Licorice Star Garden - I was inspired by some beautiful toille fabrics and some Liberty hand dyed greens. The background is a bargello variation and the "flowers" are original designs inspired by many great quilters.
Yellow Daylily One - I love Ruth McDowell's designs and fabric choices and I enjoyed learning and practicing her piecing technique so much, I made three of the daylilies from her book, Pieced Flowers.
Here's one of them.
Pokanik Convergence - This is my son David's 'going away to college' quilt. I figure I am ahead of the game because he is only a junior in college! Pokonik means 'until (we meet again)' in Russian. It is a true Fibonacci sequence in the light sections.
Fall Rhapsody - I wanted to try Ricki Tim's technique for conversion quilt and thougth I would add applique and name as a gift for my dog sitter, Nita Delgado. Her dachshund, Penny is pictured on the quilt.
Broken Hearts - Took quilting class at community College. This was the first quilt that I had made in 10 years.
Why Did I stop quilting, you ask? Raising 4 kids and working full time. Now that I am retired I get to quilt, go to quilt show , take quilt classes and go to "specil" quilt seminars with Ricky, Alex and Libby.
Springs' Butterflies - I do love the Hoffman fabrics. So if my last name is Hoffman why not do the Hoffman Challenge?
This was my first entry for the Hoffman Challenge.I worked on many ideas for this 2007 challenge, even waking up in the night with an idea on how to make the corners.
I have started working on a quilt for this years challenge(2008). The fabric is grreat.
Millenium Star - Made a wallhanging from one Star, from Peggy Martin's book.
Finally got to quilt it after Christmas.. guess I'm ahead for next year. :0)
Friendship Quilt - I purchased this quilt top on Ebay, dated July 21, 1934, there were two blank signature blocks,
so I signed one and dated it 2007 and had my mom sign one and dated 2007, as I was going to quilt it, it became a 2007, vintage quilt. :0).
I quilted a very simple clam shell and washed it and dried it, for the great vintage look.
Cherries - Cherries is the quilt printed on the front of my "Inspiration" pattern. It is an easy strip pieced quilt design by me and is great for that "get it finished NOW" project
Abstract Spring - The quilts composition is completely made up of my favorite block the Nine Patch. Curving and blending the colors, textures was a wonderful journey in design. The process always teaches me so much about myself.
Mountains at Sunrise - From my stash of batiks I was able to pull most of the fabrics for this quilt. It was fun to play with the color range. This was displayed at Sister's Quilt Show 2007
Pleasantville - I love the set in bias strip between the free form curves. It was exciting to see the ebb and flow of the curves highlighted by the red
Using up the stash(so I can buy MORE0 - The quilt was designed by Me and My Sister Designs, it was published in a magazine, I just added the fabric and success. Its a nice size for our queen bed.
War is hell on the homefront too! - This was a Block of the Month, its a good thing too, looking back, I don't know that I would have made it, the pattern didn't have rotary cutting, it was templates and I was so new to quilting that I didn't have a clue as to what to do with them, but it is finished and square, yeah...
