The Bubblegum Quilt - I took my first class on machine applique, using a block from the Rose sampler book. That was all I needed-I continued and made my very first Quilt. Machine appliqued and since I had just bought my first Bernina sewing machine, I machine quilted it. Love my Bernina

Dragonflies - I joined Pat Sloan's Round Robin Swap (Yahoo) Group. This one is a DIY - Do It Yourself Round Robin. The center is raw-edge applique with a machine blanket stitch.

Ups & Downs of Living in Africa - This was good practice for sewing triangles together and showcased some African fabrics. It was completely random with the pieces pulled from a paper bag and sewn together.

Red and White Christmas Quilt - This quilt is comprised of hundreds of half square triangle blocks, made with Thangles. I finished piecing it at my quilt guild's annual retreat. I love it!

Flannel Quillows - My girlfriend asked me to make her flannel quillows for her grandchildren. Stuffing flannel into a flannel pocket (!?!) Woof! It's a tough one. They are soft, full of heart quilting, and they are now loved.

June 2006 Celebration - The block is from Carol Doak's Yahoo Quilting Group when she started it in June 2006. I made one block way back then and found it too difficult. But I couldn't have all that work go into an orphan block! A few months later, after some paper-piecing practice, I decided to make four more and put them together. I'd had enough by then and put it away for "the future." Time passed and I remembered the quilt as having lots of purple in it. A year or so later, I got the purple quilt out to finish. Purple? -- well, only a teensy-tiny bit in the center squares as it turns out. So it became known as the NOT Purple Quilt. Then I did pick up the tiny bit of purple and put the purple border on. Finally totally finished on March 16, 2007.

Holly's Graduation Quilt - This quilt contains many beautiful batiks, in gorgeous, bright colors. It was given to my daughter as a gift for her graduation from Law School at the University of Virginia. I love sleeping under it when I visit her and her husband in Seattle!

Under the Sea is the Best Place to Be - When I saw this scuba fabric I had to design the quilt. I also made baseball and skiing versions. The pattern is available under my label "BunnyChow Designs."

Ribbon weaving with quilting - The class was of simple ribbon weaving a small rectangle 2 x 3 and placing it on a black silk background and putting it in a picture frame. I took it a step farther and added my quilting skills and made it a wall hanging

Kimonos - The kimonos are made by folding strips of fabric 3 1/2 by 15 inches long and then stitched to the background

Cara's Quilt - This quilt was made for my daughter's new apartment. She chose the fabrics, and was delighted with the finished quilt.

Kaleidoscope - This was by far the most challenging and most fun quilt I have done

Kaffe Fassett Fabrics Beauty - I bought fat quarters of these fabrics at my favorite quilt store, now closed, In the Beginning, in Seattle, WA during a visit to my daughter's. I love the stripes and plaids, and have it hanging in my living room on the brick wall above our fireplace. It complements the terra cotta paint on our living room walls.

Tumbling Blocks of Life - The result of a mystery quilt, done with my online group.

Emily's Quilt - This quilt was made for my granddaughter's first "big bed." I chose 30s/40s reproduction fabrics mainly in purples, oranges, greens. The backing is a Moda flannel print to help keep her warm during the cold Colorado winters.

Road Traveler - I made this for my brother in Oregon in 2006 for his 5th wheel. Instead he put it on the bed in his hauler, a place of honor really! He LOVES this quilt and there will never be another quilt that will be so well received the way this one was.
