Tranquil (42" x 49", 107 x 125 cm) -- For my guild's crayon challenge (I got purple), I made a version of Sujata Shah's quilt "Winter," from her book Cultural Fusion Quilts. My colour scheme was inspired by our lilac bush.

2014

Highlands Houses (19" x 19", 48 x 48 cm) -- Inspired by a quilt on the Sweet P blog, I started with an old plaid shirt, made my own paper piecing foundations, took a few wrong turns, and ended up with this little wall quilt.
