Gymea Lily - Influnced by artists like Gloria Loughman, who use squares and rectangle in a colour wash to denote landscape. The Gymea Lily is my own design.
St. Patty's Irish Chain - I planned this table runner in EQ7 and used AccuQuilt heart die to create the shamrock to applique. Echo quilting around the shamrock and stitch-in-the-ditch on the single Irish chains and the inner border.
Floral Splendor - Ruffle edges decorated with Baby Lock "wave stitch" and ruffled with cover chain stitch. Ruffles attached with chain stitch to fabric strip. Strips front, back, and batting joined with 4-thread overlock stitch.
Pawprints for Tammy - She's a cancer survivor. Handprints from family, coworkers, customers & her 3 dogs. Some of the people on quilt are also cancer survivors.
Untitled - Susan was my secret sister that year. She put in the Black/White fabrics. I added oranges. Made it right under her nose, she kept saying she liked it. Boy was she surprised when she got it at Christmas party. (& yes, I can't take good pictures)
Nadia's Viva Venezia Wall Quilt - Met Christine Porter last August at a B&B near Birmingham, England. Made this quilt from her book "Viva Venezia" for a friend who grew up near Venice.
Birthday Surprise - Made for Robyn's Birthday. This was my third quilted item/quilt I completed since January 2010. Its my first time I used variety of techniques also on the one item/quilt. The raw edge applique was interesting to do, but I prefer to do turned under applique style. I also think I'm doing blanket stitch wrong. It has a tendency to distort when completed. I think I prefer Tim's double blanket stitch idea!
Ariel's Star - The center is Hunter's Star and is quilted with the 'quick stitch'. The borders are representing my GD's involvement in chorus in school. We used to sing the Barney Song to each other when she was young so I added Barney notes as a memory.
Hot Salsa for Cold Nights - A radiant star medallion quilt with paper pieced corners. The medallion is surrounded by a chain of double four patch blocks.
