Winter Gnomes

When I saw Jenny Doan's tutorial on the winter wall hanging with the gnomes, I had to do it (I am of Norwegian heritage). It was a very fun project and I finally got it quilted (there's even a "God Jul" hiding in the quilting between the gnomes' hats!).

Lake Caribou

This quilt was from a kit purchased at my local quilt shop. I am new to longarm quilting and this was the second quilt I did on my longarm. I really like the nontraditional Christmas fabrics.

Madonna

I saw this painting by Mary C. Johnson called the Madonna of the Dispossessed and wanted to do a portrait quilt of it for a priest friend who was being sent to another parish. I wrote to the artist and she gave me her permission to do this quilt.

Float Plane Quilt

We vacation on Lake of the Woods in Canada and there is a float plane base by the cabin we rent. We love watching them take of and land and I took many photos - this quilt is based on one of them.

Retirement Quilt

This quilt was designed as a retirement quilt for a pastor who had also been in the Air Force, owned a music store, been in a rock band and also was an international airline captain. It challenged by use of my embroidery software and my design capabilities!

Working the Field

My daughter and her family live on a farm in southeaster Wisconsin, and she asked me if I could do a small wall quilt from a photo of her husband combining in the field, for her to give him as a gift. This is the result.
