For the Dance Teacher

My grandaughter Mackenzi has been in dance since she was probably 3 or 4 and she's almost 8 now. She seems to really enjoy it and does a great job. Her dance teacher is having a baby girl in July and this was made for them. I found the panel on E-bay and added the small border and pinwheels. I used Hobbs 100% cotton batting, Wonderfil variegated thread and a sunflower panto.

Dusty Miller Pantograph by Patricia Ritter

This is my latest customer quilt. It was done with a panto called "Dusty Miller", Wonderfil variegated baby blue thread and Warm & Natural batting.

The Monster - aka "Buddy"

This is our wonderful almost 3 year old lab/cocker cross Buddy. He is our joy even though the house is always full of dog hair, (he's not allowed in my studio, however). He is so loveable and fairly well behaved - except that is, when someone comes in the door. He then gets very excited and of course wants to jump up and say "Hi!" We're working on him just shaking hands and not jumping up.

Duck Duck Goose

I picked up this cute panel in Scottsdale and it's been sitting around for a year or so. I depleted my inventory of baby quilts and thought I'd better get going and make up a few to have in stock. Out of one panel which I cut up and by adding some additional blocks I'll be able to get 2 quilts.

I used a panto which wasn't really appropriate but I just got it and wanted to try it out. It's called Aloha but I'm not sure who made it. It was real easy and I love the way it turned out although you can't see it on the front the back looks good.

PaperPieced Table Runner

I finally finished paper piecing this table runner. I originally made it for my kitchen table but am feeling it may be a bit large - not sure yet. I also used mostly scraps from my scrap bin which is always rewarding.

This is another customer quilt on which I used a panto called "Which Way Did They Go" by Judy Allan.
