  • Framed Square
    Framed Square

    I know some people call this a square in a square...I just always called it a framed square. I made this back in 2006, and even quilted it on my Pfaff. It is a about 50 x 60 inches. I made it for a baby...I tend to make baby quilts more for floor quilts. Big enough to lay the baby on on the floor with enough room to roll around a bit. Not sure whether to call this traditional or modern. Also, I included a photo of the back. I tend to always do something a bit different with the back. Sometimes I just add a line of squares across. Other times I go a little bit wild.

  • Fuzzy Duckling quilt
    Fuzzy Duckling quilt

    I got the idea from a children's book that my pregnant daughter had loved. I drew the duckling from the book, and did the barn, hills and butterfly myself. It is the first quilt I made for our granddaughter

  • Hex Table Topper
    Hex Table Topper

    This little table topper was one of four I donated to a fund raising event for the local VFW. They are raising funds for a new veteran memorial for out county courthouse lawn. Trying to cover seasons and some holidays the pieces were all reversible and each one brought $50 at auction. This little hex table topper is 1930's print for spring and patriotic on the reverse.

  • My Flag
    My Flag

    I saw a kit for a similar flag in a magazine. I designed the blue field with Friendship Stars. The challenge in this quilt was keeping the sizing correct for a flag, which meant that the blue field would span 7 stripes, 4 red and 3 white. The stripes are very scrappy triangles. It is ditch quilted.

  • Dana's Asian Wall Hanging
    Dana's Asian Wall Hanging

    I forgot all about the fact that my sister-in-law asked me to make her a quilt for her living room, until she reminded me last March. So I looked for something simple and pleasing - she though Asian style would look good. Found this kit at Holly's Quilt Cabin. I messed up the center panel by washing it - the black ran into the while areas. Then I tried a color-remover, and it bleached the whole panel. So I went on the internet to see if somebody, somewhere had this panel for sale, else I was going to be out of luck. And I found it, yea! Quilted by Connie Nelson at Top Quilters. A poppy flower design. 12-2012
