The Marriage of Purple and Blue - I wedding gift for a friend of my mother-in-law. Bride liked purple, groom liked blue.

Quick Trip - Made for a baby gift for a friend of my husband at his place of work.

Delectable Mountains - I made this quilt for my husband, who loves to hunt.

Which way? - Made for a co-worker for Christmas. She has a vacation home in Florida so I chose the teals.

Road to Tahoe

Scrappy Stars - A UFO, finally finished (I think it was a top for at least a decade!) Donated to the Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center, to comfort someone fighting breast cancer. In memory of Jennie.

Tesselating Leaves - Top completed in a class with Jackie Robinson a few years ago and FINALLY finished in March 2009, in time to donate to my online quilt guild's challenge to make quilts for women battling breast cancer, in honor of our late friend, Jennie Sherlock who lived in Australia. We finished 33 quilts for this! They went to the Seattle Cancer and Wellness Treatment Center in Renton, Washington.

my trip to paris - This was done in a machine applique quilt class, 1st effort at machine applique and quilting. I really enjoyed the class.

Deck The Hall - I created this original-design for the TQS Challenge. I plan to hang in my entry hall during the Holidays. It measures 52"x52" and is machine pieced, with the exception of the little circles (ornaments on the tree). They were hand appliqued.

Snowmen Warm Your Heart & Feet - I made this quilt for my daughter for her birthday. She saw the sample quilt in a Coos Bay, OR quilt shop, Connecting Threads, but it was not for sale.

Frogs and Stars - This was a class I took many years ago. I only finished quilting it recently.

Ribbon of Light - This quilt is felted using recycled wool clothing, wool roving and angelina fiber. This was made as a guild "landsape" challenge.

Time in a Bottle - The bottle is reverse appliqued and is made up of fabric depicting elements of time. This was a guild challenge to create a "song" quilt.

Flowers for Jasmine - This was originally planned to be a queen sized quilt for me. I saw the Snow Ball block demonstrated on Simply Quilts. I got bored with the colors, but still had lots of finished blocks, so I added the appliqued flowers and finished the quilt for my 5 y/o niece.

Let's Play Ball - My friend wanted twin quilts for her boys. They had just moved into a new house. Her husband is a Chicago Cubs fan and they wanted the theme to depict that team. I found the baseball material here in Tucson, AZ, Could not find Chicago Cub specific materials, so I adapted the solid blocks-made of Moda Marbles- and embroidered Chicago Cub memorbilia on them (such as: Bleacher Bums, Northsiders, the world series wins of more than a century ago, and more). The little guys love their new quilts and aren't jumping on the bed when they are on, so Erika is very happy about that.

Under the Full Moon Light - This small quilt was inspired by the dancing women that "appeared" in the hand dyed-hand painted fabric. It sold at my churches member art show. My favorite part is the moon which was made with several layers of fancy polyester fabrics.

Dad's Birthday Quilt - This quilt tells the story of a day when my Dad took me to an orchard when I was quite young. He shared the story with me, so I expressed it in fabric and gifted it to him.

Spring Time - I made this quilt for our guild's Quilting Challenge.
