This is a small quilt that I am extremely proud to show off. I am a middle school librarian in a small southern town with a high poverty rate. One day, a couple of weeks ago the art room was out of commission so all art classes had to meet in the library. With the art teacher’s help we taught the students how to hand sew these hexagons from circles. I then put them together into this quilt. The kids were so excited to see it and proudly pointed out their individual hexagons.

January Nights

I won my guild's block of the month last January and put together this quilt using those blocks. I was planning on giving this one away but my husband claimed it saying it was his favorite. He uses it whenever he is watching TV.

Dad's Ties

I made nine of these for family members for Christmas this year. Each one was a little different. They are made from the leftovers from a quilt I made for my mother earlier this year which was made from sixty years of my father's ties.

My Father's Ties

This quilt was a labor of love. It is made up of ties my father wore over the sixty years of his married life. They include ties from special occasions and hobbies and passions. The backing is a wood print because my father was a carpenter. I sewed the tie labels into the binding.

All the buildings in New York

This is the City Quilter's 2015 Row by Row. It was a lot of fun choosing just the right buildings and I really like the way this turned out.

By the Sea

The original pattern for this quilt was of houses in a winter scene. I decided to make it a beach scene and added the sun, kites, seashells and surfboards.

Jellyroll Race

I made this quilt for my sister-in-law who was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. I didn't want it to be too obviously pink.
