Hawaiian Memory
Name of Maker: Martha Szescila
Hawaiian Memory - After a long time away from hand quilting and a wonderful trip back to Hawaii, I decided to capture the feeling of Hawaii in this quilt. It is the color of the water there and here at home in Destin. My new husband had never seen my hand-quilted work so I thought I'd better prove I could really do it! I used batik fabric with a bit of gold painted on in the shapes of shells. It was enjoyable and very relaxing.
Hello Kitty on Crack
Name of Maker: karlpompa
Hello Kitty on Crack - This is an in-progress picture of a baby quilt made for an upcoming baby girl. The pink is way, way, way pink. This is what happens when I try to make something girly... We call it "Hello Kitty on Crack."
Morbid Baby Quilt
Name of Maker: karlpompa
Morbid Baby Quilt - I read somewhere that black, red, and white were the most stimulating colors for newborns, so when a friend asked for a baby quilt, I thought "why not?" Needless to say, when she saw the piece is progress, she thought I was crazy, and a more normal quilt was requested (pastels; sigh....). So I made this bigger, and I figure ultimately I can use it for free-motion quilting practice!
Pumpkin Patch
Name of Maker: John Werner Jr
Pumpkin Patch - Log Cabin Blocks and Fused Machine Applique. All fabrics are from JoAnns (substituted for pattern fabric list). Norman Suhr Machine Quilted this for me and put on the binding.
Plaid Flowers
Name of Maker: karlpompa
Plaid Flowers - This was for a challenge, which required that the quilt include (1) at least one flower; (2) made with at least one plaid fabric. Both of the required elements made me stretch...
Inferno

Proverbs 5
Name of Maker: unknown
Proverbs 5 - Used old men's pants and denim jeanswith only one pattern piece. The backing was quilting flannel and no batting was used. The pattern was assembled in strips and laid directly on the wrong side of the flannel. Seams were made to show on the front side of the quilt and clipped every 1/4 inch. A simple 1-inch binding finished off the edges. This was a gift to my 20-yr-old grandson.
