Chosen - I have had a lifelong love of horses, and the Arabian breed I find to be the most compelling of all in their beauty and heart. A Bedouin myth states that this horse was created out of a sandstorm as a gift from Allah to those nomadic people. Over 175 pieces of fused, raw edge appliqué, fabric inks, paints, colored pencils, and 50+ hours of hand beadwork, crystals and shisha mirrors helped bring this event to life.

Legend of Zelda's Cat - Hour glass blocks + original blocks & applique to make quilt based on my 2nd son's favorite video game. The back is an improvisatinal pieced large cat, per his request. 

Avery's Butterfly Garden - I used Nancy Halvoren's butterfly pattern in her book Curiosities & Mischief to make the quilt. I added the flower garden border. My granddaughter likes the minky backing probably better than the quilt.

table scraps - I made a queen bed quilt to keep and wanted to use up the scraps. This is what I did with them.

Full Moon Watching - This is a little quilt which I designed to fit onto a square greeting card. The technique I have used I call layered squares - the square are 1 inch.

Harvest Time - I needed a small wall quilt for Thanksgiving in my dining room. This pattern was just perfect.

Mothers Prider - Horse Panels cut to fit into design with western theme borders.

Pride & Joy - Not wanting just a small wall hanging I made the surrounding part of the horses to look like they were behind wood stall door with a plaquard of the name Pride and Joy

Puppies, puppies, puppies - I downloaded pictures of old english sheepdog puppies and through the computer was able to change them into embroidery designs, and then used the Flying colors method by Gail Garber to make the swirling flying geese to surround the puppies.

Bear - Bear is mounted on cow hide Leather, embellished with bear teeth and beads. The outer part of the leather is cross stitched with sinue and feathers found from birds around my home (already sheaded from the birds on the ground)

Jewel Box

No name

Crop Circles - This quilt was inspired by an ASTER satellite photo of pivot irrigation on crops in Kansas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crops_Kansas_AST_20010624.jpg

Every Barn tells A Story

The Doppler Effect - I had a limited amount of fabrics that I loved and wanted to maximize the visual effect. I worked out a pattern that mimics the Doppler Effect of sound. I love the way the colors work together.

Life Flip-flops at 40! - Our friend from England was here in Florida to celebrate her 40th birthday. The flip-flops were to celebrate her life here, and the big changes that come at 40.

Moving target - Batik squares and rectangles randomly pieced so as to give the illusion of moving.
