The Gift

I used my Granddaughter and her new baby as models for this quilt.

Celebrate (Tree)

This was an idea I decided to try. It consists of 5 panels that are held together with some glitzy tulle and organza.

Each tree section is a combination of a collection of printed Christmas fabrics and the blue background is woven 1″ strips.

Names and phrases about Jesus are written here and there in the blue background.

Techniques: Collage, weaving, cotton batting. Heavily quilted.

Woodland Whispers

This was created in the Mosaic style and then a few whimsical animals were added, just for fun.

Candles of Celebration

Techniques: Piecing with a touch of applique for the flame. The flame has a bead highlight. Machine quilted.

There is a pattern available for this little quilt. Contact me for info.
