Butterflies

This is another quilt for Sherry. I used Hermione Agee's Butterfly Charm. I love the 54-40 or fight pointy stars. I used Quilters Dream select batting and Signature Seafoam green cotton thread. I wish that I had enough nerve to use the pink thread on this instead of the matchy-match green that just blends in. The pink would have shown and been more interesting to a teenage girl. Oh, well.

Golden Pansies



This is a lasagna style quilt done with strips with the sweetest little pansy flowers in it. I decided to quilt giant pansies all over with leaves and loops. I used Old Gold thread by PermaCore and Quilter's Dream Select batting.

I got my inspiration ffrom the little flowers in the fabric. But I got the mechanics of quilting the flowers from Deloa Jones' book Quilt Me a Garden. Thank you Deloa.

Another QOV


I got this little log cabin variation in red, white and blue is a peach. I used Signature White thread and the Julie Mullin Star-Spangled Banner panto. It is my sincere desire that it bring comfort to the recipient.

My life has changed in the last couple of years - some bumps, I retired from quilting, and then I moved to Texas. I'm anxious to see what new adventures await me in the next phase of my life.
