I took a two day class from Vikki Pignatelli.  She taught how to make curves, using your machine, no hand stitching.  Great class, great teacher.

Wow! Good morning Hawaii!

I'm not a bright orange person at all. I saw this fabric in Bakersfield California at Strawberry Patches. The pattern called for 3 X 3 rows. I wanted it just a little bigger. This will be in the Hawaii Quilt Guild show, April 29th-May 9, 2010. Just in case you're in the neighborhood, stop by our show.

T- Shirt Quilt

This quilt was made for my brother-in-law, Karl. These are his favorite T-shirts.


This is the back of the quilt. We used some of Karl's favorite front emblems to make a row on the back.

Waste not, not even selvages.

This quilt was so much fun to make. I started making it while we were still in Texas, and just now finished it. I had friends save selvages from their quilt projects, also.

Mini 12"Quilt

Most of the blocks have 5 pieces in them. This was made by using the paper piece technique.

Baby clothes memory quilt


I kept the smocking of a dress.

I used the pockets and buttons of some of the outfits.



Lable for back. I used the lace trim off the outfit she is wearing on the picture. The fabric from the outfit is used on the front of the quilt.


Thread Catcher / Pin cushion

Paul and Kara gave me the pattern and the fabric to make this thread catcher.

Sunbonnet Sue Quilt

Everyone in my Quilt Bee made a block to put in this quilt. We made the quilt for one of our friends that is moving to Florida.




This is the block I made and then I quilted the whole quilt.
