2010-Serger Quilt

2010-Serger Quilt 40 X 50
I also made this serger quilt at the Eleanor Burns workshop, but I really did not like the way it turned out because it took a lot of work to get it to lie flat to quilt it.

I started this little quilt in an Eleanor Burns workshop and finished it at home.

2010_Joy To The World

2010_JoyToTheWorld 31 X 45
I like this silhouette of Bethlehem as the focal point of a Christmas quilt. The border with Christian symbols seemed to be the perfect choice.

2010_Don's Quilt

2010_Don's Quilt 52 X 60
I made this quilt from construction tools fabric for a friend who had knee surgery because I have worked on many construction mission projects with him and he designed the sign which was on the side of our tool trailer. I took a picture of the sign and made an embroidery design from it.

2010_CourtHouse Steps

I started this quilt in a workshop class I tool. I like the applique flowers, but I am not sure I really like the quilt.

2010_Bluefield 1922+

2010_Bluefield 1922+  
I designed this quilt for a Bluefield College silent auction. The mountains in the background are reminiscent of the view from my dorm window when I was a student there. The photographs are of buildings on the campus and important people in Bluefield's history.
