or quilts made with our patterns.
Hats, Hats, Hats        A foundation paper-pieced centre can also be
used with focus fabric.  
The toile sample below was
my proto-type. Subsequent
changes and adjustments
resulted in the pattern at

Swing Your Partner - our queen size pattern sewn with print fabric.
This Sampler Quilt was made for a
Christmas Exchange.  Blocks were made
by Daphne, Ellen, Melody, Tara, Sharon,

appliqued poppy in the centre.  This queen size quilt showcases our gradations.
This "Nine Patch On Point" uses our hand dyes and the
portion of the colourwheel with turquoise in every mix of
dye.  It is sewn with solid black purchased fabric.  

Quilting with rayon variagated thread adds the sparkle.

Kathy made it for a donation to "
Patches of Hope" - the quilt

Kathy dyed a custom order for a bargello quilt

and border.
