Broken Dishes - I fell in love with the fabric and wanted to do something fun. This was a very easy quilt to put together. I am working on a larger one at this time with a different color, This has to be my favorite at the moment.
Megan's Rainbow - All those scraps and what to do, Just starting playing and putting those 2 inch squares together and this was my end results. My daughter has already claimed this one.
Grandma's Plates - I was pleased with the way this one turned out. Put my own twist on this pattern. Love the colors and the end results. Reminds me of plates on a placemat. Sorta like setting the table at Grandma's house.
Daddy Myron's Star - In July 2005 I had just finished making this Star Quilt for a Give-Away for my 72 year-old father, who had passed away one year earlier. Our son came home from the Navy with his wife and two sons for a visit. My husband, our son & daughter-in-law, and one of our daughters and I had a family Quilting Bee. We finished handquilting that 90" X 90" quilt in about 3 days. It was presented in honor of my father to a lady, who's father had been a close friend to my father for many years. The quilts was mauves, sky blues, burgundies, olive greens and beiges. It was truly a work of love in memory of my father, Myron.
Brown, black and white but pretty. - I just fell in love with the fabric. One of my quilt shops, "Gotta Have It Quilt Shop" in Baldwyn Ms. had one made up. So I bought the last kit and had a lot of fun making it. Even though the colors are muted and somewhat on the dull side, I thought the white flowers really perked it up. It is a very pretty quilt.
I machine pieced it on a Bernian 1250 and free motioned quilted it on a long arm machine. I did a meandering large stippling type quilting on it. This block and type quilting lets the fabric show up. Which is what I like best about quilting, the fabrics!!!
Hope you enjoy looking at my quilts.
Memories of Grand Tetons - I did this for my husband. We were blessed by being able to go to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone several years ago. We both love the mountains and the wildlife in them. This reminds us both of that trip.
This was a panel print that I cut the apart. I added sashing only to it as I wanted the panel print to be showcased.
I freemotioned quilted it on a Gammil long arm with a varigated thread.
Hope this inspires you to do a quilt that reminds you of a great vaction you had.
Masquerade - This quilt was designed and made by Marjory Peck and Hannah Stein to be used by the Arizonia Quilters Guild for they're 2005 opportunity quilt. Marjory designed and sewed the applique, Hannah pieced the entire top. It made almost $5000 for the guild.
Shared stars - As a member of a quilt guilde, there are always block swaps and chances to win them. I did a block and put it in the lot, and I acutally won the lot!! Took me awhile to put it together, but once I finally found the fabrics to go with it I think it came together nicely.
I machine pieced it and quilted it on a long arm machine. Once again, I meandered the quilting.
If you are ever in a swap and win the blocks, do try to put them together. You might find out that you like the quilt afterall. My wish is that I have inspired you to finish even the "swap" blocks you get.
Lazy Daisy Afternoon - The unseasonably warm weather we had in early January made me think of spring. I usually watch the snow falling softly this time of year and as a result make snowflakes and snowmen. We had a 70 degree day in January, which set new record highs for this area. I know the flowers are still a few months out, but I have been dreaming about them.
Moon Rock Garden - June had bad dreams until she started putting them into her 3D floral blocks. After going blind her daughter, Marjory designed the moon section and completed the quilt.
Mothers Day Off - One of Marjory's artquilts designed from photos she has taken. This quilt appeared in the book "Hand Dyed Fabric Made Easy" by Adrienne Buffington and Quilt Art '98 Engagment Calender.
Once Upon a Fairy Tale Forest - I attempted to capture the essence of a fantasy forest's interior. Thread colors and fabric perfect match, making the quilting hard to see unless one is near the quilt.
P.S. - This was the second quilt I made. I learned my quilting by following Alex Anderson's boooks!
Even though the quilting is almost invisible, I am so proud of this little beauty that it hangs over my bed's headboard.
Sophia's First Birthday! - The center is quilted in large free motion meandering stitch. Border quilted with Bernina 440 embroidery unit using my own continuous quilting design of a square made out of hearts.
The 12 Gifts of Birth - This quilt is the culmination of a year of quilting with Heber Valley Quilters. Five different piecing methods and five different applique methods are used. The "12 gifts" are embroidered on the blocks: love, joy, hope, faith, imagination, wisdom, beauty, reverence, courage, strength, talent and compassion.
Mexican Star - This was a mystery quilt made at a guild retreat. No one had any idea of the end result as construction steps were revealed one at a time. I love this quilt! It is EASY to make with strip piecing and folded squares tucked into corners as you piece the units together. Then turn back the bias edges of the folded squares to create the cathedral window look that is so stunning! Check out the website for this pattern: www.southwindquilts.com.
