Fractured Chrysanthemums - This is an amazingly easy and effective technique! It's sort of a combination of bargello and Ricky's convergence technique, and the result is rather impressionistic.
Mya's Diamond Rainbow - Was cutting scraps into 4" squares when I decided to do my Great Niece, Mya a quilt. Was originally going for scrappy pinwheels but got playing at the design wall and created this. Loved the rainbow effect. Machine quilted with loop de loos. Notice the rebel block in the bottom right corner. That's my block to prove only God can make something perfect.
Fiesta Beauty - This was my first paper pieced quilt -- at least that I actually finished. Only the spiked areas are paper pieced. I used all fabrics from my stash. I have lots of bright colors and I thought it turned out to look more like a Mexican fiesta than Hawaii (which the designer envisioned).
Missed Perception - This quilt was made to have a little fun with myself. I’ve had to stop dyeing my hair this year and wasn’t quite ready for the change. While it may not be quite as dramatic as my depiction this is how it feels to me. Making this quilt gave me a chance to laugh at myself. The image of myself in the mirror is from a photo taken in the eighties with the big hair and shoulder pads. The hair has wool roving stitched with about five different threads. The jacket was made with my embellisher.
Donna's Notes - I made this quilt for a black & white challenge for the Arapahoe County Quilters. The quilt is 24" X 24". The quilt is dedicated to a friend who recently passed away and worked with me at Great American Quilt Factory.
Traven's Quilt - This quilt was made with a panel -- that is where I got the puppies. I decided because of the primary colors in the quilt to make triangles and pinwheels to go around the blocks from the panel. I think it turned out very well. I don't know what condition the quilt is in now -- as I haven't seen it for some time -- and little boys do manage to "drag them around" alot. I really enjoyed making this as a baby gift for a dear friend. The size is approximate, since I didn't measure it and write down the size before I gave the gift.
Legend of the White Stag - The 'Legend of the White Stag' which carries the souls of the dead from this land to Tir Na Nog - the Land of the Ever Young - is well known in Celtic countries. The fabric is hand painted, stenciled, and machine pieced and quilted.
"A Year in Wool" - This is quilt is wool applique on cotton. It is an original, designed as a Block of the Month project. Patterns are available through BackNineDesigns.com
Name of Maker: Sharon Morton and Mary Elizabeth McBee
McBee Family Album - One Christmas I was given a bunch of Ocean Waves blocks that my great grandmother had made in the 30's. (she passed away before I was born) Iused these blocks, along with photos of the family to make this quilt and others for family members. Mary Elizabeth is holding a plate of cookies?, chicken? in the upper left photo.
Sewing Room Door Banner - This was made as a demo piece in a class I was teaching on memorabilia quilts. I used pieces left from finished quilts, linens, needlework and new fabric, and embellished with many buttons, pins, laces, etc.
