The first picture in the slide show pictures Bette next to her Gammill Longarm Statler Stitcher. The quilt is an original ti leaf quilt (patterned and appliqued) by Linda Morlan of Oregon and machine quilted and bound by Bette Houff of Tennessee.  This quilt was specially made for Pacific Health Ministry's 20th Year Anniversary Celebration and presented to them on November 9th in Honolulu, HI.

The rest of the pictures shows the professional quality in Bette's work. They have all been finished by Bette.
