Vintage Stitches - I embroidered all the preprinted pictures by hand. The embroidery took me longer than the piecing but was well worth it.

Riding Stars Tablerunner - I started this as I was riding along with my husband in a big rig. Although I won't make any more trips in a big rig, I will make many more quilts.

Monterrey Medallion - This quilt had so many pieces I had to put it aside and didn't think I'd ever accomplish it. My work paid off with a Best of Show ribbon!

Garden Paths To Harmony - This was made as a challenge quilt. The challenge fabric is the beige/rooster fabric. It was also the next to last challenge offered in "My" quilt shop "Quilters Palette" before it went out of business. Winning this challenge was bitter-sweet.

Countryside Cottage - This is a simple kit quilt that took me a couple of years to make but got me going in the quilting world and now I can't stop!

Taylor's Quilt of Many Colors - Taylor loves batik color fabric. I like color and circles. Voila! I satisfied both of our likes. The circles are all appliqued down.

Let It Snow - Using the "Bear" image from "The Quiltmaker's Gift' fabric, I used the bear in the center of each Crazy Block. I also used red dotted and aqua dotted fabrics to represent Snow while the bears are hybernating.

Wandering Nature - Building on my experience with Stack-n-Whack and Friendship Stars, I added the Flying Geese. Oh My.

The Pieceable Kingdom - A challenge quilt that never made it into the competition because the quilt ended up larger than the required dimensions. I wrote the following around the perimeter: "...and on the day He rested a woman searched the earth, the sky and the seas...gathering , collecting, dreaming...and while singing, laughing and dancing She gathered bits of color, images of movement...She created 'The Pieceable Kingdom.' This is a good day...Let us rejoice!"

The Spinning Garden - A feast for the eye. Marvelous color and visual movement.

Crystal Snowflake - A dear friend created a scavenger hunt to cheer me up. It worked! I found the material in several different rooms and the Diane Phalen Quilts book in the library. Together with another friend we made three different color versions of this pattern.

Baskets - I haave always been drawn to basket quilts, but avoided them until I saw this one that didn't require any applique. It is handquilted using an all-over Baptist fan pattern.

Sailing, Sailing - This quilt was one in my series of miniatures.

The First Star I See Tonight - I have always loved stars and wanted to make a quilt in which the blocks were different sizes. I love this quilt over my fireplace!

Falling Leaves - This is my very first attempt at applique. It is a work in progress---- and I'm enjoying it very much. I wasn't sure if I'd like applique, but now I can definitely say, "Yes!"

Mini Houses - This was one in a series of miniature quilts I made. When I think about it-- I can't believe I did it! I used 1/8 inch seams.

Feathered Stars - I made this quilt after taking a feather star class from Marsha McCloskey at the PIQF. The class was great and stretched me!

Long May She Wave - I made this quilt for my brother on the occassion of his 50th Birthday. He is a proud navy veteran and loves our flag and country with his whole heart. "And Long May She Wave" enough said.
