I have been quilting since 1999 and have decided to keep an online journal of my quilts. In this way, I can document their history and preserve their memory for my family and future generations. Most of my quilts are made as gifts; and with few exceptions, I have taken pictures of my quilts with their recipient. I have also made many charity quilts for Project Linus, Wrapped in Hope and Quilts for Kids.

Please join me for my quilt parade!

My Quilt #90 ~ My Pineapple Quilt 2005

This quilt was truly a labor of love!  I started this quilt about 1999-2000 when I took a class with Beverly Packard sponsored by the Valley of the Mist quilting guild in Temecula CA.  Beverly created a unique construction method for this traditional favorite, which uses templates and muslin foundations.

I wasn’t able to finish the quilt in class so I took it home unfinished and put it away.  I avoided finishing the quilt because it seemed so overwhelming.  But in 2005 I made up my mind to complete the quilt … 6 years later!  I LOVE this quilt and I am very proud of it!


This pattern was published in Quilting Today, Issue No. 67, 12/9/96.  It is no longer in print but I am fortunate to have my own copy.
