Another Attic Window - Inspired by the fabric to make this quilt. Machine pieced and machine quilted I had this fabric for almost 5 years before I could bring myself to cut it up! I thought I wouldn't do it justice, but I do like the way it turned out.
Name of Maker: Barbara Marovitz & Jeannette Hansen
Colorado Dreamin' - This is an applique landscape medallion with a variety of pieced borders and an upper applique border featuring 3-D columbine. The machine quilting is also columbine inspired.
Factured Honeysuckles - Based on my photo of wild honeysuckle growing along the fence. From my sketch I drew an original pattern. The honeysuckle fragrance reminds me of my childhood on the farm and I was always intrigued by the nectar in the blossoms.
Name of Maker: Renee Fleuranges-Valdes aka: Ranunculas
Sizzling Salsa - This quilt was born to challenge my design and quilting skills. It sat for 15 months between top completion to quilting, waiting for quilting design inspiration. I totally enjoyed adding the trapunto and quilting this piece!
Flaming Dragon Star - Quilt result of a workshop with Judy Niemeyer. Used Kaffe Fassett fabric which made it very bold. Machine quilted on my home machine.
Double Star Duo -- Remembering Napa - Grape theme print purchased at the Quiltmaker, in Napa, CA, while shopping with cousin Barbara Sizelove. Green fabrics won at a drawing at the Reno-Sparks Newcomers Quilt Guild in April 2010.
Gaggle of Geese - Saw Nancy Odom do this one on Simply Quilts and copied it the best I could. The block is not what you think it is. The flying geese are actually sashing.
All Stacked and Whacked - Using Japanese fabrics and Moda Spraytime, this quilt is machine pieced and quilted, using the embroidery module of my Bernina Artista 630. The quilting designs are adaptations of the Holice turnbow designs which are in the Bernina software.
Butterfly Boutique - This is a two-fabric applique quilt done in the Hawaiian style. Great traveling project. This quilt used a very colorful commercially dyed batik.
Italian Memories - I adapted blocks designed by Myrna Raglin and designed my own setting and borders. The colors represent the Pennsylvania Amish, and the quilt is embellished by gold embroidery.
Carol's Wedding - This design was inspired by a stained glass window at a church in Florida. Sadly, I paid more attention to the window than to the ceremony. The quilt is hand-appliqued with hand-made bias and hand quilted.
Tammy's Flagstaff - The center of this quilt is a hand-painted picture a friend purchased at a craft fair and sent me as a gift. I added borders and quilted with metallic leaves. The quilt was returned to the friend at the time of her father's funeral.
Product of Gloria Loughman's Layer by Layer class - This quilt is similar to a pattern by Gloria Loughman. I took her class at the MidAtlantic Quilt Fest 2010. It was an amazing class I still can't believe the end result. I had so much fun making this quilt.
