Doctor Dog

Machine pieced and quilted. The fabric for Doctor Dog was given to me by a friend who had decided her sewing days were over. I was delighted to receive it, and envisioned a quilt that would be used by a young child at nap-time.

Improv Quilt

Machine pieced, quilted on domestic machine. I finally got up my nerve to slice and dice a special piece of fabric. I began in the center and worked my way out, adding borders until it was the size I wanted.

Presidential Quilt

Jennie Gordon

Machine piecing, hand applique, long arm quilting. This quilt was made for me at the end of my term as president of IQI. I was very touched to have so many people contribute to it.
