This is a quilt made of Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I bought the material at The Wooden Gate quilt shop in Danville, CA as a kit several years ago. I have been friends with Lynne Morrison since our grown children were in pre-school. It was a good experience for learning to work with these bright and beautiful fabrics. I already have another one in the planning stages.
This is a quilt I made for my good friend Dale Boercker. I created two block patterns and combined them. I used the border print as my starting point for fabric choices. I was trying to get a translucent effect with the shading.
This starry pattern quilt is made from fabrics I got at the Amana Colonies in Iowa in August, 2010. I began it at a class at Back Parch Fabrics in Pacific Grove, CA in November, 2010. It is a gift for my good friend Eileen Contento.
This is a lap quilt that I made for the woman who facilitates my weight-loss group. She loves horses, and I wanted to make something that would show my appreciation for her hard and work and for her personal interests. This is what I call a "cheater" quilt, because I start with printed panels that I connect with sashing and then quilt to highlight the pictures.

This is a baby quilt I just finished that has a Winnie the Pooh theme and is for a friend's new granddaughter.
I've just retired from teaching English composition at CSU East Bay, Hayward, CA. I have been a quilter on and off for more than 20 years. I hope to share my quilting on this site.
