Flit A Way - I made this lap blanket for a dear friend who is now deceased. The quilt is again in my possession. I sewed, machine embroidered and quilted this on my Bernina 730.

Terry Murphy - Made this baby quilt for my Grand Niece Jena. The embrodery and quilting work was done on my Bernina 830.

Conversation - As an artist, I have often painted faces and masks. This Quilt is fabric on canvas.

Heavenly Brightness - I made this quilt for my daughter (in picture with me). A lot of blood and sweat went into this quilt and I loved every second of it. Boy did I learn a lot. Ignorance is bliss because I started this project without any concept of how challenging it would be. I sewed and quilted this quilt on my Bernina 830.

Crazy Quilt - This quilt, like so many crazy quilts, contains many family memories, including a Valentine that belonged to my grandmother, bits of embroidery done by my mother, and designs by all three of my children.

The Geisha - This was started in a class by Faye Anderson at Houston Festival one year, and completed in 2011. It is mostly thread painted and freemotion outlined. The background is actually placed on top of, and around, the outline. It is heavily trapuntoed, for a more realistic effect.

I Give You My Heart - I tried my own twist of the old technique known as "fracturing" or "shattering" and used staggered strips, instead of squares. As I was pulling strips up and down, thinking Bargello, I began to see a heart forming, and just went from there. The finished quilt needed something more, so I ripped off the binding and added a corded binding. Then I decidied to add a second corded binding. I think I am finally done with the quilt!

Easter Eggs and Martians - A four color two-patch quilt set on point. This was an easy quilt to make! It flew together. Go to my website (www.hexilady.com) for more photos.

Leftovers - After making Prarie Star, I had lots of fabric left over. I decided to play around and make test blocks of patterns I liked and try new techniques. In the end I put them all together with just a few mistakes!

Prairie Star - I completed this quilt after attending a 3 day seminar taught by Judy Neimeyer.

Rocky Mountain Thorn Bush - I took the class from Judy Niemeyer June 2005. I didn't have it quilted until Feb. 2011. I have learned a lot since I made the top of this quilt.

Wedding Stars - I added the border and corner stars to make it a tad bit bigger. This is a wedding quilt for my niece- don't tell her. She doesn't get it till March! It was my first attempt at paper piecing. About 85 hours to piece. It is 91x102 inches. And yes, she asked for purple.

Mystery Quilt of 2003? - I completed the top before 2003 when I lived in a completely different town and state. I truly do not know where this pattern came from or whether I completed it at my old shop (which is no longer in business) or from a site on the internet.

Winter Surprise - This was a kit purchased by my mother. She was to complete this with my sister-in-law who also purchased the kit, but they were wanting to do it together. Since my mother passed away in October, my sister-in-law elected me to sew the kit my mother had purchased. I enjoyed learning how to use the ombre type of fabric to make this quilt, but I especially enjoyed working with my sister-in-law.
