Vibeke's Quilt

The first quilt I made was a log cabin quilt. Vibeke - my sister - helped me pick out the fabrics, so I made her this quilt with the left overs and a couple of additional fabrics. This quilt was pieced and quilted entirely by hand.

Baby Quilts

I have made so many baby quilts over time that I cannot count them. I made these two in 1996 for Dean, son of my friend Lori from law school, and for Annie, daughter of my friends Aggie and Tim.

Trip Around the World

In early 1995, I had a serious health problem necessitating brain surgery and two weeks in the hospital. When I got home, needless to say I had very little energy and little or no creative brain power. Fortunately, I had designed this quilt and cut the fabrics for it before I got sick. I seriously doubt I would have been able to do it after the surgery - at least not for many months. But I spent much of my time at home recuperating hand piecing - square by square - and subsequently hand quilting this quilt. I used the quilt for a several years on our guest bed, but then gave it to Pat and Maggie when they got married in 1999. They had both told me how much they liked it, so I decided it would be OK to give it to them, even though it was used.
