Baby Dresden - Hand applique and hand quilted. This pattern includes 9 miniature quilts and this is the first one I have done. Hopefully, I'll get to all 9!
My Sheep! - I love to do wool applique for a change of pace. This wool kit was especially nice because the wool was very "lumpy" and made the sheep really puff out from the background.
Warm Squares - This quilt was pieced using charm squares, scraps of fabric from the baby nursery of the recipient's first child, thrifted shirts and new border, backing, and binding fabrics (before I knew not to mix fibers for this types of quilt). It was made for my middle brother's 50th birthday gift.
Oh, To Be A Kid Again - I found these bright and colourful plushy cotton fabrics and just had to do something that let me savour the soft and bright cloth.
Complete padded cloth strips (front and back different colours - sometimes different materials)
Strips are woven together - therefore 6 layers
Warm - soft - bright
took 4 years to complete as i was unable to sew for more than 3 years in between, due to problems with my hands.
Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Quilt - This quilt is made from shirts acquired by the owner, through their membership in the Elk Foundation.
The top is make completely from these shirts, using the logo's and fabric from the body and arms of the shirts, pockets are also used.
Almost Amish - Monkey Wrench - I bought "A Quiet Spirit" and found it very inspirational! I am not really motivated to hand sew in any fashion so adapted the monkey wrench pattern to perhaps unconventional colors and machine quilted the "feathers".
Dancing Thistles - Designed by Rhona Thomson, for Helensburgh Quilters. Background squares have celtic shield hand quilting design, again by Rhona. Workshop for stitch and flip squares taught by Rhona, quilt constructed by Rhona, layered and cooperatively quilted.
