PJ's 1st Day of Kindergarten - I designed/made this quilt the first few days that my youngest daughter was away at Kindergarten!! Turns out her teacher thought she was a "Shining Star" too!! Please visit my website and then share it with a friend: www.endeavorsoftheheart.com

Just for Ty - The CARS movie is our 4 year old grandson's favorite movie so this is "Just for Ty"

Kelli's Colors - This was made for my daughter to combine the colors she painted in her kitchen and living rooms areas.

A Touch of Spring - This wall hanging was made for a friend for her birthday.

American Cowboy - My Son-in-Law is a cowboy (used to do Broncs in rodeo), a former Marine and loves history so when I saw this pattern it was "him"

Tea in Alice - I made this quilt based on Jane Stickle's "Dear Jane". I had ordered a Lecien Charm set from Ebay and wanted to see what I could do with it. I am really into Lecien fabric right no, so delicate and detailed. Each block is cut differently, and the back of the quilt is it's own pattern as well. I batted this quilt with Quilter's Dream Delux Supreme batting. I used King Tut thread to quilt it in Egyptsy Rose verigation. I used my Bernina 640 to quilt the finished product in my signature "Determined Meandering" technique. The finished product is so similar to the view of the East McDonalds from my dining room window at sunset. Only Lecien fabric was used.

Jesse's Quilt

Ethan's Summer - I was flipping through Martha Stewart's "Blueprint" magazine and found a pattern for Joelle Hoverson's (of Purl Patchwork) bedroom quilt. I have been hording Heather Ross fabric for years and new this would be the perfect quilt to display the wonderful prints I am ready to put in a project. I have prints from Munki munki, Lightening Bugs and other Mysteries. I know it was ment to be when the quilt almost came together by itself. The back is a big beach print with snorklers, fish, people getting sunburned....a lost turtle. Heather Ross is able to depict my childhood in art, I just love her work. I batted the quilt with an organic cotton/wool batting that is made here in Australia and I quilted it with King Tut thread in a verigated blue. I used my signature "Determined Meandering" technique and my Bernina 640 was my sewing computer.

No Red Tractors - This quilt was designed and made for my brother who is a farmer who only has John Deere Tractors. After I cut into the fabric and had the blocks designed I realized that I had fabric with red tractors. so a trip to the craft store and about thirty tractors later painted in the proper green and yellow the quilt could be completed.

Jason Loves Green - This quilt was made entirely from fat quarters of green and off white material using the Minnesota Chain pattern. It was my first attempt at following a published pattern without the guidance of a teacher or someone who had made that pattern previously.

Love in Bloom - Made this as a wedding shower present for my new daughter in law.

Madeline in Paris

Hydrangea Heaven - This was from a kit, but I loved it so much, I had to make it.....

The Wedding Quilt - I took the pattern of Katya's Album and expanded on it. I made it for my son's wedding. They wanted a quilt where everyone who attended the wedding sign a square for the quilt. Being the original pattern was too small I made the squares into 1/2 triangles with dark blue on one side and off white on the other. It worked out perfectly! They, and I, are very happy with how this keepsake quilt came out and it's hanging in their home in the foyer for all to see.

Celebration Indian Style - This quilt is the result of a challenge for our local quilt guild for the 2007 Glendale Quilt Show. It is machine quilted w/ beading, embellished, and fused.
