I made this appliqued wall hanging for my mom from a stained glass pattern that she made for her door. All fabrics except the background are batiks. The black lines are Clover Fusible Bias Tape. This was my second completed quilting project.

Charm Quilt

The making of charm quilts, in which no two pieces are cur from the same fabric, was popular around the turn of the century. One legend associated with the charm quilt says that it should contain exactly 1.000 different fabrics. According to the legend, when a maiden had collected exactly 999, the man she was to marry would appear, bearing the 1000th fabric. I used a few more in order for the quilt to cover my King sized bed.

Sunrise, Sunset

I was commissioned to make this quilt for my massage therapist a year ago, she had the stipulation that it had to go to fair. It took 2nd place, I was so excited! Two months after fair she called me and said she couldn't afford to pay me for the quilt and that I should keep it. While its breathtakingly beautiful, I just cant keep it - sour grapes? So its now hanging in a sewing shop in Twin Falls with "FOR SALE" on it - how sad!

Storm at Sea

I love batiks and this quilt was on my to-do list for a pretty long time. Now I'm ready and I love it.

Jungle Quilting

Bought the panel and enjoyed quilting the heck out of it. I did the quilting by following along the different animal shapesi in matching top thread, and using the artist's lines that give shadow and definition, I also did some texture quilting in big spaces, like the ttunk, to stimulate baby's touch and feel of texture. I had a blast giving the animals a 3D feel by doing this around the bodies, hair, eyes, feet, etc. Even the sky has a cloudy feel! Added a border to the panel before quilting it. and made several matching receiving blanket, changing pads and burp cloths!

Tree of Life

I won a Tree of Life panel at a local quilting get together but wasn't sure what to do with it. Eventually I found and used the pattern "Spotlight" by Mountainpeek Creations. Fabrics are from the peacock and tree of life line by Timeless Treasures. Ginny at Candy Mountain Quilting did the machine quilting for me. I added about 500 crystals. They are hard to see in the photo but if you look carefully at the flower stamens, bird eyes and trailing leaves you can see some of them. This is the quilt that won a blue ribbon at the county fair.

Bali Pop Pizzazz

I went on a Quilting Cruise and I have only been quilting two years. Winnie Flemming (Craftsy) who is also in my guild designed the pattern and was the on board instructor. I had never done a quilt set On Pointe, and had never done mitered borders. Winnie did not throw me overboard in all my confusion, and somehow I finished the quilt.

Jill's Shooting Star

One of my friends moved far away into a new home, but still visits periodically. In her new home there was a flat screen TV mount over her fireplace. She did not want to put a TV there, but could not easily take the mount down without damaging the wall. She asked if I could make a wall hanging to cover the space. Once I completed the project, she had it framed and it looks perfect above her fireplace.

Rainbow Dreams "Best Day Ever"

This quilt is my very first completed quilt. The pattern is called "Rainbow Dreams" by Amy Ellis, but I call it the "Best Day Ever" Quilt named after the beautiful fabric line I used. The fabric is by April Rosenthal for Moda. I saw the picture of this quilt on the front cover of the MSQC Block Magazine and just knew I had to have one of my very own. Being a novice (NEW) quilter, I was so very proud when it finished beautifully and even a friend of mine who is a quilter complimented me on my beautiful piecing and points. I love this quilt SEW MUCH! I know it will always hold a special place in my heart since it is my first.

Boy on a Seahorse

At least twice a year we vacation in Puerto Vallarta, and my idea of a vacation is sitting on the beach relaxing, reading and watching the scenery. This is my interpatation of my view of the boy on a seahorse. I hand painted the seahorse on material then quilted it and then cut it out and placed it on my pieced background which consisted of ink painting the sky, water and sand. I also made confetti out of batik to create the hills and palm trees. The rocks are from batiks layered and quilted. The sea foam is comprised of cheesecloth and thread painting. The entire piece is quilted and for an added glistening I used silver wonderful for the sea highlights.
