I consider myself an advanced beginner when it comes to quilting. I took a basic quilting class at a fabric store & was hooked. I used quilting as therapy while recovering from a major car accident. I also dabble in photography, mostly nature photography. I enjoy nature & love to share my passion for nature with my grandchildren.

North-woods Bears
I love nature and I love to quilt. Wildlife panels are a favorite of mine. This panel is Naturescapes Black Bear Adventure by Kevin Daniel for Northcott, I cut my leaves, paw prints & bears out of batiks and raw edge appliqued them onto the background. I have a relative who is a professional long arm quilter quilt my project. She did 9 designs (hand guided); 6 colors of thread. There is a sleeve on the back for hanging.

Waiting For Pa
These quilts are beginner quilts that I made in the early days of my life as a quilter. The split rail fence quilt was made with a variety of scraps. The simple squares on the other is made up of soft yellow, aqua, & lilac tones. I like to photograph my quilts & in this particular photo I brought my quilts to a historic farm near my home to photograph them on a split rail fence. While setting up my shot I turned around & caught a glimpse of this young lady in period clothing that went along with the historic farm's time period. I asked the girl & her mothers permission to use her in my photo. Both of them were very gracious. Now my quilts look like a scene right out of Little House.

Weaver Fever
I didn't realize how involved this project would be & how many pieces were in the queen size quilt (well over 2000). Took me forever to finish it. It won a piecing award.

Autumn Stars
Stars are one of my favorite things to do on a quilt. In the future I want to work on a few different kinds of stars. This one was made in fall colors so I put it in a forest full of beautiful Autumn leaves so I could showcase it.

Double Irish Chain
I made this quilt & my longarm quilter did an amazing job with the TRAPUNTO style quilting. She asked me if she could have the freedom to do whatever & I am glad she did.

panels
I fell in love with this panel & searched online until I found it. It is called "Toomuchery". I cut it up & used a whimsical grey print as sashing. The blocks were not printed square. So glad I bought several so I could pick the best out of the bunch.

Simple Block
I was thrilled to find an antique foot board and with a simple tension rod I was able to display my quilt. The quilt is a simple block style but with the soft colors it reminds me of an antique quilt.

Dad's Quilt
This is the second quilt I ever made and it was for my Dad. I used the Eleanor Burns pattern for the rail fence and made it in red/white/blue because my dad was a veteran. When my dad was still living, he was so proud to have this on his bed.

New Circles
This raw-edge applique project was pure fun to make. It was made with a layer cake of print and one of white. The sewing was simple but I think the results look less than simple.
