Path & Stiles - My first attempt at machine quilting. Traditionally, the path & stiles pattern is made with two fabrics (light and dark). I added the medium turqoise and blue fabrics to calm down the quilt a bit.
La Gomera - This quilt is inspired by the landscapes of the island of La Gomera, in Canary Islands. The baby bloks are the stone formations of "Los Organos", the greens inside the bloks are the trees of the Laurisilva, a forest from the terciary era and Human´s Patrimony
Cole's Airplane Quilt - I made this for the first son of a friend of mine. I quilted airplanes in the alternate blocks. He can't sleep without his 'special blanket' which is the main reason we make baby quilts...to be loved.
Marina de Añaza - This is bargello quilt with 3-D strips. Añaza is the name that the natives from Tenerife gave to the beach were the capital of the island is settle in.
Oh! New Orleans, my New Orleans - This Quilt was make after the Katrina´s hurricane and becouse my husband and I were in New Orleans in the year 1998 and we were so amazing by the people, the music and the city.
" For THEM"
Teide primer Plano - This quilt is our intepretation of the highest mountain in Spain. It is a solitary volcano, 3.720 metters high, full of colors, and one of the symbols of Canary Islands, an Tenerife of course, the island were it is located.
Year of the Boar - This was made for the Pueblo Quilt Expos Fabric Challenge 2007. The theme was "Creativing Isn't Boaring" in honor of the Chinese The Year Of The Boar. 1st Place in wallhangings
Rainbow Kitties - This quilt was designed for my first Granddaughter. It was part of the WHQG Quilt Show in 2003. The kitties on the quilt are wearing sunglasses, which was listed on the scavenger hunt sheet that we passed out to the children that attended our show.
Onward & Upward - I made this for my husband's new office wall. I had to calculate a much smaller quilt from the original 68" x 68" size. It was also tricky to use only manly quilting designs.
Romancing Baltimore - I sandwiched this quilt before sewing down the fusible bias tape. That way it actually quilted it somewhat and I added machine quilting to finish it. Very fun!
Royal Palm - Quilt made in on-line class, it was chosen for Karen's book "Floral Illusions for Quilters" AQS 2003.
In 2005 Quilt University had a special display "Without Borders" at Fall IQF, the quilt was again chosen for display.
Am I proud, or what!!
Shuffle The Deck - Four different fabrics were stacked and cut at obtuse angles. Then "shuffled" to make four different four patch blocks. These for were sewn to make another four patch. I was surprised how simple it was.
Soaring Compliments - The first time I saw this quilt in QNM magazine I adored it. I waited for Caryl Bryer Fallert to publish the pattern and I jumped at the chance to have a version of it. From looking through the gallery here, I'm not the only one who appreciates her work.
Swim Little Fisheys - The four patch is just two fabrics. An all over fish is blue and some green. The green has a sparkle to it making it look like the sun is shinning into the deep blue sea. The black shashing and binding really makes it "pop".
A Childs Life - Being new I needed something to relate to. This seemed perfect. It is a small wall hanging so I made mine larger. To fit a child about 5-8 yrs. The quilt has been donated and a little girl chose it.
