Hummingbird


 We have a lot of hummingbirds coming to our feeder. This little Rufus perched on the columbine and stayed still long enough for me to get a photo.

Celtic


 I finished this quilt that had been sitting around for a few years. It was a round robin (but I took off a couple of layers to make it smaller.

Autumn



                           You know it's Fall when the spiders start building a lot of webs!!
 

And then the apples ripen


So I can make lots of apple pies.

Crystal Blue


 The name of this quilt is Crystal Blue. I finished it in August after having pieced it several years ago mainly because I began quilting it with a long arm but the back got all tangled and I had to take out all the stitches. Finally quilted it with my regular machine. The quilting is free motion feathers.

Baltimore Memories

 This quilt top was finished 6 years ago but it took me until now to decide how to quilt it and actually sew.

When I lived near Baltimore, in Columbia, Maryland, I wanted to do a Baltimore album quilt but never found a pattern that I liked. After I moved to Oregon, I decided that I wanted to make it with birds and flowers that reminded me of my time in Columbia. i found a few patterns in books and others I designed myself.

Narure's bounty

Blackberries in season. So I made blackberry brandy.

Pears almost rip, too.
