Coming Home To Fall Mountains - Lends itself to the Diamond in the Square Amish style pattern but center design is original.

Ballons - I have made this Baby quilt for a friends future grandchild . A boy expected in August

Be There Fun - This was my first block of the month project. I found it challenging to work within the confines of the fabric that was given to us each month. I added Libby Lehman inspired blocks between the pieced ones.

Southern Hawker - This was based on a photo of a Southern Hawker Dragonfly which visited my pond in 2006, and spent quite a lot of time laying eggs. I could get near enough for a good photo. The body of the insect was painted first on silk, then heavily machine embroidered, then appliqued and padded, the wings are machine embroidered plastic to give the transparent effect needed. There is a lot of machine embroidery. The irises in the background are the three colours in my pond, and are machine embroidered.

Quilt Tag - Quilted, quilt tag.

Garden Party - Swap quilt with online group, blocks from 15 members. This is a sampler.

Autumn Winds

Celtic Rhapsody - This quilt began as a study during a Ricky Tims castle retreat.

Windswept Tree - This was my first original design. It was in my sketch book the first time I attend Ricky's retreat at the castle and he helped me bring it to life.

Spiral Lone Star - Took a class to learn strip-piecing construction of a lone star using Jan's book. Chose to use the color wheel and see how many times I could repeat a color wheel as I worked out to the borders.

The Stephens' Rail Fence - 1st quilt finished; made for a daughter and son-in-law as a wedding gift. They selected the color combination and approved the fabrics I chose.

Stars for Reba - made for my granddaughter who was born in April 2006; I added more rows than the pattern mentioned above. The colors were requested by my daughter and son-in-law.
