JMS Graduation quilt - Our daughter and friends were graduating from Kindergarden at the Montessori school and I wanted to make a wall hanging that would leave a memoto from all the children for the school. I worked with the students in painting their feet and letting them walk across the fabric to make a unique foot print. Then I found the Marie Montessori saying, "Development is a series of rebirths" and embroidered that for the center of the wall hanging. The students had great fun with it and the school loved it.

Modern Mission - Using art deco style fabric from Robert Kaufman, I created this "mission" look in stained glass.

I dream of Bernina - I had just bought a Bernina 1230 and accepted some blocks from fellow Bernina owners to make this quilt to enter in BU where it got an honorable mention. Still have that Bernina plus 2 more and 3 sergers. One for each granddaughter to use and eventually own. I freehanded embrodiered and appliqued an exact copy of the 1991 BU program and my 1230 (used a magnifying glass to copy stitch patterns correctly.

Gloria - I used my blocks from a World Swap...the blocks were all 6 1/2" and I sewed them on point and filled with triangles...

Grammy's Garden - My first miniature quilt. I hope to do a lot more.

Oriental Grace - I took a class at a local quilt shop and used the most gorgeous Oriental fabrics I could find. My sister-in-law liked it so much, she asked me to leave ot to her in my Will. I didn't want her hiring a hit man, so I made her one almost exactly like it.

Red and Black - I made dozens of 4" blocks at "Strips that Sizzle" class taught by Margaret Miller in 2002. I didn't put any blocks together until asked to donate a quilt to an auction to support a missionary trip. I donated this through my group, "Quilters with a Mission".

Jill's Dogs - These are my daughter-in-law Jill's dogs, who are her "children".

Orental Flavor - My second quilt made. Used embroidery accents

My Favorite Hat - This was made for my co-worker and friend who loves giraffes and also wears a lot of hats.

Bargello Computer Bag - Computer bags are too dull for me. So I designed my own. Bright cottons in bargello on denim, then lined with more sturdy denim. The shoulder strap is double sewn into the lining all the way around the bag for added strength. Plastic canvas inside makes a snug spot for the laptop. There are pockets inside for power cords and other cables. There's still room for wallet, camera, a book, knitting and anything else I need to take with me. The long flap keeps everything inside without needing a clasp.

Hailey's Quilt - Appliqued blocks embellished with hand embroidery set on red and white Hawaiian print fabric, backed with white fleece.

Harvest Time - Working from the center out it is almost like strip piecing. Very simple and due to fabric very warm

Autumn Lone Star - I think I was longing for a Colorado autumn when I chose these fabrics. The changing of seasons is one thing I really miss by living in Arizona.

Metallic Landscape - Created in a class taught by Marjan Kluepfel at the Denver Quiltfest in 2006. The metallic fabrics became addictive and are from Jeanettes Fabric to Dye for.

Danielle's Star - Brillant Lone star. Each diamond has 9 pieces in it. This is a paper pieced quilt.

Julia's Quilt - Rectangular blocks in lavendar and teal. Backed and bordered with furry fleece.
