Patches and Pinwheels - Made from my scraps, except the final border. This is a Bonnie Hunter pattern.

Seans Wall Quilt - Sean did this awesome drawing in maybe 7th grade and I put it into quilt form.

Hummingbird Dreams - This was made for my mother who loves hummingbirds as much as I do. I took some artistic license with the flower colors because I like the background fabric so much.

Family Tree - This wall hanging was made as a challenge with my co-workers. Requirements were a Christmas theme and use of the color green. I used tracings of my family member's hands and also a foot of my grandson for the tree trunk. The hands were placed on a pieced background and then machine free hand quilted down. I want a little fraying of the edges to look like pine needles.

twirling the scraps - These two small quilts I made from the fabric scraps leftover from a sampler quilt I pieced for a double bed. These two quilts hang up to cover the bookshelves in that room. I reversed the pattern when making one of them so that they are spinning in opposite directions.

Lots of Love - This is my first bed-sized quilt. I made it for my mother-in-law.

Summer skies table runner - This table runner is a quilt as you go pattern, easy to make, and fun design! Cannot remember the name of the pattern designer, but it sure was easy and fun to make!

Fairy Splendor - These fairies are a fabric panel I found, and just had to make into a quilt for my "Great Niece" for Christmas. The backing is a flannel alphabet fabric in peach fabric. I did free motion quilting on my domestic machine and embellished it with some crystals on the wings, as an earing, and as dew drops on the flower petals. The batting is a cotton ~ after reading on TQS about the fire danger of the poly batts!

A little boys construction dream quilt - I made this quilt for my "Great Nephew" for Christmas! He loves construction vehicles, and when I found this piece of fabric I had to make it into this little boys quilt. One image of each vehicle make up the blocks on the front. I quilted this free motion, upside down, on my domestic machine using the shapes of the vehicles as the pattern for the quilting. I also used dark blue thread in the bobbin so that the quilting would show up on the front!

Nebula - Using some of Ricky Tim's hand dyed bits and pieces, this emerged.

The Librarian in L-space - Sir Terry Pratchett's series of Discworld books have the orangutan librarian. I made the quilt for a charity auction and ended up buying it myself as it didn't get close to enough for a donation IMO.

Memories of Japan - Our niece spent some of her college time in Japan and loves Japanese designs. I used mostly Kona Bay fabrics to make a quilt for her when she got married in April 2011.

"Spruce it up" - I Loved the design when I saw it in a magazine(Swirling Branches by RaNaeMerrill) and I love spruce trees so this is a combination of both!!

"Give Peas A Chance" - Now that we are trying to stick to a vegan diet, we look at Thanksgiving dinner differently. I struggled with the title. The working title was "It's All About The Sides." That then changed into "Tom's Thanksgiving Tip: Try The Turnips." Finally, my 10 year old grandson (who wouldn't eat peas if you bribed him) came up with the best one of all!

Leap Frog - This is a pattern that I designed. It can be purchased at patternspot.com

Reindeer leaping - Over 50% hand dyed and painted fabrics. Reindeer is flannel with faux chenille mane and fetlocks, and trapunto padding. Holly border is commercial print, overdyed to match color scheme.
