This is the quilt I made as a wedding present for my brother and sister-in-law. They have several hummingbird feeders in their yard and enjoy watching the hummingbirds. When I saw the name on the pattern -"Hummingbird" - I knew it was the one I wanted to use. Quilting is stitch-in-the-ditch around the "hummingbirds" and hand quilted in the middle of each hummingbird and the background.

Batik Geese Crossing

I made this quilt for my niece, Julia, who is mad about peacocks. Rather than making her a peacock quilt, I made her a flying geese quilt in peacock-colored batiks on a black background. She loves it.

Posy Pots

I saw this quilt years...and years ago on Simply Quilts and knew I wanted to make it. I found the pattern in "Patchwork Picnic" by Suzette Halferty and Nancy Martin and started it in 2003. I finished piecing and appliqueing in 2004 but didn't finish the hand quilting until 2009. It's a happy quilt and I still love it.

Hopping Hearts

He likes frogs. She likes rabbits. They love each other! My brother asked me to make a relationship quilt for his wife's birthday using their two favorite things - frogs and bunnies. I was inspired by the fact he knew what a relationship quilt was and by a bricks and bunnies pattern I saw on the internet. I changed out some of the bunnies for frogs and added a big heart where these hoppers found found each other.

Small Steps

Made from a Jo Morton in the December 2010 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. The strips are cut 1", so it takes a while. The gal that quilted it for me actually figured out the number of pieces...2,448.

Make A Wish

This Bonnie Hunter pattern was perfect for a quilt sent to Phoenix AZ for a hotel Grand Opening and benefit for the Make a Wish foundation. It was purchase by a co-worker who brought it back to Minnesota.

Lovely by Moda

This was a kit that I purchased. I loved the colors and the pattern and am pleases with the results. I always sew the quilt top on the machine, but hand quilt to finish.

Disappearing 4 patch

I made this using charm packs and the Disappearing 4-patch Missouri Star Quilt Company tutorial. It's one of several baby quilts that I have stored away for when I need them.

Annalise's Quilt

Baby quilt for my 4th granddaughter. Design came from 2 different fish quilts I found online. I used blues b/c her room is painted a light/medium teal that changes hues as the sun light moves through the day. Some of the fabric patterns mimic water. The border is scraps of the fish fabrics that follow the fish from light to dark around the quilt. Quilting was done in waves to represent water.

Tree Lot

I saw this Daniela Stout pattern and example quilt at the San Diego Quilt Show in 2012and fell in love. Batiks! I got Robert Kaufman's Cornucopia 2 jelly roll for the trees, Cornucopia 2 Autumn for the backing and Makower UK Essentials White for the background. Fast forward two years and my cousin is getting married. They are from Missouri where trees and snow are a thing. They live in CA so a lap quilt would be perfect and fit in my novice wheelhouse. Daniela was incredibly helpful with the tree top block since the first time out I cut off the points by mistake. All quilting is trial and error. :) I pieced it and fretted. A wedding gift is a heady thing so I decided to have Missouri Star Quilt Company (LOVE them) do the machine quilting. The job they did with the snowflake pattern was amazing. I created a lovely label by printing a fabric background with lettering in a box in the center and sent it off with some $$ in case they really weren't quilt people. ;) Needless to say, I heard back today and they LOVE it. I am so gratified and stoked to keep on what has become an incredible journey. I love piecing and learned so much. Next up will be my first attempt at machine quilting myself.
