For a Princess
This quilt was made for my best friend's daughter. It is a log cabin with a fussy cut center block with Disney princesses and Tinker Bell and her friends. For the wings of Tinker Bell and her friends I used Glow in the dark thread so when she turned out the lights she got a nice surprise.

Whirleygigs and Bumblebees
I made this quilt for my cousin's first baby. I did both the piecing and the long arm work for this quilt. I am told that Cole loves his quilt.

For Mom
I made this quilt for my mother-in-law who is in a nursing home. Her hands are always so cold so I put a pocket lined with fuzzy softness to help her keep warm. I put her name on it in big bold letters so that there was no mistake where it belonged. The blocks are a Civil War block that I thought was pretty. It has a touch of yellow which is her favorite color. I made it as a lap quilt to help keep her warm. I quilted it in yellow thread on my long arm machine.

It's a girl
This was a pieced quilt that I made for my brother's first grand child. This was the first quilt that I quilted on my Tin Lizzy 18.

Witches Brew and Cookies Too
Our quilting guild is having an exchange of mug rugs with a Halloween theme. I looked around for ideas, but didn't find any that I liked. Then, while watching Harry Potter, I had an idea. A caldron with something flowing up from it and the words witches brew and ,,, (ya!) cookies to.

FBI on the green
At our local quilt store a black with gold fingerprint fabric called to me. "Ya, it's really pretty but what do you put with it?", I was asked. Green, everything goes with green. (It is my favorite color) and so FBI on the green was born. I paper pieced a square within a square and I Love it! This is the first quilt that I have made that will not find a home someplace else.

Plus Quilt with 3.5" squares!
Followed Jenny's tutorial except with repeating colors. Wanted the squares a little smaller so I did 3.5" squares! Love how it turned out, and it was so easy!

Country at Heart
My grandmother gifted her stash to me. This top was already pieced and was waiting for quilting. This was my first free motion project on my long arm. I marked the quilting pattern with chalk traditionally. My Grandma loved BINGO, so this quilt was gifted during a family Christmas game!

After The Rain
I finished this UFO (from an expo class) just in time for a spring baby. Has anyone ever been in that boat? The muted blues, greys and softs colors remind me of those moments after a spring rain when everything is quiet and the mist left in the air gives way to a chance for rainbows... The pattern is called "Trichisel" (fiberosity.com) and I did like the construction method that didn't use any Y-seams!

We Need Our Space - Handprints
This was a classroom auction project for my children's school. The handprint were made on white cotton oversized layer cake squares and were "crazy" pieced randomly with star print fabrics. The border was pieced with leftover fabrics and the space pictures were appliquéd on the border. The throw is quilted in glow in the dark thread with a space theme.

I made this quilt for my boyfriend's mother for Christmas. I even had him help with it and took a picture of him working on it for his mom.

Heart of Music
This quilt came from a mystery class. It's a star in a star with Irish chain. I changed one of the stars to red and also pieced a "super size" block into the back. I love black & white with a splash of red!! The pattern is not yet published, but I believe that is in the works.

Indian Puzzle
One of my first quilts, I collected fabrics for it for almost a year. Each block is the same pattern, just different colorations. It was patterned in QuiltMaker. I quilted it with a Janome MC 800 in an early Grace Frame.

My very first hand made quilt
This quilt was hand pieced and hand quilted. It was my first attempt at quilting. I had since retired and finally had a chance to put my full attention to a quilt. The quilt has applique and shadow quilting. This quilt inspired me to take the leap and continue a hobby with which I am now obsessed.

Patrick's First Quilt
Patrick decided he wanted to make his Nana a quilt for her birthday. We took some leftover 10 inch squares from a project and he laid them out the way he wanted. He sewed all the blocks together using the Baby Lock Grace (now Rachel) and the 1/4 inch foot with guide. Mom sewed on the borders and helped him longarm quilt it.

Patrick was 8 at the time and his Nana loves the quilt.
