35. Jewel Box
This quilt was made for Brian and Shana Penner's wedding. When we picked out fabric for the quilt, even Brian came and spent an hour at the store helping us--I was very impressed with that!

34. Building Blocks
I wanted to make a wall hanging for Mark's office. I originally was going to use a beautiful border print around the quilt, and based the main colors--brown and turquoise--on the colors in the border print. This was the first time doing set-in seams. After the quilt center was completed and I put the border print next to it, it was just too busy, so I used just a narrow brown border.
I used the border print to make two kaleidoscope blocks, which I then framed.
It was entered into the Big Fresno Fair in October 2001, and won 2nd place. Judge's comments: "Very nice use of color and textural prints. Suggest more quilting overall to enhance design!"

31. Stars and Stripes
I fell in love with all the paisley fabric in this quilt. It was made for best friends, Don and Trudy Eikenberry, for their new "old" home, after they painstakingly renovated an old Victorian.

30. Follow Your Heart
A friend I worked with in one of my medical offices, Lisa Newman, really wanted to move to New York City for a few years, but wasn't getting much support from friends or family. I always told her she should just go for it, so she wouldn't regret at least trying. I realized I had fabric that had the New York City skyline, and what better use for it than to make a wallhanging for someone who longed to see the skyline.
In retrospect, it's weird to see the NYC skyline that includes the Twin Towers pre 9/11.

27/28. Small Christmas Projects
For Aaron and Christa's first Christmas, we collected lots of decorations, candles, etc., and I made two handmade items--the advent calendar and the table runner. The advent calendar was always a very special part of Christmas for Aaron.
I collected buttons over a period of a couple of years--all by Ivy Cottage Buttons--only available at quilt shows--no phone orders or online orders.

26. Garden Twist
This is undoubtedly and unequivocally my least favorite quilt of anything I have ever made. I can put that in writing now that my mother has passed away.
My mother wanted a quilt for their bedroom and I let her choose the fabric. The pattern showed a splashy floral print in the center of each block, which would have been beautiful. But my mother (who was extremely picky about exact shades of colors she liked and did not like, and also was not a "splashy" person), chose a very small tone-on-tone medium blue for the centers. I did not enjoy making it, and I did not like it when it was completed. But the important part was that she loved it so of course I never mentioned how much I disliked it.
When we cleaned out my parents' room at Palm Village when my father moved to skilled nursing, I was unsure what to do with this quilt. A good friend was helping move, and when he overheard us wondering what to do with it, he mentioned that he really liked it and was sure his wife would like it as well. So we handed it off to him and it has found a good home where it continues to be loved. By someone. Not me...

23. Yellow Brick Road
My first Yellow Brick Road, a classic and iconic quilting pattern. This was a baby quilt for David Wayne Smith, grandson of very dear friend, Sherry Smith. David was a premie and only weighed
2 lbs 3 oz at birth--I thought he needed something soft and cuddly.

21. 4th of July mini
This is a table runner I made for Aaron and Christa to use with their patriotic dishes. It was a kit purchased from Quilter's Paradise.
I made an error in placement of the red fabric, so the stripes seem to run vertically instead of horizontally. Good lesson learned with this one.

19. Bedtime Story
Baby quilt for Kendell Delayne Hudgins (daughter of Rick and Karla Hudgins).
At Karla's baby shower (I hadn't started making the quilt yet--no surprise--and actually had a different pattern in mind), Karla mentioned they were decorating with a theme of children's literature. I knew this fabric would be perfect: "Brambly Hedge" based on a children's book by Jill Mead.

18. Choo-Choo
Baby quilt for Jacob Christian Wolf (first son of Rick and Tonya Wolf). He was 2 when he finally received it.
Even before she knew I was making the quilt for Jacob, Tona mentioned that they were going to decorate Jacob's room with a train theme, so it was a happy coincidence.

17. Material Evidence
This was a bedspread for Aaron and Christa's first home. My first "mystery" quilt; Christa picked the fabric--a light, a medium and a dark. Although it's hard to tell from the poor quality photo, the dark was purple, medium was lavender and light was cream.
Every month for six months, I picked up a "clue" at Quilter's Paradise. It gave cutting and sewing instructions in progressive fashion but we didn't know what the final quilt would look like until the last month when the clue was how to put all the pieces together.
