my grandmother Sunderman
she is the very lady who
inspired me to quilt
when she passed away I received a "sack" with "stuff"
in it and there was a quilt square in it
(which is now framed in my sewing room)
I looked at the square and said "hey, I can do that"
that's how I started...
I think she would be proud of her
granddaughter
Thanks Grandma

Affairs of the Heart
Aie Rossman pattern
This is all hand applique and
I am in the processof hand quilting it

I am a very
 Obsessive Compulsive Quilter
as you view my Blog
you will see sometimes I make more than one of a quilt pattern
The following pictures are of
French Braid Quilts
I actually made 4 of these quilts
saw my first French Braid at
the Dallas Quilt Show 2008
FELL IN LOVE
our local shops didn't even sell the book,
I hunted and hunted for the fabrics
(you will notice I like to buy fabric as much as I like to quilt) hee hee

I used crystals in the cat eyes
the name of this quilt is
I'M NOT PURRFECT, BUT I'M FINISHED
