When I saw this panel, I immediately thought of my dear husband and how supportive and patient he is of my quilting obsession.

Saturday, May 30th, 20092002 VSQ Challenge Quilt
Saturday, May 30th, 2009
The Village Squares Quilters Challenge for 2002 was to use the star fabric with a reflections theme. My goal was to incorporate a block pattern in three different sizes, thus making it look like they were reflecting on each other. The value choices were not quite right, so I ended up with just a very bright colored wallhanging and the block pattern was lost. The challenge quilts were due the day after my husband and I were scheduled to arrive home from Iowa. I had planned on finishing the quilting and binding that evening, but we sat on the tarmac in Chicago for five hours. Needless to say, I did not finish the quilt that night or even that year!

Jungle Pride (completed)
Saturday, May 30th, 2009This quilt was the first in this series. After piecing the strip set for this quilt, I had plenty to make another quilt. 
At first I just switched the greeen and the florol print. I didn’t really like it that way, also I didn’t want this quilt to end up like an unwanted step-child. So I decided to remove the border and find another print for it.
Here is the second piece. I think I like it.
I also like the way that I did the corner on the border.
Detailed shot of the quilting.
Here I am back in 2004 working on the trapunto.

I did machine trapunto on most of the animals (except on the border were Ihad to use pretty much every space.

Well, it’s Quilt Show time. I am soooooo excited. I can’t wait to see all the beautiful quilts made by members of my guild hanging in one place. I will be at the show all day Saturday, so if you stop by please be sure and say Hi!
Feathers
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008A couple of days ago I pulled out this top I had pieced for a beginner quilt class that I taught at the Pelham Art Center in 2003. This sample was using the four basic blocks but with sashing between the blocks. 
I decided to quilt different types of feathers in the different blocks.
Then I put feathers in the outside borders and corner squares. Now I just need to finish sewing down the binding and sewing on the label. Almost ready to check off another UFO from the list.
