My Goldfish pond - This is my goldfish pond filled with beautiful koi.

Quilted Memories

Misty Grapes - I designed this quilt of grapes around two handdyed and batiked fabrics purchased from Lyric Kinard. I love the muted colors and the "misty" feeling of dew in the early morning they give.

Raspberries - This is a new technique I have developed pulling a color palette from either a photo or the fabric then color blending the palette into a contemporary quilt. This particular quilt has over 30 colors pulled from the pealr and the border print.

Trick or Treat - This was in fact my very first quilt. I saw a similar sampler at my Viking Dealer and am a big nut for Halloween. There are 5 Machine Embroidered Blocks in the quilt and the candy corn border I digitized myself in my Viking Software. I've learned a WHOLE lot about quilting since I made this.

Wine & Roses

Two Holidays Runner - This Table Runner is one of my first completed projects. I meant to make 2 seperate ones, but then realized I was short on backing material for one of them and decided to make it reversible! My guild was very proud of me for attempting it, as well as successfully attaching 2-toned binding without showing up with patches of hair missing from my head! LOL I'm really very proud of this. I entered it in a local quilt show as a "Maiden Quilter" entry, but did not win any prizes.

Americana Flag Quilt - I saw a bed quilt similar to this pattern in a catalog many years ago. I loved it and decided to make myself a wall quilt based on it. I made one for my mom and grandma while I was at it.

Animal Safari Quilt - The original pattern for this quilt called for 1930's Reproduction Fabrics. My son wanted a jungle quilt, so I replaced the 1930's prints with animal prints. He loves it!

Crown Topper - I had a few fat quarters I wanted to use and decided to try out some curved piecing. The result is this topper for the towel rack in my bathroom.

Ghana Orphanage Quilt - A group of friends got together to make quilts for an orphanage in Ghana, Africa. We had fun together and were able to give many quilts to the director.

Rebecca's Quilt - I'd previously made a similar quilt for Rebecca's older brother (Josh) when he was born and had initially intended making his in all novelty fabrics. When I couldn't make the light/dark thing work with so many fabrics I substituted bright blue and lime greens for every second quarter circle and quarter background. So when Rebecca was born ... they were waiting. Josh's quilt had the blocks on point and freehand spirals and zig-zag quilting (as did the original design in "Quilts for Kids". For Rebeccas the blocks were "straight" and the quilting more formal - feathered wreaths and crosses.

Four Star Topper - I had some fabrics leftover from a project, so I made this small table topper.

Star Patch Quilt - I needed some art for a giant wall in my loft bedroom. This was my second quilt and I love the way it turned out.
