| Several weeks before Christmas 2000, Steven said he wanted a quilt for Christmas! The quilt to the lower left is that quickly made quilt (it included "space" fabric, as requested by Steven. The quilt to the lower right is one I made for Andrea, the lighter fabric has bunnies on it! That bunny fabric was bought at Andrea's first quilt show here in Charlotte.

This quilt was started and completed in January 2001. |

| The first three pictures are of what I call my Quilt of Ties. In trying to decide on a gift to give to my mother, who is in a nursing home following a stroke, I remembered her giving me my fathers ties when he passed away, in October of 1992. I made this quilt for her, and now he can keep her warm again, as he once did. I completed this quilt in Debember 2001. |
