Name of Maker: Jolleen, Jane E., Linda and, Jane F.
Patriot Hearts - I was experimenting making a heart and came up with the center and thought it didn't look very good. Then our guild had a round robbin so I thought it would be fun to see what more talented people came up with for the borders to make my "ugly block" spectacular. Well, these 3 ladies exceeded my expectations! Each one did a border. I almost cried when it came back to me. It came together really well.
Where the lost things go - Made for NM State Fair Guild challenge to use turquoise and purple fabric I put in the path. The flowers were fussy cut and machine appliqued on.
The Marketplace - This quilt depicts the scene of Quilters' Marketplace, a beloved quilt shop that had been located on Atlantic Avenue in beautiful downtown Delray Beach, Florida, until its owner closed the shop in 2006. It was here that I first became involved in quilting when I retired and it was here that I formed many wonderful friendships.
Lovely Lupines - After I made a mistake in the original directions, I had to improvise to come up with a pleasing solution to my goof. I like the results, thank you very much!
Autumn braid - This wonderful pattrn was very easy to make. I did this in warm quilters weight flannel and backed it in flannel too. The batting is light weight poly so it would not add any more weight to the quilt.
I quilted it on my HQ 16 long arm machine. I can't wiat for our next cold Wyoming winter to sleep warm and cozy.
Sizzling Salsa - This quilt is a result of a class given by a guild member at our guild's first retreat in 2005. I decided to take the traditional nine-patch out of its comfort zone to a more sizzling, hot zone.
Wander and Roam - This is a quilt I first saw made up in our local quilt store. This was one of the easiest and most fun patterns I have used in a long time. I used many of the Christmas fabrics in my stash and bought only two for contrast.
Beach Cottages - This was the quilt that really started it all. It was my first ever experience with machine piecing AND paper piecing and free motion quilting. Boy, was I confused... But I had a blast spending three and a half hours picking out the fun fabrics, and in the class I took to learn the technique I met several new, wonderful friends. And the rest is history...
Psychelic Safari - I made this as part of a challenge for my then local NJ guild. The fabrics we had to use were quite wild, and I was able to complement them with the fabulous and fun African animals.
Special Delivery - I made this quilt to celebrate the birth of my granddaughter Isabella. Rather than have her actually use the quilt, mommy and daddy hung it on the wall.
Ethan's Chantelle - The fabrics for this "Caveman" style wall hanging were selected by my 9 year old son, Ethan. He cut the tulip shapes and I competed the quilt.
Natalie's - The adorable focus fabric has fancy dresses, shoes, wands, crowns and butterflies. The quilted images in each block were enlarged from the focus fabric.
Grama Libbie's Crazy Quilt - This quilt is in two strips, with silks, velvets and cottons. I believe my great grandmother made it before she was married because she embroidered her initials on one patch.
