K's Quilt - This quilt is made of sample hand quilted blocks at a beginning class taught by Shirley Heim at Marti's Patchwork Cottage in Black Mountain, NC. The Tuesday night gang helped make the quilt squares turn into a finished quilt top. As the quilt came together, the colors shouted "Give the quilt to Klenna!" Roma Wimberly long arm quilted it for me.

Baby Shower - Family and friends were given a square to decorate. Immediate family chose the batiks. Immediate family and GmaLou came up with design elements. The individual quilts are sewn to the background quilt so that each one is in fact a pocket for holding small items. Each component has sentimental value. The quilt was a surprise at the shower for the McKay first child. What fun. How special.

Glue Anyone? - This was a challenge for a local show that required using the pastel batik fabric and a star. The deadline came a little faster than I had planned so I cut strips the finished size I wanted and arranged them on a quilt sandwich of backing and batting. Then I decoupaged the pieces to the batting by painting Elmer's Fabric glue over the top of the entire piece. When it dried, I quilted it on my longarm. It win a ribbon, but I like it. :D

Fabric Treasures - This piece was a blast to make. I started by pinning my backing onto my longarm leaders. My batting was shredded paper and credit cards. Then I placed netting over it all to finish my quilt sandwich. I McTavished to hold everything in place, finished it with a rough edge and embellished. The large focal point piece was a pin weaving project that didn't go quite as planned. I think it looks great on this piece. It's certainly a conversation starter!

Falling Leaves - This was a collaborative effort between myself and my friend Anne, a felter. I used my hand stamped leaf prints for the center and then added Terry Atkinson borders to finish the pieced top. Anne then felted a beautiful tree onto the piece. I added blowing wind quilting with variegated thread to finish. Very fun!
