Faux Log Cabin - My goal was to make a quilt without buying any fabric as my stash was quickly growing. This was also my first attempt at stippling on my new Bernina.
Completely Dotty - I was never interested in making a quilt with curved piecing until I saw this pattern. Once I started I wondered why I shied away from curves for so long. This is a fun pattern to make. It is from Piece O' Cake Designs and Becky Goldsmith had made it for her niece. It hangs in my family room and everyone remarks on it and loves it.
Butterflies and Sashiko - I love doing both sashiko and applique. I often visit Sylvia Pippen's web site to see her new designs. This one
truly caught my eye. It was one of her kits and the marbled fabrics by Marjorie Lee Bevis are so beautiful and amazing. This small wall hanging hangs in our family room.
Lady by the Sea - This is 30" square quilted wall hanging. This is a hand painted batik is painted by Puteri Noor (on March 30, 2011). She named it "Lady by the Sea" This is machine quilted and bordered with a beautiful turquoise cotton and a string of turquoise crystals.
Happy Christmas to All - This is the sample quilt of a Jelly Roll Race class I taught at a local sewing machine store, Upland Vac & Sew. Once the race was over, Santa, the moon, stars, and the last line of T'was the Night Before Christmas" was machine appliqued. On my computer, I found the patterns for the applique from a Free Clipart site.
Katie's Quilt - My granddaughter wanted a "horizontal" quilt for her bed. I made up every row as I went along. Her bed is queen size so I finally started repeating some rows. The size and coming out even on each end was tricky.
Katie loves her quilt.
Jane's Block - Paper piecing is great fun. I have taken two workshops from Carol Doak through my guild and she is just
wonderful. In her book she names all the blocks after women she knows and when I saw Jane's block of
course I had to make myself a quilt.
Autumn Leaves - This is the result of a class on foundation piecing done at my local quilt shop. Autumn leaves appliqued on with free motion detailing.
My Water Lilies - Done in a class to learn bargello. The water lilies are my design and done in raw edge fusible applique. The free motion quilting was done on my Bernina.
Naughty Puss - I made this little quilt for my guild show challenge. The challenge title was "Everything is Coming Up Roses".
The challenge quilt had to include some type of rose or roses. I adapted the pattern by using Joan Shay's
method of making 3-D roses. Two roses in the vase and one in the puss' mouth. It won a second place in the
Rose Challenge.
Memories of Home - Original design of raw edge fusible applique on hand painted background and quilted on my Bernina. Second prize winner at "A Garden of Quilts" show, Millville, NJ. in 2010.
Susans in My Garden - Design for this quilt started with a photo of black-eyed-susans in my garden and a quilt art exploration class at my local quilt shop using Katie Pasquini Masopust's techniques.
Grandmother's flower quilt - This is the first quilt I ever made almost 20 years ago. Back then I used traditional pieces of cardboard (cut from old cereal boxes), it's not perfect but I still love it!
