Stars...Forever - I designed this quilt as a tribute to my dad who was in the US Army for 37 years and my son, Sean, who is in the Army and, at the time, serving his second 14-month tour in Iraq. (I'm happy to say he is now safely home!
Turning over a new leaf - I took a class in Duluth, Mn with Laura on threads, and purchased one of her other patterns. I did add the leaves in the corner which were not in the pattern. I also added thread painting on the leaves.
Prairie Album - Originally designed as a block-of-the-month to teach hand applique techniques. Eventually became a book, published by Kansas City Star Books.
unnamed - Presumably made by unknown family member, probably in the area of Nunda, NY. Top is from 3rd quarter of 19th century, per AQS appraiser. One of my most prized possessions.
Paris Breeze - I was making a class sample from this pattern and realized after a couple blocks were made that I was going to have to change them to "on point" or my trees were going to lean as if they were in a hurricane!! LOL...(not a mistake...a "design opportunity!) I loved the way it turned out!!
My Favorite Things - My entry in a Wal*Mart contest with the theme "My Favortie Things." I won at the local level and then lost owndership when it was sent to corporate for the national judging. Current locationi unknow.
Terry's - Made for my husband to celebrate his Master's Degree and given to him on his birthday. One of the first I've quilted on my mid-arm and I'm not very good at straight lines yet.
Sunshine and Shadow in Pink - I ordered the book immediately after seeing Blanch Young demonstrate Sunshine and Shadow on Simply Quilts. The picture doesn't do it justice.
