The first quilt I did over a period of years.  I would quilt each summer in August.  I was too busy teaching art during the school year.  I collected different christmas fabrics each year for it, so it has a star design but has many different reds and greens.  I entered it in the Christmas Holiday Faire they used to have at the Fair Grounds here in San Jose.  It won best of show and was show in a display with other Christmas crafts around it in a livingroom type setting rather than on the walls like the other quilts.  I gave it to my sister as a wedding gift for her and her husband Mark.  I believe I finished it around 1991.
I then explored worked on a charm quilt which supposedly would have a thousand different fabrics.  I titled mine "A Charm for Amber" and it has fabrics from clothes I made throughout her childhood for her, plus from clothing I made myself over the years and even some of Rob's early shirts.  It is entirely hand pieced and hand quilted.  I showed it at an art show at William Fredlund's Institute for the Making of the Western Mind" with many other fabric artists.  It now hangs in our livingroom waiting to be given to Amber and her family.







The next series was with the log cabin pattern and are also all hand quilted and hand pieced and done around 2010 when I retired.  I did two large ones and then many that had just 4 squares and were 2 1/2 feet square.  I also did a few paintings at that time.  Many hang in the closet of my office plus a half dozen huge canvas' that Rob and I made at the time.  I need more room for painting.
