From Another Era - I made this quilt using hsts from the SoTTT - I added the bubblegum pink and yellow hsts for a vintrage look

Tessellating Tabbies and Friends - Loved the Tabbies pattern but took the easy option of using just black and white for the tessellations.I added the cartoon characters (a panel of 18 frames) and the Timeless treasures cats in the cinema to add humour. I have embroidered the names of all 12 family cats to add personal interest for Leanne, who had known most of them! The outer border and binding is a Jinny beyer border print.

Blended Harmony - Made for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Triangles Exchange. Long arm quilted by Shelley Nealon.

Square Dance - This is my HST exchange quilt. I used Edyta's Mosaic Quilt pattern. I quilted it with an all-over large scale stippling to keep it soft and cuddly.

Golden Triangles - Okay, so this isn't exactly a quilt - it's a quilt block. I received "Golden Tickets" in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Triangles exchange. These half square triangles were from Debbie, Edyta, Barb, Margo, Alex and Ricky. I couldn't bear the thought of any of these treasures being damaged if put in a quilt - so I made a square and had it framed. I see it many times each day. I am so honored to have some of my HSTs in this block with those of such very talented quilters. I will treasure it always as a reminder of the most wonderful quilting experience I have ever had.

My Sisters are Stars - This is the second quilt I made from the Sisterhood of the Traveling Triangles - the batik exchange. The four HSTs that comprise the pinwheel in the center of each block were from the exchange - the HSTs that build the star are mine. The Sisterhood was the best quilting experience I've ever had.

Sisterhood - This quilt contains the half square triangles I received from the HST exchange - Sisterhood of the Traveling Triangles. This exchange was one of the best quilting experiences I have ever had. I now have sisters all over the world.

Scrappy Days - It took me 4 months to make this quilt. One thing about it, is never got boring. I made this as for a Christmas Gift for my son and daughter in law. I loved doing the borders.

Tequilla Sunrise - I ad to do another Bargello and bead it. This one I did in brights.

Sweet Dreams of Roses - This quilt was made for my granddaughter Brianna's 12th birthday. The inspiration fabric came from my Aunt Maryann's stash that I inherited. I picked the large rose pattern for the border and the peach background because peach is my granddaugher's favorite color.

Thinking of Nick - This is a 5-inch paper-pieced lob cabin block, a scrappy quilt. It is called "Thinking of Nick" because I used the Autism fund-raising fabric (the one that is jig saw puzzle pieces) in the first inside border. It is also on the back of the quilt. I quilted it using stippling in various sizes, as it resembles puzzle pieces. My grandson Nick is a victim of Autism. I continued the scrappy theme in the piano key border.

Texas Bluebonnets - While undergoing chemotherapy, I still managed to get to Quilt Festival in Houston and take a class with Melinda Bula. I got started in class, then when I felt better after treatment, I completed this quilt in January 2012. I did something a little different - I pieced the background. It really gave it light and movement. I quilted it heavily on my Bernina.

Bird About Town: A Pelican Odyessy - Photos of Petros, town mascot of Mykonos, Greece were captured in my photo. I played with the original photo in Photoshop Elements to create the bird in various venues around town. I also colorized the photos and printed them to fabric. I used batiks to set each one in a "twist 'n turn" setting. The border fabric is also a striped batik.

Pushing Up Daisies - This is a quiltedkathy design from a pattern called Links. I used an embroidered applique from Embroidery Library for the blocks

Lemmon Zest - After I made this quilt I decided to bead it.

Lemmon Zest - After I made this Bargello a decided to bead it. I love how it came out.

Oh, The Places They've Been! - One of three medallion blocks that were machine appliqued for my SoTTTs quilt.

Oh, The Places They've Been! - Made with HSTs received in the 2011 Sisterhood of the Traveling Triangles Exchange. Combination of two of Edyta Sitar's patterns. This quilt recently won a Second Place Ribbon at the 2013 quilt Guild of Greater Houston Quilt Show!
