Checkerboard Paths Around My GM's Flower Garden - I had always wanted to try this pattern, but don't have the patience for hand piecing an entire quilt. The fabric was provided as part of my local quilt shop's contest to interprete feelings of spring.
"FLOWERBED" SPREAD - FLOWER BLOCKS PATTERNS WERE ORIGINALLY MADE ON POINT. I CHOOSE TO MAKE THEM ON A 12" SQUARE AND DESIGN MY OWN QUILT TO FIT QUEEN SIZE BED.
Black & White All Over - This pattern was designed by Nancy Smith and Lynda Milligan. It was originally made in reds and whites, but my son wanted a "black" quilt. He also instructed the quilt be large enough to totally cover him while lying on the sofa, hence the size!!!
Krissi's Table Runner - I made this table runner for my daughter using Judy Martin's pattern in her book "Knockout Blocks & Sampler Quilts". I loved the teal and cream fabrics.
Scrappy Flag Quilt - I saw the Scrappy Flag Quilt pattern shown on Simply Quilts and made it for my sister-in-law whose home is totally red, white and blue.
My First Quilt - This was my first attempt at quilting after watching Donna Poster on Simply Quilts. It hangs proudly in my dining room....mistakes and all!
FUNNY FARM HAPPY QUILT - THE TOP OF QUILT WITH MY OWN DRAWING, FARM SCENE AND THE QUILT JUST GREW. GOT IDEAS OF COWS FROM A COLORING BOOK, AND MADEUP BLOCK WITH OWN IDEAS.
John's Gone Fishing - I made this quilt for my cousin's son for his 12th birthday. I didn't have enough fabric to put on a border, but I did put piping with the binding.
Lady Liberty Goes to Hawaii - Loved making this New York Beauty style quilt. Karen's book of patterns is well written. It is a scrappy quilt. I made one change...an extra inner border.
Woodland Flora - I made this quilt after taking a class from Ellen Anne Eddy. I used metallic thread, perle cottons, bobbin work, yarn couching etc. This is great fun, as the quilt evolves layer upon layer.
Sunflowers - I started this in a class by Susan Vassalo. Orphan blocks for the background, raw edge applique, embellished with beads and machine embroidery.
