Eleanore's Psychology Quilt - Made for my sister to celebrate her graduation from Lock Haven University with a B.S. in Psychology. Represents different areas of psychology; Fibonacci numbers dictated proportions for the layout.
Victorianna Meets the Wild Wild West - First attempt at making a crazy quilt. I'm still adding embroidery, buttons, lace, etc... It might possibly never be totally completed.
Sacred Heart - Copyright-free images of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary photo-transferred and pieced inside Feathered Star blocks. Made for my mother.
Isabella's Rag Quilt - My dear cat, Isabella, was close by as this was made. I saw the techinque on Simply Quilts and drew a heart to fit the size square I wanted to use.
Marvin's Memory Quilt - This lap size quilt was made with Laurel Burch cat print fabric as a gift to my veterinarian who lovingly cared for my cat during his last years. It is machine pieced and quilted in a grid pattern.
STAR OF WONDER QUILT - I CREATED THIS QUILT USING THE STAR OF WONDER PANEL FROM NANCY HALVORSEN'S CHRISTMAS COLLECTION. I WAS TRYING TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE PANEL SO THOUGHT I WOULD USE A STAR BLOCK PATTERN TO GO AROUND THE PANEL. THE REST JUST KIND OF FELL INTO PLACE TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING FIT. I THINK IT CAME OUT VERY NICELY AND IS BETTER THAN JSUT ADDING BORDERS!!
SIMPLY STRIPPY - MY VERY BEST FRIEND MADE THE STRIP BLOCK THEN I ADDED THE CORNERS AND BORDERS. I WAS SO SURPRIZED AND TOUCHED THAT SHE WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE THESE BLOCKS FOR ME SO I HURRIED UP AND FINISHED THE QUILT. WE ARE USING IT IN OUR QUILT SHOP PRESENTLY AS A SAMPLE BUT I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO GET IT HOME
Bridge over Troubled Water - This started with a panel piece with sky and water and trees. I added the remaining parts to create this bridge scene. It was my first landscape quilt and it was for a local guild Challenge with the theme of "Music," so I selected the song "Bridge over Troubled Water." It tied for 4th place.
Dancing Leaves - This is the BACK detail of the first image shown of Dancing Leaves. Each block was individually created by doing applique for the leaves, then individually quilting each block (49 of them) and finally assembling each from the back only with hand-binding so all lines are completely straight and lined-up.
Liquid Nature - My first quilt of the type. Since it was also the largest quilt I had made as of then, I didn't know how to quilt it on my Bernina tabletop, so I hired a fabulous quilter I met in Petaluma to do it and she did a marvelous job. The entire quilt was done in a month over summer. Mostly Batiks - my favorite.
