Those
of you who have been to my quilt shop know that I specialize
in starting projects. And starting them. And starting
more. . .
This means
there aren't a lot of quilts to show for my efforts.
Right now-among others--I have several quilt tops ready
to quilt, a "crazy quilt" I've assembled to cut out
and cover a sweatshirt, ten blocks of an appliqued North
Pole village-with two more to go, the first apple core
of 300 I plan to hand piece, English paper piecing style,
75 pieced flower gardens waiting for me to connect them
with little green hexagons. Well, you get the picture?
Here are a
few projects I've finished, though. I hope you enjoy.
My one and only Endless Chain mini-quilt was
auctioned at the Vermont Quilt Festival in
2005 to benefit Make a Wish and ABC Quilts.
Sadly ABC Quilts no longer exists, but don't
forget www.projectlinus.com
if you're interested in helping children in
need. |

This Rick-Rack quilt went toward the fight
against juvenile diabetes in a wonderful fundraising
auction put on by Brenda Novak, an author
I worked with on the More Than Words anthology.

This house quilt hangs above my bed, and it
was among the first quilts I finished. I love
this quilt for several reasons. First, you've
seen my love affair with houses. This website,
my book covers. Need I say more? Second, this
was a swap quilt, the only swap I've had time
to participate in. I love the community feel
of this. I trusted strangers to send me their
best work, and they did the same. |

This Lone Star quilt has hung in my living
room now for more than a year. But since my
novel in progress (the fourth book of the
Shenandoah Album series) is titled Lone Star,
I thought you'd want to see that I've had
some personal experience with this pattern.
And what fun that was. |

As always the ladies in the quilt
shop and I thank you for stopping by. By the way, if
you make any of the quilts in my Quilt Along With Emilie
Richards series, and you'd like to see them here, send
me a photo or a file to download. I know the quilt shop
visitors would love to see them.
