art: quilts I have made

"Sea of green and blue"; flannel quilt for king bed, bedspread size. Over 800 4" squares of about 60 different fabrics, alternating blue and green. Machine pieced. Commercially machine quilted with a wave pattern.

"Iris" wallhanging quilt. My first quilt; it's all applique. The quilting was done by hand on the black "lead." At the time, I didn't own a sewing machine. I love the stained glass look, but I so hated sewing this by hand that I can't stand the thought of working on another one. Gave to my parents, who have a stained glass studio.

"First quilt" approx 4' x 6'. My first complete patchwork quilt, made as the first quilt for a newborn baby. Awarded an Honorable Mention at the 2000 Lakeside Quilter's show. The second image shows the quilting: the front was monofilament (invisible) while the back was a rainbow thread.

"Flags." Fabric on paper.

10 baby afghans I crocheted for The Christ Child Society (Oshkosh chapter). My favorite is the top one, concentric squares (green, blue, green, blue).

Two of many quilt stencil postcards I made during a lovely weekend in October. I fell in love with eyelets this weekend.

I stamped six postcards, cut them into 24 1" squares, then put them back together as a series of "quilts."
