I wanted to make a whole quilt of this but could only get a wall hanging done before I moved on. It did allow me to do some hand quilting something I don't usually do anymore.

Husband's Harley Quilt, My husband loves his Harley and he loves Eagles. I bought this pattern to make it for him. If you look closely there is a major mistake in it. One I did not catch until it was quilted. I called the company the pattern was from and they never called me back. The pattern was wrong. Anyone ever have this happen?, Medallion Project

Christmas in the Forest, I saw this quilt on the cover of a magazine when I was just starting to quilt. I knew I had to make it and it took me forever. I learned many new skills many that I intend to never use again! I hand quilted it also. It used to hang on the wall year round so the colors have faded slightly., Seasonal Project

Jenny's Star Fishes, My sister Jennifer Davis-Ford is my inspiration for this One Block Wonder Quilt. Dizzied by a sea of orange and black fishy kaleidoscopes she schooled me on color placement and encouraged me to follow my passion for quilting. If you look closely you can find fish in many of the blocks. This is my first quilt using the kaleidoscope technique and my first quilt show entry in a show this spring! It is machine pieced and machine quilted. , Special Occasions Project
