Stars in my Garden - Made from my first "brick" of fabric I purchased at the Chicago Show with my sister and niece - what a rememberance of a wonderful trip.
Flaming Dragons - My 4th quilt..... Another Christmas gift for a grandson. I used printed dragons and blue/orange flames, lightning bolts, waves on water, lava flow, and night sky fabrics. Then backed it with motorcycles with flames. I hoped it would be appropriate for a 9 year old. I was right. He loves it.
Tink Stars in Purple - I wanted to attempt triangles and needed to make quilts for my grandchildren's Christmas gifts. This is my second quilt. Purple stars around mixed Tinkerbell (R) fat quarters. Sam has loved Peter Pan and Tinkerbell from the time she could see the TV. She has seen all versions, including a live play just this year. When I found the Tink fat quarters, I knew these were made for her. We love the bright colors and way the pattern laid out to make pinwheels and stars. I used all the scraps to make the border. I think I like the border best of all. And I love my granddaughter and her mommy!
Skyler's First Quilt - This is my 8 year old granddaughter's first quilt. I cut the fabric she chose into 3" strips. We then constructed the blocks log cabin style. It is backed with Minkee. I have high hopes that she will become a quiter or sewer. Her mom will not sew on a button; if a garment needs mending she just puts it on Ebay!
For Lori - Made for a friend who was very sick. She got it 2 weeks before she passed. I hope it offered some comfort. Now owned by her 1 yr old granddaughter.
Name of Maker: Diane Lovitt My first designed quilt
Blending the Bulging Blasted Blender Block - This teal, rust, golden quilt has one boarder that extends out on the side. The light part seems to bulge out forward.
The Cow Jumped Over the Moon - My first quilt ever. DH surprised me for my birthday by purchasing a quilting class and selecting the fabrics. I then took the class and have been hooked since!
Stars for a Star - This is a graduation quilt that I made for a friend's daughter. She is attending Oklahoma City University. The mascot is Stars and their colors are blue and white. I designed the quilt using EQ6.
Flare - I wanted to try the Piping Hot curves technique the featured on the episode so I took some of my funkiest colors and put them together. Became a Solar Flare in my creativity.
Hearts & Flowers for Lois - These hearts are simply machine appliqued onto 6" squares. The backing is a solid lavender and the quilter, Gloria Walls disagreed with me on using purple thread. She finally gave in and we were both quite happy with the outcome - the back is as special as the front.
