East meets West
Name of Maker: Marion Dowell
East meets West - In the fall of 2006, I went to Taiwan courtesy of AYUSA, the exchange student organization I work for. I stayed with a host family for a week. They gave me many gifts, including a set of wood carvings made from camphor wood. The Chinese characters say "Good Luck all Year Long". When I got home, I photographed the wood carvings, traced the characters and the circle they were in onto Wonder Under (I even remembered to reverse the characters!!) and fused them to the background fabric. I machine quilted leaves around the circles.

KELP ME, I CAN'T STOP QUILTING
Name of Maker: Lynne Bryant
KELP ME, I CAN'T STOP QUILTING - The Greater Ann Arbor (MI) Quilt Guild sponsored two classes by Carol Taylor. I adapted this design from her class. It went so fast I finished it in a week. Then I stepped back and realized it looked like a kelp bed. Hence, the title.
Sewing Cabin
Name of Maker: Lori Howe
Sewing Cabin - I made this quilt while working at So Fro Fabrics selling Sewing Machines. I used all sewing theme fabrics and a log cabin background. I machine quilted it back when machine quilting was not an accepted quilting method.
Prismic Whirlpool
Name of Maker: NorthernValkyrie
Prismic Whirlpool - Created for Guild Challenge entitled "Opposites Attract". Originally I wasn't going to participate, but then this design idea popped into my head during the drive home from work. The project is needle turn applique.

Oriental Beauty
Name of Maker: Janet Henshaw
Oriental Beauty - After seeing all the beautiful oriental fabrics and finding this Book (Circles of the East) I was addicted. Thus this Quilt.
Chinese Garden
Name of Maker: Lynne Bryant
Chinese Garden - I adapted this one from a photo I took 20 years ago in China. This photo has been on my design wall ever since. The presence of the seaweed like vine is just another example showing why I will never win a prize in a quilt show

Drazil (lizard spelled backwards)
Name of Maker: Laura Krasinski
Drazil (lizard spelled backwards) - This quilt was made for a grab bag swap that Tomme Fent organized on the Quiltart list. I had fabrics and trims from Jan Patterson and I made the quilt from what I had received from Tomme.. After making the quilt I found that it was Jan Patterson's fabric bag. It was so much fun..
Rainbows for Gwen

Rainbows for Gwen - Sunbonnet Sue with flower on grass with rainbow in sky. Surrounded by rainbow border.
Two Years O Love
Name of Maker: Linda Cortez
Two Years O Love - I call this quilt "Two Years of Love" because that's how long I've been quilting. This quilt is made from scraps of all the quilts I've made in that time. I keep it on my bed so I can "see" all the quilts I have made.
