    I've been experimenting with collage quilting and saw the Halloween Collage Cat by Laura Heine. Because I love Halloween, I had to have it - here is my version>

    Steampunk Pumpkin Zipper Bags

    I watched a Sulky Webinar about these Steampunk Pumpkin Zipper bags by Desiree's Designs and thought they would be cute for my grandkids. I used mainly steampunk fabric and grunge.

    Dresden Neighborhood Quilt

    I saw a photo of a Dresden quilt like this so decided to put my Dresden ruler to use and make one using my stash. It was a very fun project!

    Cactus Carnival Quilt

    I saw Jenny Doan's tutorial on the cactus carnival quilt and loved the look! I thought it would be a fun way to use up some of my batik stash. I used Moda grunge I had on hand for the background square and the cactus and pot appliques all came from my batik stash.

    Garden Cross

    I loved this quilt ever since I saw the photo on Pinterest. I used graph paper to count out the blocks and intended a wall hanging, but used 5" squares and a very wide border and it ended up queen sized, lol

    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.

  • Winter Campers
    Winter Campers

    I was asked to make a Christmas-themed camper wall hanging. After completing the 18" square quilt, the gal asked for three more, and wanted them all connected into one large hanging. What a task! And I had only 4 weeks to complete it. She was happy, I am happy, and wiser. I'll start my "ask-fors" further in advance from now on. Whew!
