Daughter Jessi made this felt embroidered wall hanging of my husband and me.  I think she made it when she was in college.  Just found it in my sewing cabinet.  Love it very much!
 

This quilt pattern is called Interwoven.  My daughter-in-law chose the pattern and the fabrics.  Her birthday and Christmas present.  It was a very large quilt.  The fabric colors were beautiful.  Anna colored a graph of the quilt for me to follow.  The graph showed the placement of each color.  An Ombre effect.  Anna said it turned out even prettier than she imagined.  That is a good compliment for me!

This pattern is called Lincoln Stars.  Used a moda fabrics fat quarter bundle.  I'm getting better at longarm quilting.  Had fun quilting this one.

 I bought this counted cross stitch kit on my visit to Nova Scotia.  Eastern Seaboard cruise in September, 2022.  Just finished.  It was a bit challenging for me.  Very small stitches and complicated but fun.

Larry Freemantle's Hawaiian shirts.  I made this quilt for his wife Dottie.  Larry wore a Hawaiian shirt every day his last year of teaching.  He and my husband were best teacher friends. My friend Cynde helped by making 5 of the shirts.  Very fun to make.

Applique quilt from The Quiltmaker magazine.  So fun to free motion quilt.  


Here is the back.  Free motion quilting shows up so much more on solid backing.  Not perfect but I will keep practicing!

Christmas bundle of fabric from Lancaster.  Made up the pattern myself.


A friend gave me this fabric with the rabbit and I added borders.  I'm making mini quilts to hang on the wall above my cabinets.


A Kim Diehl pattern from her mini quilts.  Darker colors.  I am making mini quilts to hang above my cabinets.



Love House quilts.  Another Kim Diehl mini quilt.



Another Kim Diehl mini Quilt.  I was able to longarm quilt all four quilts at once on my new Bernina Q24 longarm.
