Robert Kaufman contacted me and asked if I would like to design a quilt for their Essex Yarn Dyed Homespun fabric line to hang in their booth at Spring Quilt Market and of course I said yes. As soon as I saw the fabrics I was in love. They have so much texture and interest and those stripes are too great. The Maritime quilt design is probably one of the most complicated patterns I've ever made or written, matching all those stripes was a challenge but I enjoyed every minute of it. This pattern will be available as a free download on RobertKaufman.com in July of this year. This is my second project I've done with RK and I just love working with everyone there. This is also the first quilt I quilted on my new Gammill Statler Stitcher, it was a blast.

Nancy’s quilt

My sister in law has always wanted a quilt. I surprised her with this and her response was priceless. The fabric reminds of her. The pattern is the courship quilt from Jenny’s Missouri Star quilting video.

Granny Squares

Created this 115x115 king size for myself using Great Granny Square pattern by Lori Holt with 2 different layer cakes for a scrappy, classic look. I also quilted on my domestic machine.

Pieced Cat Tunnel

Made this recently for my grand-kitty, Bear. The pattern is called "Cat Napper," by Sallie Tomato. I used my own block pattern, rather than the patchwork version included in the pattern, using scraps of bright cat fabrics which Bear's owner (my daughter) and I collected over the years. Bear is a BIG cat, and you can see in the picture that he loves his tunnel.

Fractured

I made this large throw quilt for my nephew who is graduating from high school in June. He plays and loves lacrosse, a Native American game, and linked the label on the back to the meaning wolves have to the Native Americans. The lines represent the paths he may take in his life. I did it in neutral colors so it will be able to grow with him. The back is Tuscana grey flannel.

I fussy cut fox pieces for the front around put bright colors around each. The pattern is called "Cheerful". The back is the fox cotton fabric. Fox Woods - Lil' Foxy Fabric - Navy by Michael Miller.

This quilt was made from bed sheets and a skirt belonging to my mother-in-law who passed away. I made several quilts from her clothes for all her children.

In Memory of Kitty 2

This another wallhanging made from my mother-in law's clothes and some batik fabrics. It is my first attempt at applique and it was difficult as the clothes were mostly stretch knits and at the time I didn't know about interfacing. I made 11 different quilts as this amazing woman had 11 children! I only photographed the first 2. I look on this website and realise I need to learn to take better photos! The pattern came from a Fons and Porter Magazine.

Hexies in the Library

This is a small quilt that I am extremely proud to show off. I am a middle school librarian in a small southern town with a high poverty rate. One day, a couple of weeks ago the art room was out of commission so all art classes had to meet in the library. With the art teacher’s help we taught the students how to hand sew these hexagons from circles. I then put them together into this quilt. The kids were so excited to see it and proudly pointed out their individual hexagons.

GIANT STORM AT SEA-DOING A PHD

This was a pattern entitled Giant Storm at Sea. I made if from paper templates using batiks. It was a gift to somone who was struggling while doing a PHD. It was meant to symbolise that even storms have patterns, struggle can bring clarity eventually! I have to keep the quilting simple as I have a tiny sewing machine. It is unfinished in this photo but finished since... My grandmother would say-A craftsman (woman) never blames his/her tools!!!
