This quilt captures a real, unposed moment with our cat, Kai, and her signature scowl as she helped me with an art project for a fundraiser for a local cat rescue. Inspired by June Yeager's animal portraiture style of quilting.

I change out entryway wall hangings for seasons and holiday but didn't have an Easter one yet, so this was as good of time as any to make one.

I'm a cat person and always thought this pattern would be so cute with a Christmas theme. I will be giving it to a good friend for Christmas this year.

This is my entry to the 2026 INMQ Machine Quilting Challenge

Original design entirely machine pieced, using Ricky Tims Locomotion process. It reflects the cold early spring of the Northwest when plants are just emerging. Winter Sowing is a popular way to start early plants. Hence, Winter Sewing.

Karin was a beloved member of the Cheney Country Quilters Group. She passed away in 2026 and I was given a fragment of her quilt to finish. I wanted to showcase her imaginative embroidery and finish this quilt to celebrate her talent.

I purchased this quilt top at Art Salvage in Spokane and I knew I needed to finish it for the unknown quilter.

This friendship quilt was made from a block exchange among the Nene Quilters Group circa 1990’s. So glad I finally finished this quilt. It is a wonderful reminder of my time living on Kauai.

We lived in Alaska for 35 yrs before moving to Spokane in 2015. I learned this block at a quilt retreat by Theresa, Cuppa Tea Quilting and loved doing it. I collected Alaska themed fabric (some from Alaska) and it’s for my guest room trundle bed.

Inspired by a trip, a patio filled with color of turquoise, yellow and oranges.
