My son, Scott, took a photo while out hiking.  I really liked it.  I asked him if I could do a quilted wall hanging of it.  He liked the idea so here it is.  This is done with little snippets of fabric for the flowers and trees.  What a challenge!!!

Sweet Agnes

 

 

This is named "Sweet Agnes".  She was one of my favorite aunts.  She lived to the age of 102 and was a delight until her death.  I knitted her sweater and beaded her necklace.  I also, used fabric paint on her hair.

Midnight magic

This is made with angelina, crystals and thread art.  We will usr this as a wall hanging.  I love it because it is so bright and happy.

Pot holders

Potholders

These potholders look so real when they are on the kitchen counter.  You almost want to enjoy a piece of pie and a scoop of ice cream.  They do take some time to make but are so fun to have in the kitchen.  I have also made blackberry.  Always something new on my "plate".

Silver City, New Mexico

I have finally finished this wall hanging.  I made the pictures a while ago and always wanted them in a wall hanging.  I am so happy to finally get this done.  This will be entered in a show in Flagstaff in June.  If you are up that way, go to the Four Corners Quilt Exhibition, June 11 - July 20th.  Let me know if you go and what you thought of the show.

Zen Quilt

This was a really fun quilted wall hanging to make.  It is composed from doodles (except for the first one). The first one is something I saw in a craft book.  Most of the color is done with fabric watercolor paints.  I used black thread as well as some color thread.  It was so enjoyabel just doodling.  It is called Zen quilting.  I have given it to our daughter, however, I am taking it back to put it in our local quilt show in March.  There will be over 100 quilts in this show.  I will have 3 wall hanging there.  Maybe some of you may want to come see the talent in Green Valley.  It is March 15 and 16.  It would be nice to see you there.

"Day of the Dead"

This was so fun to make.  The pillow is for a friend of our daughter's.  She has a collection of "day of the dead" things.  It just amazes me what one can do with a little bit of fabric and a sewing machine.

Blue Moon

This is my latest quilt. I first designed it, then used the "quilt as you go" method to finish it. I worked on it for about 6 month before I could call it finished.

Round Robin

This was my first experience doing a "round robin". It was so much fun. It started with my center square, the purple with the flowers appliqued. The next person did the next round and so on until all the ladies in the group did a round. I was amazed when I got it back as I had not seen it after I gave my starting square. Just thought you would like to see it.

Scott's Photography

This is a copy of a photograph that our son, Scott, had on his web-site. I just loved it and asked him if I could try to make a quilted wall hanging of it. I love the way it turned out. It is made of cotton fabric, netting, fabric paint and then quilted. Some of the trees are made with tiny pieces of fabric which I call snippets. It was so much fun to make it and to see it completed.

Black,White and Red all over

This is another "Quilt as you go". This is one side that I will use most of the time. It was a great way to use up leftover fabric. As you know, I just can't throw away anything. It can always be used for something. The top picture is the other side.

Apache Junction Police Dept.

The Apache Junction asked me to make them a wall hanging that looked like their insignia. Since Apache Junction is in AZ. I used the state of Az. as a background.

Clubhouse wall hanging

I made this for the clubhouse in the community we once lived. It showed what some of our friend did when they came to Apache Junction in the winter.

Camping in Sedona

This piece was created for some friends that camped in Sedona for many years. They gave me a snapshot to copy. It was so much fun to make.

St. Joseph and Baby

Since our daughter paints Icons I decided to try one in cloth and quilt it. I know I need more practice but I will do just that.

Wild Star

This is the first time I did paper-pieceing. What fun!!! I don't have any idea what I will do with it. Have any ideas? Let me know.

Red, White and Black

I had to brighten up our second bedroom. I think this did just that. The wall hanging is just temporary until I finish a larger one. I still need to make new valances.

Every man is an island

The palm trees are appliqued on hand painted fabric.
