Horse of a Different Color - This is an art quilt that I designed. The background is woven using a technique I learned from the book "Simply Stunning Woven Quilts" The Horse was inspired by a stencil that I saw online. I immediately thought -great quilt idea! I drew my version of the horse and transferred the pattern onto the fusible I had ironed on the back of the fabric. This is a method I learned from Laura Wasilowski.

Beach Play - My granddaughter playing on the beach on Hilton Head Island, SC. Background uses Karen Eckmeier's "Layered waves" technique and the figure of my granddaughter uses Cathy Wiggin's "Fabric Paint by Number" technique.

Always Kiss Me Goodnight Bedrunner - Unique and Romantic showpiece to add to your bedroom. Add a little romance and set the mood. There is a pattern available for this at http://www.craftsy.com/user/982803/pattern-store

Wildflowers - Loved Judy Mathieson's quilt French Starflowers published in her book Mariner's Compass Quilts. This quilt was so much fun to make - LOVE paperpiecing!!

Did you see my new red shoes? - this is the backside of the quilt, with my son and family in owl form, the wacky birds that live upstairs, and a hopscotch so the girls might enjoy the game together.

Did you see my new red shoes? - Added some ribbon tags, and gave each owl a different expression, and changed to a simpler block for the quarter square triangles. The back is my son's family in owl form along with the wacky birds that live upstairs. Hopscotch added so that later on the girls can play hopscotch with each other.

apple blossom double wedding ring - Made this for a wedding shower gift for great niece an future husband

Pieceful Easy Feeling - The quilt is made entirely of hexagons. I decided to finish it envelope style, feeling that a border would detract from the overall design.

Sun Bonnet Sue Album Quilt - I inherited some raw edge applique Sun Bonnet sue blocks from my aunt. I had some eleanore burns sun bonnet sue fusible and a lady at our church asked me if I could make a quilt for her adopted daughter with the signed blocks she gave me. That is how it came about.

Together in a Friendship World - This is a quilt made by a group of Romanian quilting friends; even non-quilters stitched on it: all my 3 sisters and even my hubby helped us a lot. It was hand pieced and it is machine quilted. It's a large quilt. about 90" square. We hand pieced the top in about 3 months. The quilting was easier than I anticipated! It was accepted into the Houston judged show Fall 2013. More pictures here: http://cadouri-din-inima.blogspot.ro/2013/04/together-in-friendship-world.html

Aurora - Copied from the magazine, great fun to do - only added large quilting stitches to some blocks.

Baby Zoo - This was based on a picture in a German friend's book, 3 of us made the same quilt and Anne has since left Caracas so I don't even know which book.

Safari Stars - This was my first animal print quilt. I have made a second one, with more still in my mind.

Yellowstone Revisited - Log cabins around fabric panels purchased during our recent trip to Yellowstone. Because the panels were both horizontal and vertical photos, the quilt had to be designed with that in mind. After putting it on the design wall, I quickly realized that it needed something for accent and to break up the tedium of the log cabin strips. I decided to add an appliqué border from the Backwoods Design Appliqué Book. I was so happy to have finally figured out a design to highlight the fabric panels and finish the quilt. The quilting was done by my friend and fellow TQS member on her new long arm. She incorporated feathers and a beautiful leaf design in the log cabin blocks. She also did a soft wave design over each of the fabric panels which was the perfect quilting accent for them.
