Zane's Baby Quilt - Front- Teddy Bear print, yellow gingam, blue & green 5"sq. Back- made from husband's shirts, baby blue sq. & white 10" square's. Made for grandson. My first completed quilt.

My Dream Quilt - Got instructions for this quilt from a friend who had taken a class at a quilt shop. She was told the pattern hadn't been published and I've never seen it anywhere. The technique is similar to mirror image bargello, only in individual blocks. Each set of 8 coordinated fabrics makes two blocks, a light center and a dark center. It takes lots of shopping to find 8 coordinated fabrics ranging from very light to very dark in 12 different colors. But who's complaining about fabric shopping? I designed the hand appliqued border using three simple flower shapes and lots of colors, just like in the quilt center.

Godly Woman - I took verses from Proverbs 31 which describe what God wants us to be. I found the project very enlightening and that most women ARE what they are here to do! Anyone who feels that she is not living the life she should be must take some time to ready this short partial chapter. With these snippits, I combined them with small embroideries to liven the blocks and then used a spirograph type purchased embroidery set to make the setting squares. The embroidery threads were selected to coordinate with the border fabrics.

Will's Rocket Quilt - I made this for my son. We live in Mars, PA, and he loved rockets, so this quilt seemed appropriate. I bought some artwork by Kris Banks, and adapted the quilt from that picture.

Will's Baby Quilt - I made this quilt for my son when he was born in 2001. Hand pieced and hand quilted.

Converged Gecko - Sarah was teaching in Seoul South Korea. I wanted to send her something lightweight and she LOVES geckos!

Chenille Hot Pad - This is a hot pad made out of homespun material. I took a class at the Creative Cloth Closet taught by owner, Denise Hovey. I gave this hot pad to my daughter-in-law, Victoria Lautaret as a Christmas gift.

MY Happy Quilt - Made with scrps and fat quarters, this lap quilt used some 40 yr.old fabric from my stash and just to look at it makes me happy, hense the name "Happy Quilt".

Spring - This quilt was made for a school fundraiser . The blocks are made by second graders, then I put it together adding the sashing & borders. It was alot of fun just looking at the art work while I quilted. The auction is not for another week I hope it does well.

Curvy Cabin - I designed the traditional Log Cabin block to gently curve, giving it a contemporary look, for my entry into the Valley Quilters Guild's Challenge "Something Old is New Again". The free-motion quilting uses my interpretation of McTavishing designs.

Connectivity - The secondary patterns that emerged as blocks were turned, reminded me of how we are all connected. I believe it is important to focus on our similarities and connectivity, rather than on our differences in order to have a more peaceful journey through life. Embellishments inspired by Libby Lehman.

The Birth of Logic - I LOVE labyrinths! It was quite a challenge to make this highly structured form from the coiled wrapped closeline technique. After it was formed: how to get it under the needle to sew it!! It evolved into this organic form that needed it's own showcase. The tail reminded me of an umbilical cord...hence the name.

Fire Flower - Multi colored and Paper pieced
