Quiltingboard Forums - What I do when I am not beading

Here are some things I have made in the last 2 years. All are hand quilted except for the spicy spiral table runners.
So if I am not beading animals, I am doing this.
I also make quilt tops for The Linus Connection in Austin, Tx. I currently have 12 tops to bring and another dozen or so waiting in Texas to go there. They are various patterns, something simple - the last 12 are called "mile a minute" although they sure don't go that fast with all the pressing and cutting but I love putting all the scraps together for those.
Apologize for the feet in the pics. and also for the darkness, we have solar screens on all windows - next time I will get them lighter. (I hope)
Thanks in advance for looking and commenting.

Had to throw this in - a neclace I made for my sister to wear at her youngest daughter's wedding. She had a beautiful pink dress.

A table centerpiece

[ATTACH=CONFIG]125895[/ATTACH]

a quilt for a dear friend to celebrate her "Walk to Emaus". The stone (actually giraffe spots) fabric is the pathway. The center is fairy frost quilted with a triangle and circle representing The Holy Trinity, the blue/ green/brown/orange batiks represents that we are all in a sea of turmoil until we get on the right path towards God. There are 4 paths because each of us has to find our own way.

Attic Windows - a class done here at our neighborhood small group - I have a feather butterfly that is trying to get at the flowers. I used a fat quarter that was wild and I loved and its now the wallpaper inside the window.

Valentine/spring table runner

Another applique attempt. Pattern from old magazine of my mothers - cutting the large striped triangles was incorrect in the publication. The whiskers on the bunny are actual cat whiskers.
