Reenie's Centerpiece


This centerpiece was made by my mother, for my sister's mother-in-law. She made it from blue, yellow and white fat quarters purchased at The Quilt Store.

Rose-Colored Quilt

This is a quilt I made for my parents' guest room. The room is a deep rose color. It also has a rose floral wallpaper border hear the ceiling that is not to their taste. The furniture (including full bookcases) is heavy, so emptying the room to remove the border and/or repaint the room is not practical for them. This quilt works with the wall color and (hopefully) draws attention away from the wallpaper border.

I don't know that this is an actual pattern. I just made four patches of pink, rose, orange and yellow fabrics. I set them on point, alternating with the rose background fabric.

Sally's Jungle Quilt


This is a nap quilt I made from some beautiful jungle fabrics my parents bought for me at the Quilt Shop of DeLand (FL). The field is based on the "Turning Twenty" pattern. It took me a couple years to get this made. I use it as a nap quilt.

Kay's Purple Wall Hanging

This is a quilt my mother made from a kit she got at Jo-Ann's Fabrics. She pieced and quilted it. She now displays it in her guest bathroom. It turned out beautiful!

Wallace Baby Quilts



These are two Trip Around the World baby quilts I made for my friends' daughters. One is in shades of pink and the other is in shades of purple. There is also a picture of the pieced back of the purple quilts. (The girls are both in their teens now.)

Jelly Beans & Bubble Gum Baby Quilt



This is yet another joint effort, this time by my mom and me. We pieced this top in one day. The field is pieced from fat quarters. We purchased the fat quarters and yardage for the borders in a quilt store in Jacksonville. We gave this quilt to a friend of my sister's for her new baby.

Ng Baby Quilt




This is another joint effort by Peggy and me. We pieced both the top and back in one evening. I believe the top is the "Turning Twenty" pattern. We gave the quilt to family friends, for their new baby.

Benham's Starburst

This was another joint effort by Peggy and me, although Peggy did the majority of the work. We designed the quilt for my parents. The pieced quilt blocks are all Ohio and Missouri Star variations. They were placed on point, alternating with the turquoise background fabric.

Baby Miller Quilt

This was a joint effort by Peggy and me. I designed an pieced the top. Peggy quilted (including decorative stitching) and bound it. We gave it to Peggy's niece for her new baby.

The field was made up of 4" squares on point.
