Aunt Mimi's Flower Garden - I love flowers and gardening almost as much as I love making quilts. This quilt is entirely machine made: applique, quilting, and piped binding ala Ricky's Grand Finale video.
Triple Trio of Stars - This quilt needed appliqué! But I didn't want to take another 2 years completing the appliqué this quilt deserved, so I stencilled and painted to floral blocks.
Dad's Plaids and Plaid Poppies sister quilts - Dad's Plaids is a string quilt made from recycled men's plaid sport shirts and new fabrics. The flowers and leaves in Plaid Poppies were cut from leftover strings from Dad's Plaids. These quilts will be patterned in my new book "Innovations and Renovations: String Quilts" to be released this coming fall by Good Books, Inc.
Internet - Hand-dyed gradations are so much fun to use to create optical illusions. The apparent interweaving of the blocks reminded me of how the internet intertwines people world-wide. Pattern available.
Bernina's Wall Flower - This little wall quilt incorporates all the techniques used to make my large award-winning quilt Star Flower and is the basis for a class I teach nationwide called Wall Flower. A pattern is available for Star Flower. Website: http://www. elsiemcampbell.com. The original large quilt resides in the MAQS Museum in Paducah, Kentucky.
Rhy's Tumbling Blocks - I made this quilt for my first, and only grandson. I thought it would nice hanging on a wall even though it is a crib size quilt.
Desert Scenes - We visited Tucson and attended the Fiesta Quilt Show in January 2005. I bought the material at a local quilt shop. I made this quilt as a thank you gift for our hosts.
Bird of a thousand colors - This quilt is made for the myth The Ku Bird, a myth about a bird that had no feathers and the forest each gave him a feather and he then became the bird of a thousand colors.
I love birds and couldnt resist making a quilt to go with this old story.
