HUNTER STAR QUILT I recently completed this Hunter Star quilt using fabrics with an oriental feel. I quilted it using my own version of the "McTavishing" technique. It was intended as a throw quilt to be used during the holiday season, but I like it so much it will probably stay out all year!

CHANUKAH CALENDAR I've done a number of Advent wall hangings over the years for family and friends. This was my first Chanukah hanging. The little "flames" at the bottom of the quilt are used to "light" the candles at the top, marking each day of the Chanukah celebration.

"33 TIES" I refinished this antique rocker and then used some of my husband's old ties to weave the back. Quite colorful! (And, according to my husband, quite comfortable.)
|
"BUILDING BLOCK" BABY QUILT Very colorful design with lots of little "points" for busy fingers. Freehand with lots of stars, moons, trees, etc. Baby's name and date of birth quilted in each of the four borders.

NEEDLEPOINT RUG
The technique I used is Victorian Needlepoint; it is similar to counted cross-stitch. Believe it or not, there are 320,616 stitches (and untold hours) in the rug.
Finished size is 48"X64.5".
