The Accidental Quilt - This quilt was originally going to be a pieced border for the blue jelly roll quilt, until I realised it was completely the wrong colour. Hence the name, the Accidental Quilt.
The Many Faces of Happy - We were challenged to make a quilt based on an emotion. I choose "Happy." I drew quilting designs joining a variety of faces and smiles on a wholecloth quilt sandwich, then quilted the lines. I painted between the lines to make the design appear to be pieced. I completed the project by couching over 3 pieces of perle cotton to make the defined black lines. This has a faced binding that shows slightly to edge the front.
Dreamtime - I've been collecting Australian fabric for the past 5 years, but only in the past year found this design, which I feel does these magnificent, curved designs justice. Laurie Weiner, who did the quilting, created original Aboriginal designs which she incorporated into the quilted border.
Stephan's Memories - This is our younger son's memory quilt ready to go to college with him. All the squares but one are from tee shirts. One is a photo transfer. He picked the fabric for the sashing strips. It went together much, much quicker than his older brother's quilt did 3 years ago!
Ikat Edges - 100% of the fabrics in this quilt are hand dyed and hand woven material from Bali, Indonesia, that I purchased while in Bali this Spring. The idea of using the edge of the fabrics was inspired by the selvage edge quilts by Karen Griska.
Alice in wonderland - This medallion quilt is my daughters favourate. She named it and ownes it. I made it during a course of six workshops at a local quilt shop (now closed unfortunatly).
New York Beauty - I made this quilt following a mamagram and needle biopsy that thankfully turned out ok. I wanted to reflect all the pins and needles that were stuck into me. Pink because of breast cancer awarness.
christmas - This quilt has come out at christmas for quite a few years now. It is coverted by both my children and will have to be mentioned in the will or there WILL be problms. Much loved
harvest - This is my Halloween quilt lots of Halloween fat quarter that I was saving for this project.
All around the edge I embroidered apples and pears.
autumn stars - Once again started with the basic pattern and started adding on not sure if vissible but applique spider in corner hanging from web strand.
stars - I foundation pieced this HUGE quilt from a Carole Doak pattern. It was already big but I added the flying geese border to make it enourmous which is why you only see part of it!
wallhanging 3 - I was trying various embelishment techniques and using backgrounds to enhance images. In the righthand corner is a butterfly and the quilting is butterflys also.
round robin 2 - This is a second roun-robin this time made in rows. I dont know if you can see it but mine is the one with the birds. The theme was a cottage garden.
