The center portion of the image is 25”x25” and has most of the thread work done here. The turtles on the lower rock area had their heads, tails and legs done entirely in thread with free-motion quilting. The fence is entirely done with thread except for the three posts.
Designed, Created and Quilted 2009. Stitching is done using free motion on the borders of the quilt in a stipple pattern. The corners were of a design for the small squares. The bricks were done with a straight stitch about ¼” in from the edge in a color-coordinating metallic thread on random bricks to add a little sparkle.
Designed, Pieced and Quilted 2006 Showing the stitching done free-motion for the ‘flowey leaves’ around the stem. The stem was appliqued on. The small border color was to match the flower and the outer border was to tie in with all the dominant colors of the quilt.
Designed, Created, and Quilted 2009. Comments: Using the concept of the Bargello design used in needlepoint patterns, I created this pattern to make use of all the rainbow assortment of fruit fabrics I had acquired. The border consists of each fabric in order and ends up perfectly.

From my own drawing, I created this applique´ piece using various techniques, including using the back of some fabrics.
Comments: I had great fun creating this quilt with real glow-in-the-dark thread for the spider web and a glow-in-the-dark spider in sewn onto the center of the web.
Utilizing a panel for the center and adding the borders made this a perfect quilt for my youngest nephew. I made matching pillows in flannel that are two sided. This shows the coordinating dark green side.
I found some wonderful space fabric including some red Mars looking print and fussy-cut the block centers. Around the border I fussy-cut from a small piece that had some cool detail images which worked well. I machine-appliqued those on.
