AVA'S OLIVIA - just a simple whole cloth panel quilt made with love for my granddaughter Ava who loves loves loves Olivia! Added a couple little appliques and some nice stippling.
Rose of Many Colors - Thank you to Margo and others for help with this one. When I was ready to sandwich it would not lay straight for anything. I even took it partly apart and resewed it. I was suggested that quilting the blank areas might help stabilize it. It did to a degree, now the applique blocks dent to bulge a little but it looks ok on a mattress - not as a wall quilt.
Twelfth Frame - Designed to be a beginning machine applique sample quilt, it turned out to be a little too complicated. It did hang in the store for a few years, now it lives at home as a table runner.
The Village - Won the center blocks in a guild BOM. Started the center design in a Sharyn Craig workshop. Read "Baking Cakes in Kigali" for our quilting book club. Then the quilt kept speaking to me. My favorite part of the quilt is the house border.
Bargello with a Chinese Twist - Made for a friend of my mine who adopted two Chinese girls. This is for her youngest daughter. I used fabric with Chinese characters.
Woodland Flower - Began in Jan. 2010 in a Nancy Chong applique class. Quilted with sulkey and silk threads. Wool batting, flower pot trapunto with 2 layers of 80/20 Hobbs batting. Finished 9-2010.
Bridge Over Troubled Waddles - I love McKenna Ryan's patterns and have several of them. This one jumped out at me because of the cute name. I couldn't resist making this as a wallhanging.
Jenna - The quilt is named for it's owner, Jenna, and was her high school graduation gift. I used Moda jelly rolls to make this simple strippy block. It was free motion quilted using a domestic machine.
Flower Wall Quilt - This wall hanging was done for my local quilt shop Rumpled Quilt Skins for a sample of the new fabrics to be promoted in the fall along with Karens pattern I was able to freehand the feathers and stipple around the applique on my domestic machine I really enjoyed the process
Space Guys - This Quilt was pieced and machine appliqued by my good friend Doreen she gifted it to my 4 year old son and I used a nice flannel back and Long Arm Quilted it on my New Gammill Lime Green Machine it was my fist try at a full size quilt on the long arm and I used a different stipple /designs for each block ! it turned out great!
Starlit Paths - Gift for my Aunt Nada. This queen size quilt was from a Hancock Retreat in Ashland NE. Main Star Green and secondary Burgandy. Piano Key border. Connie is in White and Pink on right, I'm left.
Attic Window Horses - Made for my Great Niece Shaylin's tenth birthday. I stippled horses, lined window frames, quilted carrots, horseshoes, fencing, her full name, quilt name in the sashing and borders.
