Bed of Roses

This is a crib quilt made and sold as a shop model when I had my quilt shop. It has layers of fabrisc cut in uneven circular shapes and then left "raw" to fuzz, curl and generally add texture to the romantic little quilt. Posted by Picasa

English Garden Quilt

This quilt has a large border of a gazebos and garden gates.The string-pieced blocks feature flower prints as well as windows and roofs of gray stone houses or churches. The lattice between the blocks is a gray stone print representing a path or more stone walls.
I gave this to some dear friends Sally and Gary who are wonderful gardeners....both of souls and of the earth!

ZEN quilt

This is my Japanese indigo quilt which I gave to my future daughter-in-law, the lovely Mary.
She treasures it as a work of art and it hangs above the futon bed.

Shane's Quilt

This is a quilt which my sister helped me to make. It was for a cousin whose home had burned.....we used a random piecing method and incorporated as many western and masculine fabrics as we could find in my scrappy stash! We bought a black background boot print for the border.
It grew and grew and is at least a large queen-size quilt!

Quilt For Eva Gabrielle


This is a quilt for a baby girl in New Zealand.
Eva Gabrielle was born in December and I was able to get her quilt off to her just before Christmas!
Machine pieced and machine quilted. Crib-size.

Chains of fun for Lilia!


This is a twin-sized quilt for my grandaughter,
Lilia.
It is a double 4-patch for the most part...

As well as new fabrics in pinks, lavenders, blues, and purple, I used scraps from her dresses, nightgowns and pajamas. It went home with her this Christmas and I hope she is loving it!

JUST BREATHE


This is the "Just Breathe" when it was a quilt top....it is twin size and will be for my son.

The blocks are purposely "whacky" and uneven, then squared up to fit together.

It is scrappy and freeing....sometimes in life, we need to remember to just "breathe"!

French hens log cabin



This is a machine pieced, hand quilted quilt made for my Sister-in-law and brother-in-law!
It has a theme of french hens, roses, and fabric with a map of Paris is used in the lighter blocks.
