I made this quilt from a pattern by Jackie Frost, Ann Wendinger and Cindy Wendinger which A dear friend who is experiencing great challenges in her life is the recipient of this quilt. I hope the biblical verse gives her inspiration as she copes with those challenges.

Embrace Each Day

This is a Cheri Payne pattern using my favorite fabric line, Kansas Troubles. I just love all the colors in this line AND I love how this wall hanging turned out. Thank you, Cheri and thank you, Lynn Hagmeyer.

Bittersweet Briar

Saw this wonderful pattern by Kim Diehl in a magazine article and thought I would try my hand at it. So I tried to make the design on my own and it didn't turn out too badly. After completing the center design and adding the borders I discovered that Kim Diehl's book 'Simple Graces' had the complete pattern and was sitting on my bookshelf! Uffda. All that extra work and I had the pattern the whole time. This quilt was four years in the making. So happy its finished!

Wool Crazy Quilt

My sister-in-law and I saw this on a website and really loved it. She contacted the designer to see if there was a pattern but alas there was not. So we set about trying to figure out how it was made. We spent three days together making these little wall hangings and this is my end result.

Pie Birds

This little table runner is taken from Kim Diehl's book Simple Charm using, my favorites, Kansas Troubles. I am novice machine quilter but I wanted to try the suggested quilt pattern. So with my trustee chalk pencil I proceeded. Although things went awry in some places, over all I am very happy with the finished runner.

Stool Cover

I purchased this little stool several years ago (perhaps 20) with the idea of put a new cover on it. It had been red which didn't go with anything I had. I finally decided to do a wool project for the cover. This is the final result.

Applique table topper

This was an experiment using scraps for the applique. I used part of an applique pattern from Kim Diehl's "Simple Comforts" book. Then added a border. It was fun to make and it is always nice when a vision becomes a reality.

Little Red Eleven

Saw this pattern in a magazine and it was done in red work. I thought it would be really cute done in Kansas Troubles fabrics. So that's what I did. Love the way it turned out and it was a rather quick and easy little project.

Wool Tank Tini

This was an experiment. I was interested in trying some wool applique so I modified a pattern I saw for the back of the toilet. My thought was it is a small project and if I didn't like it I could just throw it away, but I liked it! I enjoyed working with the wool so I expect there will be more wool projects in the future.

Bountiful Harvest

This wonderful wall hanging was shown in Quilt Sampler magazine fall/winter 2010. While on a recent quilting trip with my sister-in-law, one of my tasks was to find the wools needed to create this wall hanging. Once the colors and textures were found, the wall hanging went together quite quickly. I love working with wool and the embroidery was and added bonus.

John Egart Tribute Quilt

A dear friend of ours contracted a terrible cancer and has struggled for several years. A group of friends put together a benefit for him. This is the quilt my husband and I contributed to the silent auction at the benefit. The pattern is called 'Bordered Squares' from MSQC tutorial. I absolutely love Kaffe Fassett fabric so when a layer cake became available, I grabbed it!

Oh My Stars!

Picked up this little quilt as a kit. Loved the fabrics, Kansas Troubles, and the colors. Once I finished the top, I realized that the back was an entire little quilt on its own. How fun! The pattern is from My Heart to your Hands and the designer is Lori Smith. Finished size is 16" by 20".
