Posie Fiesta - I altered a pattern from a book to make it really bright, because my friend loves black and bright.

Etude du chat - This is an applique portrait of a cat looking down at his paw, based on an intriguing closeup photo done by his owner, who gave me permission to make this quilt. Strider is long-haired and had a fuzzy face with a cowlick along his nose. I found this project quite challenging to design and complete. I called it study of the cat (in French) in honor of my friend who loves cats and all things French.

In memory of Hobo - This is a memorial quilt for Hobo a stray kitten who decided my house was where he belonged.

Bamboo Bazaar - I was so inspired by Alex Andersons' neutral quilts, I had to make one. The log cabin blocks are 7" square. It amazes me each time I look at it, I see a different pattern emerge. These blocks were sewn using the paper piecing method, stitch in the ditch around the blocks. The quilt has side panels which are hand quilted. Absolutely delighted with the end result.

The Squares Have It! - I bought a pack of Moda Fabric at a local quilt store. With the fabric packet they included a free pattern for this quilt. The fabric line is called Panache by Sanae.

Button Garden - A fun project, used vintage buttons and colors that were a departure for me. A practice to learn free motion quilting as well.
