Lilias del Dia - I fell in love with Nancy J. Steidle's quilt featured in the AQS magazine. It took quite awhile to complete and presented a few new challenges, but I love my version just as much as I did Nancy's. I found the beadwork on the stamens to be quite therapeutic. I bought way too many beads though. May have to take up jewelry making, or really get into embellishing quilts.

Fish Nets - I made this little wall-hanging at Road to California 2011 during a class with Mickey Depre.

Bella's Star - I adapted the pattern by Mary Hickey to work with what I had on hand. It is flannel and all hand quilted.

Stash Quilt 1--Unstashing My Reds - I dived into my stash of reds to make this quilt. The only fabric purchased specifically for this quilt was the black and white stripe, even the back is scrappy. Of course, it only put a small dent in my stash.

Spring Garden - Machine pieced, machine appliqued and machine quilted. A set of two made for twin daughters born Feb.2011.
