I've been quilting since 1997. I fiddled around a bit and taught myself to start out and then a LQS opened up and I took an intermediate skills class and learned many easier ways to do things - this was before the internet! My grandmother was an avid quilter and made beautiful applique quilts - her artistry gave me inspiration to give quilting a try.

Euclid in Green
A wedding gift for a bride who likes green - NOT my favourite colour but I am happy with the results (probably because it's in Batiks). I added a border to the original pattern. The full tutorial can be found here: http://www.kayeprince.com/2013/08/tutorial-euclid-quilt.html

Purple Crazy Eights
A wedding quilt for another lover of purple! I used 16 FQs to make this larger version of the Crazy Eight pattern resulting in a very generous sized throw quilt. I had a hard time giving this one away.

Graduation Hexi
Made with a Fusions Texture Jelly Roll and MSQC's Half Hexi template, I hope this will be appreciated and loved by my husband's nephew as he graduates from high school. I decided at the end of my piecing to 'float' the coloured hexis instead of cutting off the edges straight to add the border.

Aqua Tumbler
I couldn't wait to use my tumbler die for my Accuquilt! I had also decided that I was going to practice my FMQ skills on this one so I purchased some fabric from Joannes on a really great sale. I was planning on donating it so I didn't have a lot of money or sentiment tied up in my first FMQ attempt. It was very liberating and not terribly stressful. I encourage anyone afraid of trying out their first FMQ experience not to put a lot of $$ or mental attachment in the quilt itself.

Hip & Square Graduation
Loved the crazy fabric line of Juggling Summer and found 'Get Hip and Be Square' pattern on the Hoffman Fabric site. I made it for my husband's niece's high school graduation. The pattern is no longer found on the Hoffman site but it was designed by Larene Smith of the Quilted Button.

Kaffe's Medallion
Still haven't quilted this top as I'm pretty intimidated by the wide variety of possibilities that can make it pop or flop. Made with the Quick Curve Ruler and some fun Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

Krysten's Crazy 8
Just when I thought I was going to have a year with no weddings to attend, one creeps up on me for October. Bride's (DH's cousin) favourite decorating colours are burgundy, green, and blue. I pulled out one of my 'go to' patterns and used 12 FQ plus approx. 1/2 yd of yardage 'cause the 12 FQ's just weren't creating a long enough quilt. I machine embroidered the couple's names and wedding date in this extension piece. Used my fav quilting design, an uneven crosshatch with 5" and 2" spacing. Her brother is getting married in January - back to the cutting table for another wedding quilt.

Garden Ladder
A throw sized wedding quilt. Pattern tutorial of the same name from Daisy Janie blog. Made from 15 FQ in order to make the quilt large enough and I rotated the pattern layout 90 degrees.

Scrappy Baby
I needed a quick quilt for a baby boy shower. I grabbed leftover solids from a strip braid quilt and cut them into different WOF strips (min 2.5") and did a strip and flip design. I wasn't sure how well the gift would be appreciated so I was cautious of the investment. I quilted it myself with a walking foot. Hoping he'll enjoy it well past baby stage with more grown up colors.

Rainbow Snowflake
Pinned the tutorial from Mad Quilter's Disease blog (Aug 9, 2012)and finally decided to give it a try for the local Modern Guild's Christmas wall hanging exchange. Giving it away makes me a little sad so I'm going to have to make another one for my own sewing room. Measures 16 x 16.

Camping Panel
I rarely purchase panels but this one was just too perfect for our trailer to refuse. After wetting it, spraying it with starch and pressing it to squareness I finally cut it up. It looks great in our travel trailer after using my rulers to quilt it myself on my domestic machine. I had to appliqué 2 pieces as the cut was too close to the edge of the printed panel to leave a seam allowance.

Woven Wildflowers
This is an easy quilt to make. I call it a slasher type block, because you slash the fabric, sew, and slash again and again! It's really fun and comes together fast. I think I used 3 jelly rolls for this. The tutorial cam from http://www.modabakeshop.com/2012/10/simply-woven-quilt.html

Popsicle Quilt
I made this quilt while recuperating from shoulder surgery. By the time the 100 blocks were made my shoulder was ready to go! I named this the Popsicle Quilt because the border fabric reminds me of how popsicles melt and run down little kids' arms.

The Elusive Quilt
I started quilting in 2000. After making several quilts, including log cabin quilts for my 2 daughters, I got stalled over a block of the month quilt and completely stopped quilting for 11 years. When I resumed quilting I made this quilt for my son who waited patiently all those years for me to make him a quilt. It was expertly quilted by the Missouri Star Quilt Company.

Bargello
I once saw a watercolor bargello in a magazine a long time ago. I have always wanted to do one. I have proven to myself that I'm no good at picking out fabrics for a watercolor version but with red black and white it worked.

A pattern from Jaquline de Jounge. Loved it from the first time. It's extrimly many shades of each colorgrup, But it was fun to go tru my own and my friends fabrics, to find over 250 shades of fabric. The shop nearby me had the rest. I used 1 year from start to it was hanging on my wall. Quilted by machine of me.
