9:15, Reflections on Lo Shu - This quilt tells the story of the Lo Shu turtle, a nine-grid Chinese good luck symbol dating back to 2800 BC. The shape suggests the turtle’s shell, the quilting reflects the circular dots on his shell. There is a special significance to the position of the numbers. Can you find it?
Grandmother's flower quilt - This is the first quilt I ever made almost 20 years ago. Back then I used traditional pieces of cardboard (cut from old cereal boxes), it's not perfect but I still love it!
Susans in My Garden - Design for this quilt started with a photo of black-eyed-susans in my garden and a quilt art exploration class at my local quilt shop using Katie Pasquini Masopust's techniques.
Memories of Home - Original design of raw edge fusible applique on hand painted background and quilted on my Bernina. Second prize winner at "A Garden of Quilts" show, Millville, NJ. in 2010.
Naughty Puss - I made this little quilt for my guild show challenge. The challenge title was "Everything is Coming Up Roses".
The challenge quilt had to include some type of rose or roses. I adapted the pattern by using Joan Shay's
method of making 3-D roses. Two roses in the vase and one in the puss' mouth. It won a second place in the
Rose Challenge.
My Water Lilies - Done in a class to learn bargello. The water lilies are my design and done in raw edge fusible applique. The free motion quilting was done on my Bernina.
Autumn Leaves - This is the result of a class on foundation piecing done at my local quilt shop. Autumn leaves appliqued on with free motion detailing.
Jane's Block - Paper piecing is great fun. I have taken two workshops from Carol Doak through my guild and she is just
wonderful. In her book she names all the blocks after women she knows and when I saw Jane's block of
course I had to make myself a quilt.
Katie's Quilt - My granddaughter wanted a "horizontal" quilt for her bed. I made up every row as I went along. Her bed is queen size so I finally started repeating some rows. The size and coming out even on each end was tricky.
Katie loves her quilt.
