Machine pieced and quilted. I took a class with Fran Goldberg in (I think) 2003. I finally finished this quilt this year. I love the dimensionality? See – there IS hope for UFOs!

Machine pieced and quilted. I was attracted to collections of fabric designed by Marcia Derst. They were not my usual type of fabric, but I was really drawn to them. I think I found the perfect pattern to make the most of these fabrics.

Paper pieced, free hand machine quilted. An ambitious project made for my son, Danny, and his new wife, MeiLin. It was displayed at their wedding reception in Oahu and they generously let me keep it long enough to show you.

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!
