Pleasant Dreams - Gift for our Veterinarian and his wife, for their many years of care and compasion for our four legged companions. Dogs held down the corners for me as I was sewing on binding, so this was truly a group effort!
Funny Bunny - First quilt using a Buggy Barn pattern. Local quilt shop hosted a sewing day where they would pre-cut your material, and on the day of the event, had people to assist by pressing, advising and trimming. Great way to meet other quilters and learn a new technique.
Andy's Dandy - For Christmas 2006 my mom decided "we" should make lap quilts for the whole family. Her Grandson-in-law Andy was the lucky recipient of this 9 patch made from batiks in the stash.
Autumn Wonder - We called this quilt Autumn Wonder because we wondered how many leftover autumn fabrics we could use up making this project. My mother sewed, father trimmed and subcut with rotary cutter, and when they were through I long arm quilted. Quilt was then donated to a local youth organization for a silent auction and fundraising drive.
10,000 Lakes - This quilt was donated for a fundraising event where I work. We had 23 quilts donated that year and were able to help many local families in need.
Pinwheel Stars - I love pinwheels and this quilt takes it to a new level. I loved the primary colors against the black polka dot background. Its paper pieced and I will be machine quilting in with a unique shaped edge.
Autumn Leaves - A present for my mother's 75th birthday (29th March, 2005) - in the Autumn of her life (and, besides, she loves autumnal colours). Alternate squares left blank - another opportunity to include feathered wreaths. A more formal quilting design with cross hatching between the leaves and the wreathes.
A Sailor's first Voyage - this quilt is about my son's first navy cruise. He was involved in the great Tsunami in Banda Acheh. Each block represents the ports the ship stopped at.
Rings of Fire - Varied shades of red and orange rings on a bright yellow spokes, on a black background Bordered with bright orange and bright yellow A falling black little figure superimposed on a ring. Guild challenge-to create a quilt based on a country western song.
TheNutcracker - I created this for my piano students. I put it up in December and ask them what musical piece from the Nutcracker does it represent. Do you Know?
Scrap Happy - I made this out of all kinds of scraps to practice on the first time I used a long-arm machine.
The back is also made out of all sorts and shapes of leftover scraps.
