Lone Star


This is one of my first quilts made in about 1978. I tackled a difficult pattern right off the bat! It's machine pieced and hand quilted by me. Back when I hand quilted everything I made. I think I started this quilt first and then started the Postage Stamp Quilt at about the same time. 62" x 62". The colors came from memory of the hills from a trip out to eastern Montana. All the grass, cottonwood trees, dirt and sagebrush.

Embroidered Quilt


This is a small wall quilt. 21" x 32" I hand embroidered this and machine pieced. Made in about 1997. Not the best shot but it's winter and I can't get outside for photos. It's about 20 degrees!

Moose Runner

Moose hearth Rug. Another one of my designs. 49 1/2" x 12 1/2"


It's snowing heavily today. We are suppose to get the heaviest snowfall of the season, possibly 8" or more. It's dark and gloomy and I can't see any further than about 20 feet outside. We even had snow thunder. I'm afraid we're in for a big one! The wild turkeys are really making noise out there. Everytime it thunders, they complain!

Snow




Woke up to a bit of snow this morning. It's pretty but I'm ready for spring.
