Sidney's Graduation Quilt - Quilt made for my granddaughter for her high school gradution. She chose the pattern and all the fabrics. She also designed the layout of the fabrics. The pattern was for a 60X60 quilt, but we enlarged it a bit to fit her twin size bed by adding more blocks for the length and an extra border around. She is excited to take it to college this fall.
The Wave - This Humback was an experiment in making water look "wet". I used lots of shiney stuff including crystals, beads, shiny tulle, threads etc. I used a variation of my Mosaic Piecing, so the background is raw edged. The "fluke" is satin appliqued over that background. You may have seen it at Houston.
Convergence - I had been wanting to do a convergence for a long time. Then I saw this Asian print and fell in love and knew what I wanted to do. I used copper metallic thread and quilted the pieced part in a bamboo design. I sort of stippled the border, outlining the flowers.
Majestic Challenge - The silhouette was applied using Steam-a-Seam2. Then the borders were added and I quilted it using a variegated thread and the BSR foot on my Bernina.
Autumn Batik - I had been wanting to do a Fall quilt with leaves for a long time. Then saw some gorgeous batiks and pieced the blocks, appliqued the leaves on top, then used copper colored metallic thread to quilt it using the BSR foot on my Bernina.
Northern Reflections - The trees in this block were paper pieced - my first attempt at that and I really enjoyed it. About the time I was making this, I watched Susan Cleveland on TQS. So I used her piping method to make a burnt orange border between the blocks and the border.
Charissa's Orange Peel Quilt - It was a "Made in China" shower curtain...it was an experiment to see if I could quilt it on my longarm. My little sister loved it, so it went home with her.
