This is my symetrical quilt.  Everywhere a dove ends one begins.  I made this for my son.

This one reminds me of a flower garden.  One of my favorite pastimes.

This is a colorful bear claw pattern that has angels with brooms.  This is my embroidered quilt.  The smaller flowers are actually embroidered on blocks and sew into the quilt.

I just had to make something different.  I call this the “Curly Q” quilt.

This quilt reminds me of a church window with stained glass.

This is a very colorful storybook quilt a child can lay on and read.

This pattern is “Mill Girls.”

This is the kaleidoscope. You can see the pattern of circles.

This is a “Jack In the Box.”  An older quilt pattern.

I call this Cleopatra’s Diamonds.

Another Passion of Mine:  A Few of the Dolls I Collect:

I am making an embroidered and beaded family tree for one of my daughters.   I have three daughters and one deceased son.  He passed October 2008 at the age of 31, and is sorely missed.  This picture is not that good, but it gives you an idea of some of my handiwork.

My Newest Hobby – I’ve Become A “Hooker Mom” – Dishcloths I’ve Made:

The yellow dishcloth is just a  stitch pattern that                                        developed into a cloth.

This aqua butterfly pattern is by Knits by Rachel.

Betty Boop is holding my xoxo dishcloth.  The pattern is by Knits by Rachel.

There is a border of x’s and o’s.  I used Susan Bates size 7 Quicksilver knitting needle set and Peachs ‘n Creme yarn.

This is the Valentine Dishcloth you can find at Knits By Rachel.

In this dishcloth there is a pattern of two small hearts on top and bottom section and a larger heart in the middle.  I used the Sugar ‘n Cream 100% Cotton Stripes and a size 7 Susan Bates QuickSilver one point knitting needle set.

This is a Stockinette Triangle Dishcloth and is fast becoming my favorite pattern.  I knitted with Susan Bates QuickSilver size 10 needle set and used Lily Stripes, 100% cotton.

This pattern is a Knits by Rachel “Candy Cane Hearts.”  You can’t see the detail in this photo, but there are two candy canes that tilt and make a heart shape in the center of the dishcloth.  I used Bernat Handicrafter “Holidays Prints” yarn and Susan Bates Quicksilver size 7 knitting needle set.  It is very beautiful and soft.

Another Stockinette Triangle Dishcloth!  I used Peaches & Creme, Color  Fiesta.  This company has many colors available and can be found at WalMart and Hobby Lobby Stores as well as on the internet, and is available in cones or skeins.  Also, used in knitting the pattern was a size 10 aluminum knitting needle set.
