My Canada Sunset

This quilt started with a photograph 4X6 for my niece's graduation. Lots of fabric collecting. The 90"X 80" quilt has warm and natural under the art work, steam a seam under all applique with clear YLI thread to secure, metallic thread for waves and accent in leaves. The backing is Minky Dot, royal blue. Quilted on Janome 7700, domestic machine with matching french seam pillow cases.

Moonlight Over Daisy Garden

Kate, my niece was named for my mother and so the story begins. Mother passed away 35 years ago and my niece is full filling mother's dreams-she loves yellow, she planted a flower garden, she grows her own veggies and the similarities go on. Making this quilt that my mother is still looking in our her family from heaven. And this was my first paper pieced pattern- Debby Katrovil.
