This is where I share my photos of the quilts that I have made. Many of the quilts are inspired by my travels. Others are my version of someone else’s patters. 

A Reversible, Free Scrub Cap Pattern With Easy Instructions

Use this easy, free scrub cap pattern and tutorial to make a reversible surgical cap that is both functional and stylish for your favorite health care workers.

My daughter-in-law is a nurse at a large city hospital, and she asked me to make her a few surgical scrub caps for work. I tried the patterns I found on-line and eventually combined elements till I came up with a scrub cap pattern design that she liked and fitted her long hair well.

I am sharing this free, printable scrub cap pattern and tutorial with detailed instructions for making a reversible scrub hat or scrub cap.

“Cascade” – A Bargello Quilt Design

This was the second quilt I ever attempted – and finished. I called it “Cascade” because the design reminded me of a small waterfall. I thought that my Rogue River rafting trip, with all of the rapids and small waterfalls, was an appropriate spot to photograph it.

Thanks for visiting.

“Under the Midnight Sun” – Original Quilt Design

Many of the quilt designs that I make are inspired by my travel destinations. In this case, the quilt came first, but I really was not sure what to do with it. Then, when I had plans to go to Fairbanks, Alaska, for the midnight sun season, I knew this was the perfect quilt to take along. Continue reading ““Under the Midnight Sun” – Original Quilt Design”

“Remembering Venice” – Original Quilt Design

Quilt Inspiration – I made this quilt to commemorate our 30th wedding anniversary trip to Venice.  Blue and red seem to be the traditional colors of Venice – gondoliers wear blue-and-white or red-and-white striped shirts. The traditional carnival masks tend to use red or blue diamond patterns, so I knew those would be the predominant colors in the quilt.

“Burano Sampler” Quilt – An Original Quilt Design

Quilt Inspiration – This Burano Sampler quilt was inspired by the many colorful houses on the island of Burano in the Venetian Lagoon. Each of the houses on Burano is painted a different bright shade, so that as you are walking through the town, it feels like you are in the middle of a big box of crayons.

“Step Into My Garden” – A Perfectly Imperfect Watercolor Quilt Design

This was one of the first quilts I started, and many years later, once the kids were off to college and I had more time, it was also one of the first quilts I finally finished. It also taught me that there can still be beauty in imperfection, even if the mistake is huge.

‘This Is Africa” – Original Quilt Design

Quilt Inspiration – I found this original African fabric panel at a quilt show and knew I would need to use it in my African inspired quilt as a colorful reminder of my first trip to Africa. On that first trip, I only took the quilt top to photograph due to space and luggage weight limitations. On that Africa trip I also bought a batik panel at one of the road side vendors which I used on the back of the quilt. By the time I went back to Africa on my most recent trip, the quilt was finished and I took it back with me so I could photograph it complete on location.
