Peony (approx.
18 x 22") Wall hanging completed Dec. 2006 for my parents' belated wedding anniversary present. Free-motion raw-edge applique image of one of the spring tree peonies that bloom in their yard in Virginia. I hand-painted the fabric with Pebeo Setacolor paints. |

Quilt in progress for the past year or
more - I have been hand-piecing diamonds using the
English paper-piecing method (despite the fact that I
swore I would never do this again after making my sister's
quilt shown below). This is my portable project. I finally finished piecing the top on Dec. 31, 2006 while watching the Packer game at a New Year's Eve party. Now I have to decide whether I'm putting a border on. Then I have to baste it in time to start handquilting at the next Daytona 500 party in Feb. 2007. |
