Campbell's 9-Patch

Quilted Diamonds

Baby Fingers - 4" blocks are quilted at the seam lines, which also have rickrack sewn over seam lines. The first quilt I ever made.

Posy Pots - When I saw this quilt demonstrated on "Simply Quilts" I liked it so much I made it the first full-size quilt I've made and completed.

Here fishy, fishy!

Enchanted - The original pattern was for a small wall hanging. I loved the pattern and made a larger version of the quilt.

Scraps & Orphan Blocks - Quilt was published in "Sampler Quilts" # 49, after "Quilt" magazine ran a request for Orphan Blocks. Wow, was I suprised!

Lakehouse Quilt - This quilt is made for the back of the couch at my Mom and Dad's lakehouse in western Illinois. The design is inspired by a quilt I saw in a magazine, although I simplified it a bit as I'm still somewhat new to quilting. As for the quilting itself, it is not my strength and I definitely need more practice so I used invisible thread so it wouldn't stand out. I used a tulip pattern on the blocks, a circular swirl on the inside border and a rope-like stencil on the outer border. Thanks for looking, Julie

california comfort - I began this quilt in a Vicki Johnson workshop. Painted from a springtime photo of the hills above Morro Bay. A blanket of fog over the ocean.

Sarah's Dragon Detail - This is the detail of Sarah's Dragon.

Sarah's Dragon - My daughter, Sarah, loves dragons so this wallhanging became her Christmas Gift. The three roses stand for her and her two beautiful daughters, Gabrielle and Sarena. Thread painting.

Prominent Tulips - BATIK QUILT

Trevor's soccer quilt - This is backed with old jean pieces that were cut to fray, but when I washed it the lint generated clogged the washing machine and we almost threw out the machine. I cleaned out the motor out in the driveway and it started working again. Learned a hard lesson.
