Artist Statement

I made this bear with the leftover fabrics from when I made a memory quilt from my brothers shirts. It is a constant reminder in my sewing studio that Marc is watching over me.

Artist Statement

I choose to make this trench coat for my 20th Anniversary Guild Challenge. I have incorporated 20 buttons into this trench coat. Mom gave me a bunch of these upholstery samples already cut in rectangles so I decided to make a disappearing 9 patch for the fabric. I made a large quilt top quilted it then cut out the pattern pieces.

Artist Statement

Lazy Sunday was my first mystery quilt. Eight of our guild members took part in doing this project. Only two finished. We all chose our own colours. The border became the hardest challenge for all, as matching the points on the diamonds was very time consuming. I persevered, but probably would not make another. Some members put a plain border on their project.
