| "Quiet Village" |
| "Green Meadows" Green Meadows is where Peter Rabbit and his friends play among the trees and flowers. This quilt was designed for our second grandson, Joey. Quilting Treasures' Beatrix Potter fabric is used along with some batiks and tone on tone fabrics. The image of a bunny is machine appliqued over hand appliqued ovals where the blocks meet. Stylized aqua triangles are hand appliqued over the orange corner triangles so the complement of orange color peeks from behind the triangles and dances around the quilt. I added a dimensional butterfly to his label! |

| Mia's Secret Garden" "Mia's Secret Garden" was designed for our first granddaughter, Mia Noel. I used Quilting Treasures' Beatrix Potter fabric for the rich color palette and because I love Beatrix's beautiful imagery. Soft pink roses surround the garden where Peter Rabbit and friends live, giving this quilt a shabby chic look. I added some appliqued flowers and butterflies to make Mia's Secret Garden complete! This quilt is featured in McCall's Quilting Magazine March/April 2011 Issue |
| "Reflections" |
| I designed “Reflections” to feature words exemplifying emotions and qualities that are beautiful to reflect on. They represent the good mankind can possess and enjoy. At the center of all this goodness is God! The appliquéd tree was added for my love of trees. Whether tall and strong, small and delicate, or twisted and gnarled, trees that have withstood harsh conditions, are all beautiful! This tree has weathered wind, rain and sun and has adapted to all. It’s been shaped by its surroundings, giving it character and adding to it’s beauty. We are much like trees - adapting, changing, enduring & hopefully developing beauty of character. |
