Hand appliqued, machine quilted. I used some fabric I had previously painted (the background) and dyed (the flower and border). The diamonds on the right are my own addition.

Machine pieced and quilted. This was my IQI Quilt-In project for many years. Each January, I would grab this project off the shelf & work on it for most of the weekend. I think the top took 6 weekends to cut and sew – but that was 6 years!

I used a commercial pattern but as all quilters know the fun is in the fabric. I chose colors and designs that would complement the home of my friend Susan.

Hand appliqued and hand quilted. This quilt was made for a co-workers wedding. The center is a pattern and my daughter worked with me to design the border.

My quilting group had a Quilt-A-Thon in January 2008. This was the project we made and we all brought fabric strips to exchange. There were some “orphan” strips at the end of the day that I adopted, so the quilt just kept growing!

I won these blocks from an on-line quilting group’s monthly challenge. They come from all over the U.S. I tried a new quilting technique and had fun putting a different picture in each block.
