The Passion -- Of Quilting - This was my first attempt of a lap quilt that was totally hand pieced. I ran out of the white fabric and through the internet I was able to find two more pieces to finish the top. I am still deciding on the quilting pattern to use. It is currently hanging on my design wall for inspiration.

Ian the rabbit - This quilt was made for Melissa on the occasion of her going to the University. The quilt is named after her then pet Ian, since she could not keep a pet on the university campus ground the quilt sought of consoled her. Today Ian is no more but the memory lives on. I have hand quilted Ian on the centre of the blocks.

Seashells - The shells were fussy cut from fabric and appliqued onto the background. Several of the shells have been stuffed trapunto style for added dimension.

Mystery quilt - This was a mystery quilt done from the planet patchwork website.

Ashlyn's Kittens - I made this for my granddaughter, who is about to be born any day. It is backed with checkered pink Minkee.

1st Convergence Quilt - This was my first convergence quilt. I had a blast making it.

AHQG 2004 Raffle Quilt - This quilt was made as the raffle quilt for the Artful Hands Quilt Guilds 2004 Show. Cindy Cantin and I did the embroidery, I did the construction and Linda Publicover did the long arm quilting. I was president and Show Chair that year. Another member, Sandy White, won the quilt. At the last meeting of the year the guild presented it back to me as the end of the year - Sandy had donated it back to the guild. I was speechless. It was a wonderful gift.

M&M Icream Wedding Ring - Made this in a class, using acrylic templates. Call it M&M Ice Cream because the background fabric looks like melted M&M IceCream!

My Crazy Pillow - I purchased this kit to make a Crazy Quilt Block from the Pepperell Pepper Patch. It was for my own Past President's Challenge for my guild. I made it into a pillow.

Tree of Life - This is a hand appliqued, hand quilted wall hanging. It took 7 years to complete. My teacher and the pattern designer was Cindy Cimo.

Founders Day Quilt - I won this quilt at the Foxboro Founder's Day Celebration several years ago. It was raffled by the NewComers Group in town as a fund raiser. But I know nothing about the quilter or the pattern - the quilt did not have a lable. I do know it was long arm machine quilted by Linda Publicover of All About Quilts Walpole, MA.

My First Quilt - This was my first quilt. I started taking a hand piecing class. Most blocks are hand pieced. It is all hand quilted.

Watercolor Welcome - I collected fabrics for about three years to get the variety of values that I needed to make this small quilt. It was a lot of fun to collect the fabric and then to play around with the small squares till I liked the way everything was placed.
