Seven Cranes for Japan
Name of Maker: Anne Brennan
Seven Cranes for Japan - After the tsunami, I wanted to do something to express my sympathy for the people of Japan. Since it's good luck to make one thousand origami cranes, I decided to make cranes. (But not one thousand!) Margaret Rolfe's pattern was available only in Australia, and when I ordered it, I couldn't wait for it to arrive in Canada. So in the meantime I traced a picture of one of the blocks and made my own foundation pattern. As a result, my cranes are facing the opposite direction from Margaret's. I'm sure the positive energy I stitched into them reached Japan anyhow!
Rainy Day - San Francisco, October 25, 2010
Name of Maker: Sally Gould Wright
Rainy Day - San Francisco, October 25, 2010 - The strength and durability of its architecture spanning over the waterfront on a gray and rainy day last October inspired me to take a cell phone photograph just as we exited after our own trip on the bridge across the Bay. To translate that photo into a quilt several shades of hand dyed gray cotton were raw edge appliquéd on a gradient printed ground. Textile paint, fabric markers, computer printed graphics and free motion quilting were used to translate the photo into a pictorial quilt which I hope captures the essential grandeur of the San Francisco Bay Bridge.

Three Bean Salad
Name of Maker: bystrauss
Three Bean Salad - This is my 3rd quilt but my first quilt using my new Bernina 830. I love this machine!! I have pretty well mastered the embroidery attachment and used the jumbo hoop to quilt the top but I'd love it if Bernina could make a BIGGER hoop...:) I have been saving up for the quilt frame but the embroidery attachment does such a nice job I'm in no hurry. For my first attempt at this, I am very very happy and so is my daughter because she get this quilt...:) I want to mention this was a kit that came from Willow Creek Quiliting & gifts in Kalona, Iowa. If you ever get a chance to go there, they have a very large selection and their kits are beautiful!!! I just wish I could order their kits online.

StarLeo - I did the Quiltsmart small lone star with bear and other brown and green fabrics for our second California grandchild Leo.
