Converge Away - I had to try this after Rickys demo. I just love it. Ricky signed converge away in my book in May. I thought this would be an appropriate title.
Violet - Large border is a photo on silk of a deteriroating tin building. Purple is a photo of tubing transferred to fabric with gel medium, Photo of my grandmother colored in Photoshop and transferred to fabric with get medium.
Dad - I used a photo of my Dad when he was little and added several layers in PhotoShop. I used a digital ground on a comercial batik but did not completely cover the fabric. Then I printed and washed the fabric. Where there is no digital ground the print washed away giving the distressed look. I gave this one to my Mother and intend to make similar ones for his grandchildren.
Black is not Black - Pieced with various black fabric, embroidered with a Hollis Turnbown quilt design, then bleached with Softscrub and a brayer to get the different colors of the "blacks"
Holly's After Glow - I took a photograph that my Great Aunt Vivian took of her late husband, Holly, and his dog. I made her a wall hanging of it to have at the nursing home.
4 Hour Quilt - I decided to see how quickly I could make a wall quilt. Tha background is a variegated cotton. I covered it with silk flowers and tulle, did some quick FM quilting, added hand beading in the center, bound it and added a hanging sleeve in just under 4 hours.
Think of Something Wonderful - Think of something wonderful is a technique my sister taught me to move from the "fright to flight" to being able to calmly and clearly ask questions at meetings and with people in general. It works. She wanted a little quilt for her office to I made this.
Victoria's Single Irish Chain - This was a challenge project from my Fabric Junkies quilt group. Doreen pieced the top with fabric from my stash and I got to quilt it!
Miranda's Quilt - This is my daughter's quilt. She picked out the pattern, chose all her colors and arranged the blocks. I provided the cutting and sewing.
Dawn Maries' quilt - This quilt is the result of a 10 & 10 challenge hosted by a friend. Learning that she likes stars and soft colors this quilt emerged. The process was delightful and I learned a lot!
Aiming for That Star - I started this quilt after I began visiting Jinny's website http://www.jinnybeyer.com. My skill at the time were not quite up to a flat center and insetting the y-seams. This was also around the time I started learning how to machine quilt. Oh the agony. Earlier this year I decided to take out all of the quilting, re do the whole thing and this is what I came up with.
Star Twist - This quilt was inspired by the Twisted Log Cabin quilt seen on Simply Quilts and was pieced using the Square In A Square technique by Jodi Barrows using a 15 degree angle and no paper. The hardest part was getting the colors in the right place.
Wonky Quarters - As a precision piecer, occasionally I need to take a break and do something completely different. The blocks for this quilt were mading with uneven quarter square triangles using a strip piecing technique with no seams matching. The quilt top was donated at our last quilt guild meeting and will be quilted by one of the members.
