I started this quilt on an informal retreat with some of my quilting friends, and every time I look at it I am reminded of what fun we had when we got together.

Machine pieced and quilted. A queen-size quilt is challenging to quilt on my little Bernina! I made this to go in my daughter Hannah’s bedroom and next on my list are a couple of matching pillows.

Machine pieced and quilted. Owned by Holly and Paul Gladd of Potomac, Maryland I designed this quilt using scraps from another project. They appear there as diamond shapes. All the other material came from my fabric stash.

Machine pieced and quilted using primarily batik fabrics. This basket weave pattern had tricky “L” seams and it took me years (3) to finish because I kept putting it down!

I made this silk chuppah (Jewish wedding canopy) for my daughter Hannah’s wedding last May. The design incorporates pieces of both my wedding dress and Hannah’s (she didn’t want a train). (Machine pieced and stitched. Silk, including wedding dress remnants.)

I made this quilt for my daughter Naomi. I began it at a workshop taught by Phyllis Fay. (Machine pieced and stitched cotton.)

This quilted portrait of my horse, Gavi, started with a photo I traced onto freezer paper. I then fused many pieces of fabric to fill in the portrait, finishing with an embroidered mane. The ice drops on his whiskers are made of white fabric paint. Machine quilted.

This is a quilt collage portrait of Toby, my daughter Hannah and son-in-law Tim’s Goldendoodle. It started as an enlarged photograph traced onto freezer paper. I then filled in the portrait with fused cotton fabric pieces before quilting it. Can you spot the photographer in Toby’s eye?

This is a portrait of Ruby, my friend Diane’s beloved pet rabbit. This quilt collage started as an enlarged photograph traced onto freezer paper. I then filled in the portrait with fused cotton fabric pieces before quilting it. The title is Big Ruby, because I also made a Little Ruby portrait. 🙂

Machine pieced and quilted. I made this bargello quilt out of old ties. Be sure to look on the other side for a surprise.
