This quilt is to commemorate our second wedding anniversary.  We bought the blue shaded fabric at a store in San Luis Obispo, CA.  We were married in that area.  Since the second anniversary is related to cloth, it seemed a natural thing to do.  My husband even did the stars for the star blocks.  Those are two little dragons kissing on the top block.  The squares on point are our zodiac symbols and the center one has our names and the date we married.

This is my insanity quilt. It is made from all the scraps I had on hand last spring.  It is just made by sewing scrap to scrap, squaring them off and doing it again and again.  Then I sewed odd shaped blocks back together again, till the whole quilt was one big piece.   I backed it with flannel, didn't use batting, and stipple quilted it.  It makes a great light weight throw.

This photo of one of our cats just seemed to say, "make it into a quilt"

 

So, I did!  I like how this turned out and hope to do more in the future.

"Reflections"

This is a challenge quilt that depicts my inner growth as an artist. Following many paths and reflecting in the mirrors as I grew to accept I WAS an artist!

This attic window quilt was made for my daughter. I used the idea that you were looking through a bunch of windows into an aquarium tank.

This is an Irish chain quilt I made for my son. I didn't realize I was making a KING size quilt when I started! I also had directional fabric to work with. It is done with tiger stripe fabric and other tiger prints.

This quilt has all the orphan blocks I had on hand when I started it. Some are from swaps, some from the classes I taught and some were experiments I tried!
