Memories of Mother's Garden - A profusion of flowers and ironwork in the garden were my mother's pride. Since her passing, only the ironwork remains in the garden. I have sewn in family groups from her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. The children especially love to find the family groups and can't wait when there is a new member to add.

Massai Warrior - All my own designs, appliqued and free machine embroidered blocks and panels. Inspiration taken from my trips to Africa. Incorporating my own hand dyed fabrics, and embellished with buttons from my old clothing from the 70's!! An absolute joy to create.

Dragons and Flames for Luke - Quilt Journal – Luke’s Quilt – June 15th, 2007 Today, I finished putting the binding on grandson Luke’s quilt. He likes dragons and fantasy, so it took a while to collect this fabric – mostly from Wal-Mart. The top is done in a Log Cabin pattern, my first, and I used the “Quilt in a Day” book by Eleanor Burns. It was a joy to follow her directions. I sewed it in our motorhome during the winter of 2006-2007. The backing is solid black with a label – To Luke from Mema. I had Linda Denner from Warrensburg, NY machine quilt it. She did a nice job- following the “flames” theme and charged me $110. The quilt size is big.. 62”wide by 102” long.

First Sampler

Jacob's Storm at Sea

Zingers and Curves - The original pattern used sashing strips and cornerstones between the blocks.

Amy's Forever Nines - I combined elements from both patterns to create a "new" one.

Seeds of Faith

Mary's Stars

Sisterly Love - Made for my gorgeous little sister's 40th birthday. i enjoyed making this quilt because it had a number of different techniques. I enjoyed even more seeing my sisters delighted face whwen i gave it to her.

Challenge Quilt - This quilt is made of 1" squares and part of a challenge. Quilts were then donated to a local hospital to be given to families of stillborn babies.

Floral Four Patch - This quilt looks like a four patch on point however it's the applique block that is on point and the whole quilt is pieced in rows

Split the Difference - Mystery Quilt I created my own setting

Sampler - Machine pieced sampler made as a class sample. I was really pleased with my machine quilting.

Strawberry Laurel - Class with Allison Niclair quilt made for my mum to sit on the top of her bed. Machine foundation piece and appliqued, hand quilt as you go.

My Tree - This was my second time making this paper pieced pattern; it was only slightly easier the second time around. I had never paper-pieced prior to this and the "light bulb" just wasn't coming on when I was reading the instructions. Once I figured it out, the wall hanging came together beautifully.

Oh, Happy Day! - Margaret Miller's Angle Play Blocks and a fabulous batik fabric inspired this quilt.
