These blocks were part of the batik or hand dyed heart swap.

I stippled the white on white fabrics and left the hearts alone...I think it really makes them pop out!

This quilt was displayed at the Peace by Piecing Quilt Show 2002.

It was also entered into the 2002 NC State Fair under the Beginners Category, and it won!

It also won First place in the mixed technique category at the 2005 North Florida Fair.

Approx. 33" x 41"

This quilt is focused around the signatures from quilters on the internet. They we kind enough to send me their signatures. To everyone that sent me their signature, Thank you!!

The yellow and purple fabrics were from a monthly swap I participated in for a few months and they give it a great scrappy yet cheery look!

I stippled the yellow and purple areas. The siggies sorta pop out!

This quilt was displayed at the Peace by Piecing Quilt Show 2002 and the 2004 North Florida Fair, where it won 1st place pieced quilts and Best of Show.

This ragged flannel "quilt" is for me. One of our dogs has decided that she likes the blue and yellow one I made before, so I had to make me one if I didn't want to be cold.

This one is bigger than the blue and gold one.

I joined the Quiltin' Sisters for July-December 2001. We each had a pal, mine was Kate:)

Each month had an assigned color. We exchanged a fat quarter of that month's color along with a block made of those colors and white on white. I made an extra one of what I sent Kate so I would have one too:)

Along with great fabric and blocks, we exchanged emails, little gifts and friendship!

This is the quilt that I made with our blocks, and also the FQs. The border fabric is from our FQs and the backing and binding are pieced together from the FQs.

Approx. 40" x 52"

This is a quick and cute quilt to donate to one of my guild's charities.  I used thick batting so its nice and puffy, and colorful strips of fabric were tacked on by machine and then tied in a knot.  I hope it makes a little one feel special.

Approx. 41" x 51"

This quilt was commissioned by a man from the internet.  He wanted a quilt like my blue and gold rag quilt, except he wanted it bigger and heavier.  So I hand dyed blue and brown flannel and made the top and then dyed blue flannel for the backing.  After it was quilted and bound, I can truly say its heavy!

Approx. 61" x 91"

This block was part of a Calendar Sue swap...the swap didn't have full participation, so I took this one block and made a little something for my door for April.

Sue is all dressed up in rain gear, walking thru a puddle, so I decided to quilt in the rain.

This quilt was commissioned for a baby, but the parents decided not to find out if it was a boy or girl.  So I chose 4 colors of the same print to make the top.  The backing is an Aunt Grace flannel, with the same pastel colored little animals on it.  I love this flannel fabric, and hope that the baby will love the whole thing:)  Boy or Girl!

Approx. 39" x 47"

This little quilt was made at my quilt guild's Charity Sewing Day.  All the supplies were donated by guild members or local businesses.  I choose to piece this quilt out of a balloon print and solid blue.  The backing is a white seersucker fabric.  It was quilted using the flip and sew method.  I got this one done that day and even got together some supplies to bring home to make a couple more.  All for a good cause!

This is for my guild's charity.  The fabrics are bright colored mice on the front and a solid blue for the back.  I stippled it with silver thread.  Something cute and warm for a little one!

I tied this quilt with the pink print fabric.  It just seemed to need something else, so I stippled it around the ties.  I think it will last a long time for some little one.  This one is also to go to charity.

This quilt was a mystery pattern on the Down Home Quilting site.  I used a red with white stars print, a blue with white stars print and solid white.  Very Patriotic!

I bound it with alternating strips of the red and the blue fabric used in the top.  The backing is a red, white and blue calico squares print.  I made a label and drew a star with a flag on it.

Approx. 36" x 36"

This quilt is for a local quilt shop's Wizard of Oz challenge.  Each participant bought a packet of 6 Wizard of Oz FQs.  You could do anything within a size range and add any fabrics you wanted.

I was awarded the third place ribbon!!

The border is paper pieced so it kind of looks like a crazy quilt, and the center design is hand painted.  The label is also painted.

The center is stipple quilted, and the crazy pieced part is stitched in the ditch.

It took about 60 hours total for this quilt.  I'm glad to be done:)

This quilt was also displayed at the Peace by Piecing Quilt Show 2002, NC State Fair in 2002, '03 NC Quilt Symposium Quilt Show and the 2004 North Florida Fair where it won 1st place in Novelty Quilts.  It has also won the 1st place ribbon in the painted quilts category of the 2005 Columbia County Fair.

This little quilt is made out of the same line of fabric.  There are 4 colors and 2 prints.  I think the stars really pop out.

I stippled the whole thing on my new Juki TL 98-E, and it took less than half an hour!

This quilt is made from 13 blocks from the CQP's Let It Ravel Swap.  The pieces of the blocks are sewn on top of a solid block, leaving a quarter inch around the stitching which ravels when it is washed.

Flowers were big entries in the swap so I took the 12 flower blocks out of the 20 I had and made the top from them.  The cute bee on the back was just too irresistible.  I wanted to include it in the quilt top, but there the other blocks didn't fit in with the flower theme, so I let the bee fly around the back of the quilt.

I used flannel for the batting, so it is a light weight quilt.  I just stitched around the blocks, and the outside so it will ravel also!

Approx. 35" x 45"

This quilt was made for my quilt guild's charities.  The brown fabric had seed packets on it and the blue matches some of the blue in the seed packs.

This is another quilt for my local guild's charities.  The pink paisley fabric is very pretty and the two solids and two prints compliment it.  I stippled this quilt and had fun!
