I was looking for a print to incorporate my niece's chosen colors - navy and green - for her second baby. When I spotted this Brown Bear fabric by Eric Carle, I knew this was it! I am still learning how to quilt, but braved some free motion echo quilting around each animal and some paw prints around the border. I used a variegated rainbow thread for the quilting. This made me nervous with my first free motion "live" attempt, but it turned out great! My little grand nephew loves the bright colors!

Disappearing 4-Patch

I used my scraps to create an 83rd birthday present for my Granny. She entered a nursing home in April because of her Alzheimer's Disease. My grandfather couldn't take care of her. She is the one who taught me to quilt 21 years ago. I thought she needed something cheerful for her room. Her birthday was June 29th and she loves it! She even remembers that I made it for her.

Master Bedroom Quilt

I wanted a double sided quilt that could be used for every day on one side and the holidays on the other. I used 2 quilt patterns I found in the 2014 QUILTERS NEWSLETTER best Christmas quilts - CHRISTMAS CARDS and a modified version of Merry & Bright.

Windmills At Night

I was trying to find an unusual quilt pattern for someone who loves Red as their favorite color. I Googled Red Quilts and found this photo. This lap quilt was to be made for this person who has taken care of me during my adventure with cancer.

Boy on a Seahorse

At least twice a year we vacation in Puerto Vallarta, and my idea of a vacation is sitting on the beach relaxing, reading and watching the scenery. This is my interpatation of my view of the boy on a seahorse. I hand painted the seahorse on material then quilted it and then cut it out and placed it on my pieced background which consisted of ink painting the sky, water and sand. I also made confetti out of batik to create the hills and palm trees. The rocks are from batiks layered and quilted. The sea foam is comprised of cheesecloth and thread painting. The entire piece is quilted and for an added glistening I used silver wonderful for the sea highlights.

Owl for baby

This quilt was for a friend expecting a new niece. I had the cute owl fabric, but no pattern ideas that I liked. So I used the fabric design as a starting place and drew up a large owl to appliqué. This is the first quilt I've finished entirely with free motion quilting.
