I Got You Roses. Happy Valentine's Day!


Roses are Red is my tribute to Valentine's Day. Of course being a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, any excuse to make a red and white quilt has to be utilized. In fact, I plan to write a book featuring red and white quilts.

The flowers in the border of Roses are Red are appliqued by hand and embellished with buttons. The quilt measures 74 x 94 inches and is part of my personal collection.

Queen of Nobody waits for Mr. Right.


We all go through down periods where love is concerned. I made Queen of Nobody during such a period. The queen in this quilt is decidedly blue, but a queen nonetheless.


She reminds me not to compromise. Once a queen, always a queen.

Through the Bonds of Delta - My Tribute to My Sorority

I recently attended the annual Delta Sigma Theta Metro Atlanta Founders Day celebration. I can't believe it's been so many years since I became a member of the Lambda Theta Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta at the Univeristy of Arkansas in 1974!

Through the Bonds of Delta is my first Delta quilt. The pattern is a double Irish chain, and it plays into the name of the quilt. It was finished in 2001 and remains part of my personal collection. It measures 73 x 88 inches.
