2011-Tree-Mendous

2011-Tree-Mendous 19 X 17
This little tree quilt was made entirely in the embroidery hoop. The design is such that some of the seams did not make my embroidery machine very happy because of their thickness.

2011-Ribbons

2011-Ribbons 75 X 90
Part of the reason for making this quilt was to demonstrate a variety of quilting designs in the white centers. The ribbon design was somewhat complicated to put together and get all the pieces in the right place.

2011-Eighteen Potpourri Quilts

2011-Potpourri-1 60 X 60

2011-Potpourri-2 50 X 60
2011-Potpourri-3 60 X 60
All these Potpourri quilts were made for charity. Some went to Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North and South Dakota and some went to McGuire Veterans' Hospital in Richmond, VA.
