and binding myself. Colors and fabrics were not ones I would normally have been drawn to, but I had a box of fabric I had purchased from a local auction and thought it would be a good way to use up some of these fabrics. We were doing one new quilt every other month for a year and I knew that could be a lot of money in fabrics alone... this was the first quilt I had "quilted". My friend taught me how to do the freemotion style quilting on her Elna home machine, as my then Brother home machine had just died on me and I had not yet purchased a replacement.
Heirloom Quilt - This quilt has heirloom sewing techniques and quilting designs that I learned at Martha Pullen's Heirloom licensing, twin needle pintucks, cathedral windows, lace shaping, shadow aplique', sharks's teeth, and much more.
Log Cabin Memory Quilt - I created this quilt for my sister-in-law for her 40th birthday. She loves sunflowers, which I used as my inspiration for color/fabric choices. Her mother provided all the photos for me to use in the quilt top.
Quilt for Asher - This quilt was designed by Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle and appeared in AP&Q magazine. I changed the size and orientation of the rectangle units. Fun quilt using lots of fabrics!
Feathered Star with trapunto - I made this quilt for my grandma & grandpa for Christmas. The top was finished by Christmas time, but the quilting took me until February to complete. Although I had taken a trapunto technique class, this is the first time I incorporated it into a quilt.
Genealogy Angel - This was a Swap Challenge for Cyberbees, internet quilt guild. Participants swapped 6" squares of fabrics and had to use every single one of them in their design.
