I also do programs for others guilds and churches. I am currently booked with the San Francisco Guild in April 2000. Will be doing Clinton, Okla. in November and the Arlington, TX Guild in January 2000. I do a lot of workshops in my home as well as the Bee to help others and keep the interest of the Art going

My joy of quilting is sharing each and every idea that I learn with new quilters as well as the experienced. I have pulled a few things from the computer but none that are finished projects. My favorite thing to do is taking old traditional patterns and turning them into something exciting. I accomplish this with exciting colors, and wonderful fabrics that give movement to the pattern.

"Colorful Collage of Spinning Stars"

This quilt hung in the 1996 Houston international Show. It was an honor to have it accepted. In 1997, it won a ribbon at The Dallas Texas State Fair. The vastness of 'Gods Infinite Universe" inspired me to create this foundation pieced quilt. The pattern is a Sharon Stone foundation pieced pattern. I really enjoyed putting this together as I love to see what I can create with color and fabrics. 

"Pineapple Frenzie"

This was truly a challenge to create using several fabrics to get all the colors I wanted for this quilt. It has been entered in the 1999 Houston International Show (do not know if it has been accepted to date). I do it for fun and the because I learn so much from their intricate critique. I just wanted to get crazy with this because this old traditional pattern is wonderful to play with. Having visited Hawaii many times, memories of beautiful sunsets, wonderful pineapple fields and flowers all came together in my mind. Thus I began to drag out my best and most colorful fabrics. Results were wild! I was truly a excited when this was finished. I did not know if I should call it Hawaiian Sunset or.". ?
