Aubrey's Family Tree

Baby Quilt - Birch tree with blue birds. 60" x 60"
This is a double Irish Chain pattern. I used 12 "tree panels" ( 21" x 21") to create the quilt front, stretching the tree until it filled all the spaces between the colored squares of the chain. I put one of the original tree panels on the back of the quilt. Not for sale.

Caelyn's Family Tree

Baby Quilt - Birch tree with red birds
Grandmother's Fans and Jacob Ladder blocks.
Adapted from a picture in a book that had vines on the white areas. Not for sale

Labyrinth - I took a class to make this quilt. When I was pinning it up to quilt I noticed 7 places in the pattern that were "impossible." That is the top of the wall vanished or the perspective of the corners did not work. I appliquéd on the pieces to correct these 7 errors in the pattern. With the dense quilting they completely disappeared. $900.00

Mexican Sunrise - 42" x 42" $400.00

Ursus Maritimus - I created this "Zentangle" polar bear for an Earth Day Challenge. The purple fabric of the shadow was given to everyone to use in their piece. The back of the quilt is black fabric and I used white bobbin thread so there is a reversed image of a polar bear at night on the back of the quilt. The top quarter of the quilt tells the plight of the polar bear due to the shrinking ice of the Arctic region.

Fabric at top is what the kaleidoscope blocks come from. The triangles are all the scrapes cut from each end while cutting all the 30/60 degree triangles for the hexagons. Fussy cut butterflies breaking free and go to the flower garden below.
