Year 1999


 
 


 

This was my first quilt.  It's a pillow from a Thimbleberries pattern.  It was machined pieced and quilted, the buttonhole stitches around the leaves was hand finished.  It was completed  In April 1999.
 


 
 


 

This quilt was made for my son's very special 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Phillips.  Each child in his class made a self portrait and I sashed the blocks together.  Machine pieced and quilted, completed in May 1999.
 


 
 


 

This 3rd quilt was made for my good friend Maya and her new son.  This was the first quilt made on my new Janome 9000.  I love the machine!!!
 
 


 
 
 


 

This is just one of two identical quilts. The quilts were completed in September 99. I have donated one to Project Linus and the other to the Quilts For Kids service project for the Kingwood Area Quilt Guild.
 
 
 


 
 
 
 


 

This quilt was made for a dear friend of mine, Shirley.  It was made from a pattern called "An Ocean of Fishes".  What is so neat is that the first night I ever went to the Kingwood Area Quilt Guild is that the designer of the pattern was the guest speaker that night!!
 
 


 
 
 


 

This quilt is a work still in progress.  I made it during a class on machine piecing.  I'm still contemplating how I want to quilt it.......
 
 


 
 
 


 

This one was my first experiment with stained glass technique.  It was machine quilted and completed in October 99. I'm quite proud of it!
 
 
 



 
 
 


 

This one was a challenge quilt between my mother and I.  We found some 100% cotton fabric that looked like lame' and she dared me to create something from it.  I did use a pattern though(on the left) !!!  Don't tell her!!!!  The quilt on the right is my mom's.
(I think she won!!)
 
 


 
 


 
 

This is my African Quilt that I made for my dear friend Pearl who adores African art.  The center is a piece of Indonesian Batik bordered by pieces of authentic African fabric.
