My mother designed and appliqued this 12" x 12" block for a challenge at the Rouge Valley guild when she first joined around 27 years ago. It won first prize!
She had no idea how to quilt it and it has been a UFO since then. I machine quilted it and added the borders and binding. It now hangs in her room in her long term care home.
This is the first of the UFOs that I plan to finish this year, finally. Some are my mother's and some are mine.

"Jack's Favorite Ties"
Wall hanging (39" x 39")
Made for a friend with some of her late husband's ties.
This is a Mystery quilt that was done with Melissa Marginet.
This quilt was done using plaid flannel squares from my mothers stash.
Both were quilted by me with walking foot and both are destined for Quilts for Survivors.
I made this child’s quilt for a baby shower for my daughter’s neighbour. The family has a calico cat and black dog (the first row), they have blue jays and rabbits in their yard (second row) and their neighbour, my daughter, has two Goldens (last row).
The block centres are all paper pieced. They wanted a non-gender specific colour scheme. It was the hit of the baby shower.
