Dog Quilt

My son designed this quilt for his graduation gift. Needless to say, he's a dog lover.

We selected black, tan and white stripes to match the markings on our dog - a black lab/beagle mix.

The back of this quilt is tan fleece. This adds weight and warmth to the quilt.

Log Cabin Quilt

The winter of 2006-2007 brought record snow falls and cabin fever. I dug out the Log Cabin quilt I had started 20+ years ago and resumed hand piecing it. By the time I finished it in the spring, I knew I would not want to hand quilt it as well. Someday I want to requilt this in better colors, with feathering in the light portion. If only I'd taken my quilting classes sooner....

Eight Pointed Star

Made this quilt as a wedding gift. The bride chose the fabrics, I designed the pattern. Had NO idea how much work would be involved. It wasn't finished in time for the wedding, but here it is on their king-sized bed. Can't believe I quilted this on a little sewing machine, with no walking foot.

Pinwheels

I made two identical pinwheel quilts for two nieces who shared a bedroom.
