CARDS ON THE TABLE

I Heart You - I love hearts. I did change a few things, made it bigger, matched up the blocks, digitized the applique hearts in Bernina embroidery software. All the quilting are heart designs.

Playful Garden - I made this quilt in a Block of the Month class. The Quilt pattern was designed to learn how to use many different accessories for your machine and different techniques in quilting. I learned a lot and loved playing and learning something new each month.

Summer Sunflowers - Several differnt landscape fabrics were combined to form one background image. The interlocking squares form a kind of trellis for the sunflowers. I know sunflowers don't need a trellis but I do love them.

-- - Inspired by the work of Marianne Burr

Equipped to Stand - Based on Eph 6 to put on the whole armor of God so we can be equipped to stand in the day of evil. Juried into Mancuso's Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival 2012.

Good Morning - I started this quilt in 2009. Each square was hand drafted. After 36 squares I decided to call it good and make a quilt. There was a quilt similar in the book, and I used it as my inspriation. It is very bright and different than what I have done in the past.

orange and tuurquoise applique - I purchased this quilt from and antique store in the 90's. I believe that it is an Egyptian tent quilt. It is totally done by hand in heavy cotton duck fabric. I love the colors. I would love to know more about it.

Seeds for the Future - The quilt is fused applique with hand dyed recycled seed bags, glass beads, machine embroidery and machine quilting. It celebrates the 150th anniversary of the USDA. It won Best in Category (Category: Future of Agriculture) in the USDA's Art & Agriculture employee art contest for 2012. It is being shown in the USDA headquarters building in Washington D.C. until the end of this year.
