Sedona Star
This quilt out of all the quilts I've made was the most challenging. It was a block of the month quilt on the Quilt Show. I choose the colors that I love. It has paper piecing, appliqued techniques. I quilted it with my long arm. It was shown at the 2013 Hawaii Quilt Guild Show.

Holly Bag
I finally made a Holly Bag. Many of my quilting friends made the Holly bag when Holly lived her and she taught many classes. I finally found the right fabric to make one. My daughter-in-law Kara, works at a quilt store in Bakersfield, Ca and saw this fabric and thought of me. It is perfect. Thanks Holly !
Christmas Banner
This was a request from my daughter Kathleen to make this for her. I first said I quilt this is mostly embroidery. Then I thought, yes I can do this and I did.
Star Crazy
This quilt made me a little crazy. I talked 10 of my friends to buy this kit and make it with me. It first was sold as a block a month on the Quilt Show. We bought it from Superior Threads because they were selling it for 1/2 off. As of today 3 of the 10 are finished with the quilt. Now what to do with it. Because even though it wasn't expensive it took many hours to make.
Memories
This pattern was very difficult to make. I had to lay it out to see the placement of each ornament. then keep the rows together so I could sew them. Then the curves "Oh My". This was made for the Hartnett family for Christmas.
Turtles
I showed the pattern of this quilt to my grandson Colby, and told him I was going to make it as a wall hanging with only 7 turtles. He said can you make it for me but bigger. I can't ever tell him no, so he helped me choose the fabric all from fabric I had. Colby told me what fabric to make for each turtle.
Beautiful Peacock
I bought this fabric because I loved the color of the peacock. Then I didn't know what to do with it, so it sat and waited. One day I was delivering Operation Kid Comfort quilts to 3 children whose father is deployed in Iraq. Guess what their last name is. Yes Peacock.
Beautiful Debra
I made this quilt for my sister Debra. This is using Kaffe Fassett fabric. I made a bed pillow case and a throw pillow case to go with the set. I love you Debra.
Stitch a Little Talk a lot
I took a class from the designer Amy Bradley at a quilt retreat on the Big Island. This quilt was all appliqued and then stitched down and then the borders were added and then quilted.

Mason Kate Hartnett's 1st Birthday Quilt
This quilt was made as a stack and wack quilt. You stack 6 layer of fabric on top of each other, matching the same repeat designs. Then cut them and sew them back together to creat this neat design. All the border fish fabric is the same as the center octangon fabric.
Block of the Month--Tri County Guild--Texas
When I was a member of Tri-County Guild in Cypress Texas, I participated in the block of the month. How it works is-- you make two blocks of the guild's choosing. One block goes in a drawing for all participates and the other one is donated to have made for an donated to a charity group. I won 20 block and then I made a few more to make the quilt the size I wanted.
