    Mine is a work in progress crazy quilt. Some of the material is from my dgm who is now passed, and some is from past projects there are so many different mediums to look at. It has each of my children's and their children's names on it, and I'm "crazy" in love with the victorian Ladies and eblems that I machine embroidered on it.

    Mine is hard to see, but my two granddaughters are having fun with the Princess quilts I made them for Chistmas. The quilts were made with inexpensive Disney princess panels. I used lavender fabric with a bubble pattern in it for the sashings and border. Definitely quilts to be dragged around and played with!

    My avatar is a "spinning spool" made with scraps of very bright colors. This was made for my GS's half sister who I absolutely adore.

    Mine is called "Radiating Diamonds". A friend of mine that I met through one of the quilt groups in the area designed the pattern. Everyone in the group bought the book and made them. I liked that pattern so well that I made 2 of them for my two children for Christmas that year. It is so much fun to make and really quite fast. She then told us how to quilt it and it was done on my home machine. Both were queen size. The two quilts complete from cut out, to binding were finished in three weeks.

    Mine is from an old quilting magazine of my mother's. I think it is called Exotic Blossoms. It's the only one of my quilts I kept. Kids and Grands got the rest. The color is appliqued to muslin blocks, then stitched together to form the overall design. It is my favorite of all the quilts I've made.

    Mine is a copy of a Japanese print. The original is a DOVER publication and all are off copyright. My husband a I have a fondness for oriental. Our living room reflects that.
    My is needle turned applique and is 2x3. Blew up a print and made templates.
    Thanks for asking.

    Mine was a brown scrap bag challenge. I had the bag for one year and never opened it. Finally the quilt show was coming and I had to do something. I opened it and found 3 x 3 inch pieces of the moose, some grey material (mountains I made from front and back side) tree trunk and a few pieces I won't mention. (yuck) We had to make our own design and this was the result. The hanging is 9x12 inches. I thought it came out just fine and I was definitely out of my comfort zone when I made it. Sometimes that's a good thing.

    I used a Jinny Beyer quilt kit. I have been wanting to do one of her kits for over 20 years but was afraid to ruin her fabrics. I saw this pattern in the McCalls Quilting (May/June 2010) and couldn't wait for it to arrive. It reminded me of my hometown during the grape harvest. (I lived in the Napa Valley for 50 years). I quilted it with an all over grapevine pattern. Now I can't wait to do her teal version.

    Mine is a quilt for my brother. He was in the middle of a very difficult divorce which involved five children he had basically been the main caretaker for the last three or four years they were together, I decided I wanted to make something that would be comforting for him.
    This was before I was really interested in quilting. It is a rag quilt made of flannel. I found the pattern on the internet. It was a lesson for beginniing quilters
