Around 1975 I took a quilt class through Albany Adult Ed in Berkeley, CA. It was quilt-as-you-go with 6 pieced blocks and 6 quilted ones. I decided to just use the quilted blocks eventually and used colored thread for them as I had come from an embroidery background. Never really used.

This quilt measures 42.5″ x 54.5″. It was hand-quilted using coloring book images as patterns.

For years I made feathered stars whenever my guild had a challenge so now I have a collection of almost 25. This quilt had to use the 2 black and white prints at the bottom of the picture and had to have some beads sewn on.

This quilt measures 28.5″ x 28″. Quilted by myself.

While in college and studying in Copenhagen my son, Bryan, took this picture of himself visiting Ireland. I always loved it so decided to try to make it using Ruth’s [McDowell] method of designing and piecing. It was designed in 2012 but not pieced and quilted until a few years afterward.

This quilt measures 48″ x 38″ and was quilted by myself.
