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.

"Hopi Basket," a full-sized quilt made for my sister's 50th wedding anniversary. Southwestern theme figures are quilted into the background. The overall theme is a loose stipple, with cross-hatching in the border contrast pieces and quarter-inching in the basket wedges. This is a great pattern we picked up on a trip to Arizona. It was fun and easy to make. The basket was pieced separately and appliqued to the background, which was then cut away under the basket to remove bulk. This quilt won the First Place Viewer's Choice award in the machine-pieced, machine-quilted category at the 2003 Bitterroot Quilt Guild's biennial quilt show, 19-20 July, 2003. |

"Heart to Heart," a wall hanging about 28 inches square, made for my niece. This pattern is from a kit made for a Montana Public Radio premium in the 2002 fund-raising campaign. I decided to try it in my own choice of fabric colors. The quilting is mostly stippling with ribbons running between the hearts. |
