Brooke's Quilt - A bright and cheery quilt to go along with my daughter's personality! Brooke was almost 4 years old when I made this for her new room!

Sashiko and Octagons - Kitty Pippen's book really knocked me out! After reading this book I went back and looked at my fabric stash, and discovered I already had quite a few Asian fabrics. Sashiko is such a lovely, dainty addition to a quilt, I instantly fell in love with it and just had to try it.

Twin Motorcycles - After making the "Frogs" quilt for their mother, the twins wanted quits of their own. These are backed with Flames fabrics, blue and red, and quilted with a motorcycle panograph. Now Dad wants a quilt too --- of SNAKES!

Tommy's Dragon - This dragon appeared on a pocket of a t-shirt that Tommy wore till it literally fell apart. I scanned the pocket on my HP scanner, and enlarged it to make a 40-inch-long applique. The dragon is machine-appliqued on to Jinny Beyer fabric and very finely quilted (Tommy's still a little guy so the quilt had to be durable and washable).

African Rainbow - Fell in love with this when I saw it at the Road to California in a vendor's booth a couple of years ago and bought the book right then and there-but made the quilt two years later. The fabrics are batiks and hand-dyes mixed with animal prints-leopard, tiger,zebra. I made this quilt for my sister, who worked at a Wild Animal Park for more than twenty years.

Pretty in Pink - All different pink 100% cotton fabrics. Made for a new baby girl.

Summertime - Love red and I am always inspired by traditional colors and solids

Almost Amish - Machine pieced, hand quilted/ machine quilting in white grid. I sat with an Amish lady who taught me hand quilting one afternoon. She said after 6 hours of practice I would become better and better. Many callouses, and many hours later she was correct.

Twirli-Gigs - Made in honor of their wedding :- )

Love-Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow - When first married, Love was fresh and new and innocent, now dealing with addiction & recovery of my beloved some days my heart hangs by a thread, and because Love endures all and never ends, but the healing leaves some scars. Made because Ricky challenged us to enter the MicroCosmos Show...the quilts were chosen for the show and on their way to LaVeta now!

A Visit With Chantelle - Chantelle, my second, hangs in our living room window (which looks out to nowhere). The fabric is cotton with gold imprint. The flower and leaves are three dimensional.

Remembering Aunt Cora #1 - In honor of my great aunt, I am making a series of teacup quilts. #1 was for her grandson. I adapted Attic Windows to represent her china cupboard with its display of cups.

Circles of Love - Anniversary Quilt - doube wedding ring - marriage golden thread - 50 years blue - the dress she wore approx. 30,400 colonial knots used in design children & grandchildren names & dob embroidered there

Following Ricky's Star - One of my Harmonic Convergence series. Center was made with Ricky's hand dyed fabric. Converged stars and borders are commercial fabric.

This was from a lone star quilt book. Isn't it pretty

Carnegie's Quilt - The sailboat certainly isn't an original block, but I wanted to play around with a 'single block quilt'. The quilt was made for a friends first baby, Miss Carnegie. And yes, they have a sailboat.

Santa in the Snow - This an adaptation of an applique pattern that I bought - I added snow, embellishments and some different fabric combinations.

Aunt Louise's quilt - I made this quilt while taking a class w/ Laura Nownes.
