I was asked to make a quilt for the 1997 raffle for the Monroe (Washington) Historical Society. This is the result. |  |
 | This is the result of a swap on AOL. We swapped purple blocks, using the same pattern. I actually won first place on AOL's first quilt contest in the Group quilt category! |
My first applique quilt. Saw the pattern in Quiltmaker, and fell in love with it. Looks great in the diningroom! I did learn that fabrics shrink at different rates, and you should NEVER mix unwashed and prewashed fabrics in the same quilt... especially if you are using fusibles. |  |
 | When we lived in Nashville, I joined a quilt guild. The Summer of 96 we had a 'brown bag' swap; also known as a round robin. I pieced the middle block; the rest was added to by 5 other members. I think they did a great job! |
And this is my result of Malcolm's Mystery Quilt (link is on my main page). It was a gift for a new mom at work. I love bright colors in baby quilts! |  |
 | Detail of the quilting in the 'sea' area. I used matching metallic threads on the fish, and turquoise rayon thread in the water. |
