convergence in the jungle - number 4 made with commercial batiks. I loved the forest feel to this one and an elephant "appeared" on the right as if coming from behind trees. Other people have seen other creatures in it too. I enhanced the "trunk" and "eyes" with tiny gold beads and will probably add more beads.
I used Ricky's method of very fine piping before the binding.
convergence number 3 - Number 3. I enjoyed the bright colours of this one. I used commercial hand dyed and a batik that resembled palm trees, so I quilted palm trees onto it. I added piping to the inside border.
Snow Family - This was designed by Pearl Louise Krush in 2004 and I loved it enough to buy enough fabric to make 3 of them. I plan to make more in this series.
Mommy's Home - I entered this 12" X 12" for Quilting Arts' 2008 Calendar challenge (home-house theme). It shows the 6 dogs that my husband and I have rescued over the years. It was get great fun putting this together but alas, I didn't make into the calendar.
Celebrate! - I purchased a bunch of jewel tones for a Project Linus quilt and thought they would be great to use in a Kaleidoscope. I was so thrilled with how the center medallion turned out, I did 1/2 sized 3/4 kaleidoscopes to use as the cornerstones! OK, yes, I get obsessed with this stuff!
