This quilt was made for my daughter’s high school graduation. She loves cats, reading and tea, so this quilt and fabric was meant to be for her!

The designer and quilter is from Australia. She loves scrappy, bright colors, and quilts all of her quilts at home. I thought the Daisy quilt was so fun (takes lots of small pieces of fabric! Yea, I have Lots of small chunks of fabric.

Every quilt has a story. The whole time pulling out fine threads and pressing these sweet garden flowers I wondered who the original maker was and would I be able to do her work proud…

This pattern is my go-to pattern for a charity quilt. Pretty quick and easy. Collecting the black/greys in my 4 ½” scrap bin and matching it with an off white and black star fabric was a winner.

I wanted a Christmas quilt to add to my holiday decorating but I am not a Christmas green and red person. Came up with this compromise and it means a lot to me for I was able to meet the designer of the quilt Eleanor Burns in person.

This colorful quilt came to life when I wanted to do something abstract for the long arming. The circles found in the pattern design allowed me a bold modern inspiration to repeat the circles in the long-arming design. Sure made this quilt pop!

Still trying to perfect the combining of two techniques…thread painting and use of small pieces of fabric. Kind of got burned out on thread painting, but love it just the same.

This quilt is paper-pieced and uses fussy cutting to highlight the owls and rabbits. The computer-assisted quilting took 70 hours to complete. I've done computer assisted quilting for 15 yrs and enjoy taking this type of quilting to new heights.

This is the 2nd year I’ve done a collab with an overseas friend who crocheted matching safari animal stuffies. We kept in touch by emailing progress pictures and visited in person during the summer to put them together.

I never make full sized quilts because of the arthritis in my hands, but when I saw this pattern in American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine, I really wanted it so challenged myself to make it. Most of the fabric came from my own scraps.
