Kelsey's Quilt - This quilt is based on a class given by Mary Lou Weidman. It tells the story of my niece who lives in Alaska.

Josie Marie's quilt - This is the second quilt that I made using the La Belle Rose fabrics in a star pattern. As I mentioned before, I had seen these fabrics in a magazine in which a star was in the center of the quilt, but could never find the magazine to use the pattern, so I made up one.

Annabelle's quilt - I saw the Lakehouse Dry Goods fabrics (La Belle Rose) in a magazine a while ago in which a star was in the middle with stars all around it and border fabrics. I fell in love with the quilt, but when I found the fabric months later, could not find the pattern so I decided to make several of my own design. I also loved the green fabric (purchased from Connecting Threads) and wanted to make it a feature of the quilt. Since Annabelle's room was going to be pink and green, it was the perfect combination of fabrics.

Eli's Cowboy Quilt - I wanted to use cowboy fabrics that I had been collecting to make a quilt for my cousin's daughter who was having a baby boy. I really enjoyed playing with the fabrics and fussy cutting the images to make different blocks.

Mary English's quilt - This pattern that comes together quite quickly develops a trellis-like pattern which I loved. The floral fabrics came together so well, and I plan to make a larger version for another family member soon!

Grandma's Flowers - This is my first quilt. I did every bit of it from piecing it to quilting it. I hope to improve over time. The orginal name for the quilt was going to be "Don't Laugh or I'll Cry", but later decided on "Grandma's Flowers."

Storm at Sea with fishes - I was playing with a Storm at Sea block, added some Laurel Birch fishes and got an fun piece.

Crayons - One of "Quiltmaker's Magazine" favorites pub. originally 2001. Perfect gift for first child of a young teacher who decorated in primary colors. Reversible Quilt.

All Are Welcome - Used different intensities of floral fabrics to create light effect throughout banner. Expressed All ARE WELCOME for the church. First banner for this small start-up church.

Your USA Family - Got hand prints from all immediate cousins, aunts,uncles and grandparents from USA and appliqued them to quilt blocks with hand written names to show her American side of the family.

THE BOSS - Downloaded and printed 30 record album covers, used Tonga Batiks, used scrappy block technique, showed only part of album cover in blocks. Appliqued The Boss on border. My transplant Doctor.

Christian - This quilt is dedicated to 5 year Christian who gave me the Gift of Life, his liver. Each block has significant meaning to me and his family. They have the perfect copy of this quilt.

Fractured Hearts Front - Sale Bin Fabric used for first Scrappy quilt. All said and done, the freezer paper pattern, stacked and cut. no measuring and no templates. I liked it.

Fractured Heart Star (back of quilt) - I had all this fabric left after completing Fractured Hearts on the front side. Make what I could with what was left. Wanted 2 sided quilt.

Supreme Stacked Posie - I started with the Supreme pattern for the secondary kaleidoscope effect in the blocks but changed up the design, used striped border around blocks and scalloped edges.

Dawn's Starry Night - Many shades of blue for background and white stars, four blocks come together to create a star.

BLACK, WHITE, COLOR - I wanted to combine Black and white but add a punch of color. I wanted to make a quilt with the variegated fabrics and in a manner that could easily be duplicated. I was trying a new border technique.

GAYLE'S QUILT - I had the center fabric and did not want to cut it up. I used the colors from the focus fabric and used variations of shades to create side blocks. I wanted it colorful.
