My most recent wall quilt "Golden Poppies."  A new direction I'm taking with quilting these days.  One DOES run out of beds to put quilts on!  Watch for my Peacock coming soon!
I had to say good-bye to my sweet kitty Lizzy this morning.  She has been a cuddly, purring friend for over 16 years.  RIP, sweet girl.  I miss you already.
Finally completed my peacock wall quilt. I'm happy with it, and just love the colors!!

"Happy Village"   LOVE this little wall quilt.  It is made with the strangest method, but it all works out in the end.  I took all kinds of abuse at a retreat while I was putting this together!  Nobody believed it would tur
An early effort at free motion quilting.  Looks great from several feet back!
Unfinished quilt top.. what quilters call a UFO (Un Finished Object)   The top is finished finally but now I have to quilt it.
Close up, to show the sparkly thread stars I used in the quilting.  But, I don't think it SHOWS!!
This, to show the brick pattern in the quilting.
This is a Salad Plate Quilt.  It is made with a salad plate as the template for the circle.  HINT if you try one, be SURE you have a salad plate that is 8" in diameter, or something easily to divide.  This plate was 8 3/16"
Cats in the Moonlight.
I love the colors and the beautiful batik fabrics on this wall quilt
