Hibiscus and Monstera table runner

This is a gift to my friend Bonnie Moon. I designed this table runner. The Monstera are needle turn appliqued and the Hibiscus and Plumeria are fusible applique with thread painting. I echo quilted around the design with Glide polyester thread.

Christmas Stars Quilt

This quilt was made over several years, making a block or two each December after Christmas presents were finished and then put away for another year. After participating in our EQ design group, I decided to put the blocks together on point and designed sashing with asymetrical stars. The candy strip border was fun to add interest at the sides. I quilted Christmas trees in the green border, but they blended too much with the background and I went back over with a metallic thread. This quilt is enjoying the holidays in our room!
