Girls Spin - Colors are hot pink, lime green,and two tone pink stipe. Sorry colors are not clear in photo.

Light in the sky - Stepping Stones and Town Square blocks used. Lesson, TEST block patterns first!! My fist traditional blocks pattern.

J. T. Graduation - Made with fabrics from the four years that I had been quilting, these string quilt blocks had scraps from presents made for a number of his relatives, my relatives and the wounded members of the Armed Services during his high school years. The backing fabric was two remnants of Laurel Birch flannels. As he will begin his college years at the Univ. of Minnesota, he assured me this will cheer up his drab college dorm room. Who knew I'd guess right? That is what I'd hoped for when I started this scrap buster.

Florentine Window - Raised with the tradition of the Episcopal church, I was always inspired by the stained glass windows of the church's great cathedrals. Raised by talented sewing mom, I made this rendition of a fabric gothic cathedral window. The name of the fabric was Florentine. With "fabric too pretty to cut into", a nearby stained glass artist provided me the shape of the gothic window. I centered the pattern and fussy cut the window, machine appliqued it to the black ground fabric and added prepared gold fusible 1/4 bias. Quilting was the easy part as the design dictated the quilting.

Beyond the morning - Challenged myself to use a lot if brown fabrics. Had to add the green in the end. Stole an hour early morning and had a lot of fun. Nothing is straight

Tea Cupz - Bright crazy fabrics in a very crooked design.

Nurit's TShirt Quilt - For Nurit's high school graduation, she gave me all of her high school "memory" t-shirts and I made this quilt. I had no real plan in mind - just cut them all the same width and started laying them out until it was (almost) rectangular. The quilt is now on her bed in the dorm room.

I Spy - This quilt was a baby present for Leo. There are 64 different novelty fabrics, and the borders are embroidered with the items to search for.

Blue bed - This is my largest quilt yet. It is like a bedspread on my double bed.

Seeing Purple and Blue - I drew this pattern after watching a show on Simply Quilts. I do not remember the guest on the show.

Koi - After finishing the convergence quilt, I added circles and stripes.

Brights and Blues for David - I made this for my son. It turned out to be great for the game "I Spy".

Whole Celtic - This was the product of a whole cloth class I took. I was really excited to find a trapunto method that was not difficult. Thanks to Debra Murphy.
