I received a panel of quilt ladies fabric from a friend and incorporated it into this design as a large lap quilt for myself.  I designed, made and quilted it myself.

I have designed this quilt in november 2006 in EQ5, and I send this design and the finished quilt in for the European Quilt Championships in 2007. (it did not win, but it was nice to participate) This quilt started with the idea in EQ5 and I love the Kaffe fasset fabrics, so that's what I used. The name is : 'Memories of a bright summer. The blocks are hand applique, and the quilt is also hand quilted.

I love EQ! The quilt was created as a special Thanksgiving project for members of our online quilting group, The Quilting Post. I changed my turkey's tail a bit when I made my version, splitting his tail feathers into twice as many sections to add more color.

This is my version of a signature quilt with the signatures and drawings by guests at the wedding reception for Mike Franic and Cheryl Turgeon (my daughter), July 2005. Originally drafted in EQ5, the photo insert is much improved in EQ6 and the EQ Printables image is excellent. It hangs in their hall stairway. How many folk have looked at their Guest Book every day and been reminded of their many friends and relatives?

The quilt "Our street with Photos" is actually a farewell gift for our British neighbours in a small German village who decided to come back forever to Great Britain. The people next door gave me their photos or I have to take some, especially of two old ladies (they have even made their face up!) as well as of kids and animals! I have made several EQ5 projects of "our houses and sites" and then I had to sew the simplest one from my stash in three weeks almost alone with a little organizational help... It was a great good bye party with many tears of joy! Paper piecing, machine quilting in stitch, appliqué, embellishment; houses and trees are either from EQ library or from me - adapted according to sizes of as sharply as possible defined pictures.

This is a quilt I made for a dear friend, as a gift for her new home. The design was adapted from a quilt in American Patchwork and Quilting magazine, June 2006 by Cherie Ralston and Karla Menaugh. I reduced the size of the blocks and changed the border, as well as some other small changes. I hand appliquéd and hand quilted the quilt myself. The piecing is by machine.

The quilt pictured is a small version (22-1/2" x 26-1/2") of the original quilt which is 74" x 88". Most people think this quilt is really hard but it is really only made with half-square triangles and squares and then tilted. I have had quite a few classes in it and the ladies were surprised at how simple it really was to put together. I have a website that I am still working on. It is up and running I just need to update the patterns page and a few other things. I have quite a few more original quilts that I have made using EQ5 and EQ6.

I originally designed it to fit on Mom's dining room table, kind of like a round tablerunner, as a surprise birthday gift. She lives in California, I live in Virginia. I had my sister take a picture of the dining room so that I could see her color scheme du jour. I auditioned several colorways in EQ6 and settled on this one. Good thing I put a hanging sleeve on it just in case, Mom hung it on the wall.

This was my first round design. I had some difficulty keeping the "doughnut" positioned so that the background square was completely covered and centered. Thank goodness for the layer lightbulbs.

This is the quilt that Amador Valley Quilters will market in order to raise money for the guild. We use it primarily to buy materials to make and give away over 500 quilts a year to local shelters We sell tickets to other guilds and at local quilt shows, such as Pacific International Quilt Festival in Menlo Park. The appliqué on the borders is based on patterns from Gwen Marston and Pat Campbell (who also gave permission to me to use them).

This quilt was featured in the Quilters Newsletter April/May 2009 issue. It was designed in EQ and uses foundation pieced flower blocks that eventually led to the Kaleidoscope Collection CD by Andrea Bishop. The pattern in Margaret Okuley's very capable quilting hands bloomed before our eyes. Her keen color-sense and love for scrappy quilts, led to this masterpiece.
