Hexagon Bonanza ! - I pieced this in 2009 and was waiting until I had my longarm machine to quilt it, and having also purchased a circle lord at the same time, I quilted it with swirls and circles within a week of receiving my APQS Lenni and circle lord. I absolutely love my new longarm !!
Although I thought this was too bright initially thinking that all I could see was orange, it has grown on me and now I love it, plus with its flannel backing it is so cosy and warm to snuggle under at night.
Let's Go Fly a Kite - Decided to use Blank Fabrics Peking Kids fabric and the leftover orange batiks I had and this is what emerged. The background fabric is Chinese kites. Free motion quilting is kites and kite tails.
Love & Peace - I made this quilt with no intended recipient in mind. Just loved the fabric and pattern. I decided to give it to my nephew for his new son, Vincent. It's made with a '60's style VW Bug print with flowers, peace signs, & butterflies. It's also quilted with peace signs, butterflies, & flowers in different coordinating threads.
Trent's Quilt - I made this for my Great Nephew. It is just a basic patchwork quilt with a border. Made from homespun and stitched in the ditch with my sewing machine.
10 Year Delay - My first bargello - made with four panels. Made as part of a family challenge to try use up all Mom's crappy 70's 50/50 fabrics. Because of these fabrics, I waited to start quilting until 1990. =)
Fall - Fall theme, the dimensional flying geese were made with one seam. Thank you Ricky Timms.
This is a Two for One Quilt, Christmas theme is on the other side.
Double Wedding Ring - I didn't have enough fabric (the recipient of the quilt selected Eleanor Burns' Yours Truly fabrics from Benartex which is no longer available) to complete all of the required arcs for this size so I used the background material in a 12 inch border in which Amie beautifully quilted feathers and piano keys.
Christopher drumming - My son Christopher played drums in a Brazilain drum group as an undergard at UCLA. I made this art quilt for him for Christmas, using Beth Wheeler's technique.
Peepaw's Quilt - My mother-in-law gave my husband her father's Marine Corps pins and buttons. I made a quilt with pictures and then sewed all the pins/buttons on.
Peter, The Game of Love and Chance - Following Beth Wheeler's books, I made my son an art quilt with his picture as Harlequin, from The Game of Love and Chance. The quote came from a t-shirt he wears.
Memories - This was a sampler that was a step up from my other sampler. I am a kayaker so I appliqued the kayak off a photo of me, I love and have plumeria blooming in Campbell River so I appliqued the flower and the stone with the herringbone feather represents Featherstone. It's just a lot of who I am and I like the quilt. It's on my couch when the penguins aren't.
