Solider Quilt - While on guild retreat a member suggested everyone make a split 9patch block to make a solider quilt. Before retreat was over blocks were made and top was put together. Ft. Worth Quilt Guild makes and sends finished quilts to wounded soliders - When finished this top will make it's way to Brooks Army hosiptal in San Antonio, TX.
Lagniappe - Carefully pieced boats are placed in rows of watery fabric. One poor boat is upside down. Dark red prints used for boat bodies. Maritime flags in corners spell out owner's last name.
Cat's Meow - Calendar cats were scanned and printed on Printed Treasures fabric. There are two cats for each month of the year. Each cat block was s.i.d. and outlined the cat. Sashings and borders were free handed with cat paws and the word meow.
Bears in the North Country - This pattern is a bear paw block, with a twist. The entire quilt, including one of the borders, is paper-pieced. For fun, there are stars across the quilt between the twisted bear paws.
With Morning Comes Hope - It has silk ribbon embroidery, punchneedle and crewel with applique. Punchwork from this quilt featured in second edition of Quilting Arts Magazine.
Summertime Blues - I wanted to make a simple quilt using both EQ6 to design it, and my new Bernina with BSR to quilt it--and "Summertime Blues" came from that.
Inner Animal (and Roses) - Quilt made for my oldest son who stated a desire for an assorted animal print quilt while in college. He has used this quilt as a canapy over his bed, as a wall handing, and, of course, on his bed. It is fully reversible, with Alaskan animal scenes on the back.
Frog Log Cabin - This quilt was disigned around the purchase of 9 4" hand-painted batik squares with frogs that my now daughter-in-law loves. Fully reversible, this quilt features bright bold colors and whimsical frogs on the back.
