9:15, Reflections on Lo Shu - This quilt tells the story of the Lo Shu turtle, a nine-grid Chinese good luck symbol dating back to 2800 BC. The shape suggests the turtle’s shell, the quilting reflects the circular dots on his shell. There is a special significance to the position of the numbers. Can you find it?
Star Spangled Blanket! - Patriotic colors in an old fashioned scrappy design. Small pin wheels appliqued in centers of light stars. Quilted on my new Handi-Quilter SD Sweet Sixteen.
Indian Harvest Runner - This quilt on the cover of the Oct. 2010 Quilters World caught my eye. On vacation in Sep.'10 I purchased the batik fabrics. I worked on the quilt top while recuperating from total knee replacement surgery in March/April 2011. The quilting was completed in Nov. 2011 just in time for Thanksgiving!
Tropical Crush - I bought Kaffe Fassett's book Quilts in the Sun to make Tropical Frothy, but for some unknown reason I decided to put the blocks together in rows, rather than diamond shapes, which changed the whole look of the quilt, but I still like it.
Purple Strippy - I gave this quilt to my sister-in-law Pauline, for her 60th birthday. This was a free pattern from the internet at www.equilters.com by someone called Susan. I used recycled sheets of A4 paper as foundation paper. The quilt went together really fast, and turned out rather nice.
Shadow Ts - This little quilt was the result of a design workshop given by Pat Margaret an Donna Slusser
during our local quilt show. We were to use a traditional block and "shadow" it using value and size
to create a design.
Night After Night - Made as a class sample to demonstrate curved piecing methods by Sharon Schamber, Ruth
McDowell and others. Only the kitties are raw edge appliqued in place.
Patchwork Cottage - Made as a raffle quilt to raise funds for guild and quilt show. It was won by
a fellow guild member , so I can still see it if I wish !!
