more projects


Our guild held a landscape art quilt class this summer, this is my Landscape quilt, I used antique hat veiling for the curtains in the window.

This is an art quilt, it's a picture of our Mother, me the bigger child and my sister Linda (about 4 months old) waaaay back in 1945.  I made this for our mom who is in a nursing home she is 93 years old


A trip to New Orleans and not one single fabric shop on Bourbon St---Whaaaat?
This is me at Pat O'Brian's restaurant, had a Hurricane drink and got real happy, we had so much fun, my sister was my traveling partner.

SO MANY 9 PATCHES

I cut all my scraps up into various sizes of blocks and i sewed a bunch of them into 9 patches --222 of them to be exact.  So what to do with them?  I made this 9 patch quilt and only used about 80 of them but I'm happy with this quilt and will decide what to do with the rest of them. 




Irish Memories

While in Ireland in 2012 at the International Quilt Festival i purchase a kit for the center block then i design the rest of the quilt.  Each block has an Irish Theme, the back has the Irish flag for my label.  I added the little lamb and flower buttons on the center block, there is some hand embroidery in the heart block.  What a wonderful time the Irish people showed us and Olivia my Irish friend showed me more hospitality and more of Ireland while i stayed with her the extra 6 days on my trip.  Hopefully will go for another visit in 2015.
