Desert Sunset - My daughter made this quilt when she was 13 just last year. It is her 2nd quilt. It has approximately 990 pieces. The block was from the Quilter's Cahce website. Stephanie just set her blocks in a different pattern than suggested. Itsn't it Gorgeous?!
Waste Not Want Not - I created this small art piece using all the batik leftovers from my MN Challenge piece Northern Lights 1. It is a work in progress. It still needs binding and beaded fringe that I want to attach along the bottom edge.
My Blooming Nine Patch - I pieced and quilted this for my friend Sandilee Snyder. Pieced on my treadle, quilted on my longarm. The dark around the outer edge is a deep burgundy which doesn't show up well in the picture.
Plaid Cats in my Botanical Garden - !2 block of the month, colored and embroidiered. Sashed in greens, teals, purples and blues, with plaid paw prints in the borders.
Bill's Bees & Tulips - I used applique designs from Life in the Country With Country Threads to depict my husband's favorite childhood memory of watching bees buzz in and out of tulips.
Stepping Stones in Hawaii - My very good friend lived in Hawaii most of her life and when I met her 27 years ago in Kona I found she was born in the very same hospital as I was in Chicago.
Hawaiian Plants in Redwork - My husband bought a bolt of batik fabric at a garage sale for $5.00. I had done the redwork blocks a couple of years earlier and then realized how perfect the fabric was.
Bali's for Baird - Quilt center was presented as my president's quilt by Burke QU in Burke, VA. I added the borders. The label is signed by all hose in the guild.
Lyrical Spheres - I made this quilt using a gadget called the Spin Ruler from Connie "Bee" Quilts. There was an article about the ruler in American Quilter magazine, Spring 1997.
