Memory Quilt for Mrs Lerch - This quilt was made as a gift for there teacher. My friends daughter and the other 8th graders are moving on to a high school. They each designed their block on 8X10 sheet of paper. I then took their designs and transfered them to fabric. The parents donated the fabrics plus a little of my stash of course. This was such a fun quilt to make I quilted it in the ditch with a feather stitch.
The kids will present it to their teacher this friday so I am hoping she will enjoy it.
Chicken Chop Suey - I started this quilt at a retreat and put it away. I got it back out and decided that the pieces falling off the side was what it needed. The fabric is all chickens, hence the name.
Our Quilt Two - This was my second big bed quilt. I love the big oversized blocks. There is fabric from every quilt I've made in it, and some my mother sent me. I went thru a big book of blocks and just picked the ones I liked for the border, and put our names on the sides. I love this quilt.
CQ for Michele - 42" x 32" Black velvet border around silks, satins, laces in colors from white and lightest pinks to deep burgandy and black. Special fabrics and jewelry make it just Michele's
Road Traveler - I made this for my brother in Oregon in 2006 for his 5th wheel. Instead he put it on the bed in his hauler, a place of honor really! He LOVES this quilt and there will never be another quilt that will be so well received the way this one was.
Emily's Quilt - This quilt was made for my granddaughter's first "big bed." I chose 30s/40s reproduction fabrics mainly in purples, oranges, greens. The backing is a Moda flannel print to help keep her warm during the cold Colorado winters.
Kaffe Fassett Fabrics Beauty - I bought fat quarters of these fabrics at my favorite quilt store, now closed, In the Beginning, in Seattle, WA during a visit to my daughter's. I love the stripes and plaids, and have it hanging in my living room on the brick wall above our fireplace. It complements the terra cotta paint on our living room walls.
Ribbon weaving with quilting - The class was of simple ribbon weaving a small rectangle 2 x 3 and placing it on a black silk background and putting it in a picture frame. I took it a step farther and added my quilting skills and made it a wall hanging
Under the Sea is the Best Place to Be - When I saw this scuba fabric I had to design the quilt. I also made baseball and skiing versions. The pattern is available under my label "BunnyChow Designs."
Holly's Graduation Quilt - This quilt contains many beautiful batiks, in gorgeous, bright colors. It was given to my daughter as a gift for her graduation from Law School at the University of Virginia. I love sleeping under it when I visit her and her husband in Seattle!
June 2006 Celebration - The block is from Carol Doak's Yahoo Quilting Group when she started it in June 2006.
I made one block way back then and found it too difficult. But I couldn't have all that work go into an orphan block! A few months later, after some paper-piecing practice, I decided to make four more and put them together. I'd had enough by then and put it away for "the future."
Time passed and I remembered the quilt as having lots of purple in it.
A year or so later, I got the purple quilt out to finish. Purple? -- well, only a teensy-tiny bit in the center squares as it turns out. So it became known as the NOT Purple Quilt. Then I did pick up the tiny bit of purple and put the purple border on. Finally totally finished on March 16, 2007.
