This is one of my first quilts, and I'm very proud of it. It got a first-place
ribbon at the Del Mar Fair in 1999. The Del Mar Fair, now called the San Diego
County Fair, is the third largest in the country. The pattern is from Cheri
Saffiote and Indygo Junction is called Posie Patch. It's VERY different from the
way it looks here, but all I did was change the borders.

This is a pattern I'm working on called Sister's Star. I'll have the option of
embroider in the corners or not, as well as some other size variations.
Hopefully coming in 2005.... |

This is one of the first quilts I quilted when I got a Gammill long arm quilting
machine. It was inspired by a magazine picture, but I'm ashamed to say I don't
remember what magazine or who the author was. |
 |
| This is a quilt inspired by the book Cutting Curves from
Straight Pieces by Debbie Bowles. I LOVE that book!! The flag in the
lower right corner is a pin. |
 |
| This quilt was made from the leftovers from the flag quilt
above, so I call if "Leftovers." I had a really good time with both of these
quilts. |
 |
| This is a free pattern I gave out at the Utah Quilt Guild
annual meeting in September of 2002. The words are fabric pen. I hope to get
the pattern up on the free page in the next while. |
 |
| This is one of my early quilts, adapted from a tablecloth
pattern in More Quick Rotary Cutter Quilts (For the Love of Quilting)
by Pam Bono Designs. The ribbons are from the Clark County Fair (Las
Vegas).
|
 |
| This is my Blue Tiles quilt, a stack-n-whack technique. I
got a little overenthusiastic with my cutting, and the is the second wall
hanging I got from the blocks I cut. |
 |
| I decided to learn another hobby (which everyone agrees I
need like a hole in the head), Brazilian embroidery. I finished the beginner
sampler but I knew I'd never use a pillow, which is what it was designed to
be. And silly me, instead of choosing a design that used nine blocks, I
decided to go ahead and make four more so that I could set it this way. It's pieced,
but not quilted. Hopefully before my daughter starts high school (she's
three now).... |
 |
| This is one HEAVY quilt. In fact, it's so heavy my husband
can't sleep under it. It's my Millennium of Stars, since it started as a Y2K
swap. It's a large queen, almost a king size. I actually finished it in
2002, not too bad for me.
You can just see my little girl (being wild, and wearing just a diaper)
in the top right corner. I have lots of pictures of her rolling around on my
quilts as I try to take pictures of them. She thinks SHE should be in
every picture. ;-) |
 |
| This is a design I've been working on I'm calling King's
Crown. Must come up with a better title. The border color placements are not
what I'm going to end up with, but this was an early test. Another one I
hope to get out in 2005. |
 |
| I taught a "flip and sew posies" class at a quilt shop, and
this is the finished quilt. I started it in early 2002 and managed to finish
it in 2004. It sat around unquilted for about a year and a half, and it's
nice to finally have it done! |
 |
| I'm quite proud of this one. I made this for my Dad, who is
almost impossible to buy gifts for.
The technique and inspiration are from Robbi Joy Eklow, who has an
incredibly inspiring gallery here:
http://www.robbieklow.com/quilts/quiltgallery.html but the pattern
itself is my original design. |
 |
| And here's my Dad, hanging the quilt on Christmas morning.
He's a semi-professional trombone player, and he hung this so that not only
could they enjoy it in the music room (he has a grand player piano!!) but it
can also been seen from the street. |
 |
| This is a quilt I managed to finish fairly quickly.. I started this in August and finished it in
November of 2004. It's a variation on quilts from the book Winding
Ways Quilts, A Practically Pinless Approach by Nancy Elliot MacDonald.
It's a great book!!
