Love-Me-Knot - This was my submission to the Hoffman Challenge 2010. It made it to the taveling show and is in trunk C. The next stop for this quilt is the Houston Quilt Market and Show. I fussy cut the challenge fabric so that it would recreate the designs after piecing.

Super Nova - This quilt was made from one fabric that was dyed from yellow to navy blue. This quilt was a semi-finalist at the AQS show in Knoxville 2010

Triptych - I made the three pieces to be used together, thus the name Triptych for my quilt group challenge project. We were given a Michael Miller black and white fabric for the challenge in the fall of 2009 and it was finished for our February 2010 meeting. I tied for votes as viewers choice.

Whirlin' Dervish - This pattern was found online at MillerQuilts and I loved making it in my favorite colors. The machine quilter did an excellent job with the quilting.

My Challenge Quilt - This is a quilt made as a challenge with my quilt group. We chose our own centre block, which I did following a Valori Wells pattern, and then each month were given a new instruction as to how to complete the next border. I prefer piecing so when the theme was 'flowers' I did foundation-pieced flowers, and for a nine-patch I did wonky little nine-patches on the corners of the previous border, and so on. The last border had to be 3-dimensional, so the triangles are made of large pieces of fabric scrunched to fir a smaller shape and beads have been sewn on. It was great fun and I learnt a lot from it, especially things like working out measurements and planning the colours.

Silly Jungle Snakes - Made using Silly Safari fabric from ModaI pieced all the background and then appliqued the celtic design on top. Since some of the blocks had a snake print, Rebecca quilted snakes all over the quilt. The 6 year old boy who received the quilt was very happy with the snakes.

Joy-A Pieceful Celebration of Life - Fabric motifs of African women and their children are centered in crazy piecework of colorful patterns including animals that peep out among the many layers surrounding each motif

Christmas Bell Are Ringing Door Banner - This is my latest pattern which is now available from Larkspur Lane Designs. It is paper pieced and the pattern includes 2 other projects--a Table Topper or Tree Skirt.

nine lives - Designed on paper back in the early 90s and finally produced as a Mari'Annie pattern. Constructed quilt as you sew technique with very basic random machine quilting.

caroline's poppies - Made at a Caroline Sharkey workshop in 2010. Carolines's design with some colour changes. I mixed orange & yellow with the red poppies. Snippets of fabrics cut up & randomly machined onto a background with a water soluble washaway fabric, making a new fabric to cut into poppies & appliqued onto a similarly pieced background. Embellished with Ricky Tims' Razzle Dazzle thread in flower centres. Stems & leaf shapes appliqued & quilted.
