More Books & Patterns

I am in the process of writing several books and writing up patterns of quilts which have received rave reviews.  Please check back later for more info.

Check out more info on my first book "Cut Work Portraits & Other Art Quilts" on my Goings On page.

To come later:
Books:
Cuddle & Bloom - prayer pals - using my favorite technique - cyanotype!

Butterfly Prayers - based on a quilt I made for my best friend.  You can see this quilt in my blog:

Everyday Moments - Celebrating those days that are just a quick glimpse in time, but we remember forever.  For example - who can forget this first one?
  1. Best Mom in the World Day
  2. The Jewels in My Crown
  3. EOM (End of the Madness)
  4. Walking in my Father's Footsteps
  5. Ready for Church


Patterns:
PB&J - a simple comfort quilt made for my nephew Ethan as he headed off to Bible College.  See his quilt and the quilt made for a couple of girls from church in the My Project Gallery page.

Denim Diamonds - I came up with a simple large block technique that uses only 4 blocks but makes a fantastically gorgeous denim quilt, in 7 variations!

Seasons of a Woman - a quilt that shows how womanhood is linked together from birth through old age.

Weight Loss or Other Rewards - worked simliarly to a BOM (block of the month), but done at reached milestones (like losing 5 pounds).  It is set up so that it is inexpensive to get started, then gives you little bits at a time, so there is minimal cost each reward period, and you just do a few blocks at a time.  The end result is a beautiful reversible quilt that reminds you how very successful you were!

Cuddle & Bloom  - instead of a little wiener dog for a broken cast - give a unique little pet for all the friends to sign!
