As always, Barbara quilts amazingly well! This was a Mommy and Me order for a mom taking her 6-year old child to the hospital for brain surgery. Barbara completed the quilts a week before the surgery date!! How amazing! Will continue to purchase from Barbara.

Absolutely stunning, this made to order quilt is exactly what was needed for my brother, who turns 60 soon. The colors of the quilt and backing represent his life with symbolic meaning. This quilt was ordered and completed in about two weeks!! How amazing!! This is the third made to order quilt I have purchased from Murphy's House. I will continue to return to this shop.

If I had the money, I would purchase the other quilt in a larger size to match this one! Excellent work and beautiful results! Thank you for sharing your talents!

I love autumn and the fall colors. I designed this quilt to display that love.
A feathered star table runner which can be hung as an art quilt or beautifully dresses your Christmas table.
Iris is one of my favorite flowers so what can be better than a field of Iris.
I love the jewel tone colors in gorgeous batik quilt.
Must have poinsettias for Christmas.

Loves to design and sew both quilts and clothing.

I am a retiree who finally has time to do the things I truly love. Sewing has always been a love of mine. I first started when I was five and my aunt taught me to embroider. Then thanks to a home economics teacher, I learned how to make clothes and for years made all my clothes and my daughters. In 1976 my sister and I took a class in quilting and immediately fell in love with it.

I believe that quilts give a home warmth and the colors and fabrics used in a quilt often display the personality of the person who owns it.

I love designing quilts of all types, e.g. art quilts, table runners, baby quilts, lap quilts, and bed quilts. When I create an item for my store, I try to make it unique as well as colorful. I strive to make each one a special treasure for the buyer.

I use Electric Quilt 7 to help with the design of my quilts which I produce using a Husqvarna Viking Designer 1 (embroidery machine) and Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 870 quilt machine.

I welcome custom orders.
