Asian wall hanging
Pieced and quilted by Rosemary Root
Some Asian fabrics
are so beautiful that I can hardly bear to cut them up. This
type of wall hanging is a good way to show off such lovely
fabrics. |

My friend Mary
Maynard had only a half yard of a beautiful fabric she wanted to

Cool, Crazy Carol
Pieced and quilted by Carol
Eagan
This quilt grew out of an online challenge to work
with repeats. I started with repeating the letter C, for Carol,

actually talk! |

Stepping Out
Pieced by Erin Grant. Longarm
quilted by Nanette Sutherland.
I purchased this as a kit
at the Minnesota Quilter's show some years back. I loved
the sample, which was a bit surprising sine I'm not usually
drawn to batiks. I gave ths quilt to my sister as a
Christmas gift. It's the first quilt that I've made for
her, and she was thrilled to receive it. |

A Honeymoon with Ross and Van Gogh
Pieced by Shari
Hubred. Longarm quilted by Diane Schotl
My youngest
daughter was married in September 2010. She and her husband
honeymooned in Paris and visited several art galleries. I ran
across the Van Gogh fabric online and asked my friend Rosemary
Root if she thought it would be as pretty “in person.” Lo and
behold she had it isn her stash and asked if I would like to
have it. Of course!

Pam's Dresser "Scarf"
Pieced and quilted by Marsha
Millonig.
My BFF in the Washington, D.C., area has been
waiting for Trisha and me to quilt a silk scarf of her late
mother’s. We still haven’t tackled that project. On my last
visit Pam had bought a new master bedroom comforter set. These
Moda squares I bought at one of our meetings were perfect to
make her dresser scarf.

Diamond Joy
Pieced by Sandi Irish. Longarm
quilted by Beth Kobliska.
This quilt was made for Blank
Quilting Fabrics for the Spring Quilt Market in Minneapolis in
2010. I was in a time crunch, so Beth quilted it for me. Lucky
us! It was featured in the January 2011 issue of “For the Love
of Quilting” magazine. This was the alternative color way in the
magazine. |

Sampler

from, so this one was fun.

futon in her room at home.

Christmas
Made by Diane Gooding and Jackie Evans.
I embroidered 8 x 10 Christmas blocks while on break when
working at Target in 1998 to 2001. I went to my sister Jackie's
at Christmas in 2003; she showed me how to quilt the nine-patch
and to put the quilt together. That's the day I got addicted to
quilting.

Table Runner
Pieced and longarm quilted by Sue
Tobias.
I wanted to try the Cathedral Windows pattern,

a block in a magazine and used that as a pattern.

Surprise!
Pieced by Elizabeth Moore. Longarm

I admired this quilt kit

Sun Rise

Quilt #3 for the New Grandson
Pieced and quilted
by Mo Johnson.
I found this kit at the St. Cloud quilt
show. I pre-washed the fabric and ended up short on the
brown check fabric because of shrinkage. Some say
pre-wash and some say don't. I say maybe a kit isn't the
way to go. I had fun with the fancy stitches. They
take a lot of thread.
