Sunbonnet Sue in New York - This quilt was part of an exhibit at the 2001 Houston International Quilt Festival called America, From the Heart. It was auctioned for Charity along with 100 other quilts raising over $25,000 for the children of victims. A book of this exhibit was printed by C&T publishing. Called "America from the Heart", the book is now out of print. This small remembrance quilt of September 2001 depicts the way New York was at the beginning of September (top block), September 11th (middle block) and the days following when New Yorkers gathered around the “wall of prayers” (bottom). We will never forget.

daughter's pink pleasure - Just found lots of pink material my daughter liked and put it together.

Oriental patchwork - multiple oriental brocade stitched in patchwork pattern with satin backing. Double layer of batting.

Sunbonnet Sue in America - This quilt is the result of a nifty-fifty swap "Sunbonnet Sue in American". It was conceived in 2001 and finished in 2006. Quilters were recruited from all 50 states to make a block to represent their state. We each made 50 blocks, swapped them, and this quilt is the results. I travel and lecture on Sunbonnet Sue quilts and this one is always a show-stopper!

memories of Grandpa - Just wanted to make a memory quilt for J.R. of his grandfather. Decided to make it into a pillow, so he is able to take it with him where ever he goes.

Runner's T-Shirt Quilt - My husband is a runner and was getting way too many race T-shirts, so I decided to make this quilt for him.

Sydney's quilt - This is my first quilt. I made it because I love my aunt's dog, Sydney. So I made it for her. I designed it myself, and made it myself. It is machine pieced and machine quilted. I put the binding and the label on by hand. Next I am going to make a quilt for my dog, Cider.

Kyla's Cats - This quilt was made for my granddaughter. I used foundation sheets. The printed fabric is kitty cats, which my granddaughter loves.

Tree of Life - A gift for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. The phototransfers are my parents, my sister and I with our spouses and the 3 grandchildren and are surrounded by Celtic Applique. Pieced background.

25th Anniversary Quilt - I really like batik fabrics. This quilt was made in my 2nd quilt class and it's the 3rd quilt I made. The thread used in quilting was a magenta that worked beautifully.

Love's Blossoms - A handpainted tree form on a panel was the basis of this family tree quilt. I threadpainted the entire tree and added family photos beginning with Grandparents (trunk), parents, children and then the great-grandchildren are in the borders. This was made for my Grandmother's 90th Birthday celebration!

no name-my first hand made quilt - these are hearts that are appliqued on pieces that are not exactly square. The inspiration is a quilt that often appeared on the set of Simply Quilts. I started it before I saw the pattern in Alex's book--can't remember name of the book. It actually has one small 'claw' hole because I have a bad cat. Otherwise it is mint condition because it has been --and will not be--any where but my wall.

Okey Doke - I designed this quilt in Electric Quilt while watching a TV program in which one character kept saying "Okey Doke", hence the name of the quilt:-)) The pattern is available for purchase through Quiltbug.com

Burgoyne Surrounded - This is my favorite quilt. It's a king size and resides on my bed most of the time. I can't find the pattern that was in Quilter's Newletter so I can't tell you what year it was published. It had a wonderful story about the history of this quilt block and the real battle that inspired the block back in 1772. I redrew the pattern into Electric Quilt and resized to to fit my bed. It was lots of fun collecting fat quarters in red and off white. Thanks to Margo who emailed me the the Quilter's Newletter edition my pattern was made from. You'll find on pg 24 for the November 1996 Issue #287.

Bubble Bath - Paper pieced baby quilt.
