Red, Green, Black - I cut varying widths of red and green strips, sewed them into blocks, then cut diagonally. Sorted them, mixed them up, re-assembled them.
Children and Goldfish - I decided to fuzzy cut the drunkard's path with children from the fabric. Placement of these children determined the design. With the additional of an accent fabric also enhanced the design.
I like dimension on my quilts, so the goldfish was added was supperimposed over goldfish on the fabric. Beads were also added for dimension.
Auntie Una's - My younger sister had just died of breast cancer when I was asked to make this quilt. Unbeknown to me, after purchasing the fabric I realised the Breast Cancer pink ribbon symbol was detailed throughout the pattern. Working on this quilt was very theorputic and challenging.
Railroad Crossing - I just had to play with this wonderful bali-like fabric that I found. Its just amazing what can be done with just 1 yard of print fabric and a good strong solid.
Inspired by Libby - Inspired by the demonstration Libby Lehman gave on TQS of using the circle attachment.
I used my hand dyed fabrics and added some triangles too.
Gilded Maple Leaf - This wall hanging was made from scraps from a friend's quilt. I practiced machine quilting with gold metallic thread at his suggestion. It makes the quilt!
Leave Me Alone and Let Me Quilt - I love leaves. This quilt is made of leaf fabric. My dogs were bothering me the whole time I worked on it, so that's how it got it's name.
Night and Day Log Cabin - My mini group decided to do a group project. Each person used the same fabric, but made 12 blocks to exchange. I decided to do the log cabin, and liked the block so much I made enough extra for a quilt for myself.
Alesha - This quilt was made to welcome an 8-year-old girl to our family. She had been fostered by my brother- and sister-in-law for two years, but her adoption by them was just final in November. I thought she deserved a quilt with her new initials on it.
Red, white & blues - I wanted to use up my red, white and blue fabrics in a quilt. This is a variation of a rail fence because not all the strips were cut the same size.
white love - A basic but lovely Irish Chain quilt with pastel coloured blocks. My first and only attempt at hand quilting. Happy with the result though.
