Our Own Quilts
The quilts pictured below were made for our own use or as gifts for family members.
Of course, family quilts get everyone involved: even the webmaster gets his fingers pried off the keyboard from time to time and put to work hand-stitching binding.

A small wall hanging, dyed by pounding flowers from my garden onto prepared fabric and embellished with beads and quilting. This quilt won 2nd prize in wall-hanging category at the 2006 Ravalli County Fair |

A front view of a vest I made for my brother-in-law's 80th birthday. He's a member of the Elks and wanted an Elk vest, so I made one that didn't use the copyrighted Elks emblem. The buttons are elk teeth and the feather meander quilting is intended to make the fabric look like tooled leather. |

The back of Ben's vest, showing the elk applique and commercially embroidered "Montana." The elk design was used by permission from Pat Hastings' Lewis and Clark series of quilt patterns. |
