Here are a few photos of the beer labels.  You can click on the images and make them bigger.  I truly enjoyed this project and would look forward to doing more if the opportunity came up.  It took me back to my high school years of computer graphic courses.  I used Adobe photoshop and illustrator in which I needed some refreshing for, so I resorted to the google search engine for some tutorials.

This wall hanging was a lot of fun to make.  It was designed and made for Barb and Todd, in celebration of their wedding.  They are avid canoe-ers and Todd enjoys a good day of fishing.  Like many of my wall hangings that I create, this one changed from the original that I had drawn out.  The original one or two salmon at the bottom, turned into a school of salmon.  And thanks to Nick, the quilt managed to, belive it or not, stay more simple.  There was still more I wanted to add in the end with machine quilting, but Nick does a great job consulting and balances my ideas well.  I also made a pattern as I created this one, so I can easily make it again.  Which I think I will.  Maybe next time I will switch in a tandem Kayak (hopefully ours will be finished by then).  It would also be a lot of fun to put in a fly fisherman and some trout.  What I really enjoy about the wall hangings I designed, is that other hobbies can easily be substituted in.  For instance, the Seattle Mt. Biker, can easily be switched out for a road biker, runner, or even a rock climber.   Oh, and perhaps the most impressive thing about this wall hanging, is that it made it onto the gift table at the wedding... no one or three years late. 

This cross country ski wall hanging was made for Nick's parents.  I think it was my first wall hanging I designed and made.  The large dog is representative of their big old Golden Retriever, Schoomer and the small one, Holly, at the time a Golden Retriever puppy.  I think I made it and we gave it to them for the Christmas of 08'. 

We are famous for giving our wedding gifts late.  These two quilts are no exception.  Charlie's and Amandas was almost 3 years late.  Trevor and Liz's was a little better, with being just shy of a year. 

 I designed and made this quilt last fall.  It was inspired by our mountain biking activities around the sound.  Nick's dad thought it was very symbolic of Nick commuting to work on his bike, and me commuting to the UofW via ferry.  The city in the background was quilted with metalic thread.  If you look closely at the mountain biker, I did some details such as a helmet, clothes, and a camelback.  In the future I hope to make other landscape quilts of road biking, kayaking, and maybe a running one with Luna... who knows.
