Brody's Quilt

Brody is expected to arrive next month. His room is based on a giraffe theme. This will be the center panel of his quilt. I used fabric paint to create the images and it does not make the fabric stiff. It is super. Will show finished quilt later.

Underground Railroad Quilt

A 5th grade reading class at Oakland Elementary School where I teach art had just completed reading a book about Harriet Tubman. The students were given fabric squares and examples of the patterns that were used as codes. They colored the cloth with fabric markers. I have sewn all their squares together to make the top of the quilt. I still have to get batting and backing. Then the quilting will begin.

Obsessive compulsive bags

I found this bag pattern in all the ones that I have bought in the past few years. It is fun to make and there are so many possibilities with it. It takes 2 fat quarters to make it. Fat quarters are another item that I seem to have accumulated over the years. Now I can use them without hesitation.

Lauren's Moon and Star Quilt

I made this lap quilt for my godchild. She majored in earth science. The seahorses captured her interest. I also included quilt squares that are called Moon and Star. I thought these were appropriate since her last name is Moon. I used some different techniques on this quilt such as silkscreen and spray dye.
