Tea Cup quilt

This quilt was made for my sister Susie in the 1990's.  She collects tea and coffee pots. 

Brandon's baby fan quilt

I made this blue and taupe fan quilt for my nephew Brandon who was born September 4, 1985.  This was one of the first quilts I ever made and although the piecing was good, I could have done a better job of tying it.  I didn't know how to quilt yet at this point.  I later made the same quilt in pink, blue, and cream for my daughter Jessica.  By this time I had taken a quilt class and handquilted it.

Heart Quillow

This heart quillow was made for my sister Susie.  Each appliqued heart is a different fabric.  It was machine appliqued and quilted.  There is a leaf pattern quilted in each corner.

Little Houses

I made this little quilt for my sister Susie back in the 1990's.  It was hand pieced and hand quilted.

Fabric dolls

I made these fabric dolls back in the 90's. 
The first doll was made for my mom.


 This doll was made for my sister Susie.

Scrappy strip lap/crib quilt

I made this lap/crib quilt for Hugs and Stitches from a Fons and Porter magazine.  The design was from an antique quilt.  I was able to use scraps from previous Hugs and Stitches quilts I had made.  I am very happy with how it turned out.  Hopefully the recipient will enjoy it as well. 
I machine quilted it using a stitch in the ditch around the triangles and a wavy design down the strips and in the border.  I used a scrappy binding that was hand sewn to the back.

Folk Art Flower quilted mat

I made this for an Eddie's Sewing Bee class.  I didn't want to purchase new fabric and so used what I had in my statch.  I wish I would have used a different fabric than the green, but since it didn't cost me anything - oh well.  I plan to put it in my kitchen to put hot things on and to protect my new granite countertop.

Table runner

I made this table runner to put on my new granite peninsula in my remodeled kitchen.  My new colors are golds and browns and this fits very well.  My husband is concerned that we not scratch the new granite and so things can be placed on this to protect the counter.
