Tablemat
Name of Maker: Dorothy Van Dyne
Tablemat - Made for table in Motorhome. It fit and looked beautiful. For some unknown reason, this is the one time I didn't prewash---so, you guessed it, the quilt shunk when washed. I've now taken it a part to add another border. Count me as one who will forever pre-wash fabrics.
Let there be light
Name of Maker: Marié du Toit
Let there be light - I admire the Japanese quilts consisting of many fabrics and apparently heavily quilted. This is my interpetation of Taupe fabrics. I used stars andstar designs from Judy Martin's books in the middle of an Ocean Wave block. I tried to make the centre klighter with darker edges- it did not quite came out the way I saw it in my minds eye.
Aaron's ABC Quilt
Name of Maker: Carol Henderson
Aaron's ABC Quilt - I saw the ABC cotton fabric and thought it would make a great small quilt for my then year old grandson. It was a simple quilt. I originally had planned to use lots of different colors not just red and blue but did not like the overall look. This was my first attempt at machine quilting.
Jake's quilt
Name of Maker: Dorothy Van Dyne
Jake's quilt - Made from Corine's flannel scraps (after making Turning Twenty Quilt for her husband). The new puppy needed his own quilt, so I made one for it.
Smooth Sailing
Name of Maker: Dorothy Van Dyne
Smooth Sailing - Made for Grandson #1 on the occasion of his becoming a Dad. Quilt became a baby favorite and is now (2007) being used for great-grandchild #2. It has seen a lot of baby messes and still looks great.
Under Water
Name of Maker: Martha Szescila
Under Water - It's my view of the world underwater here in Destin, Florida. I stitched it with the movement of the water in mind. It hangs in our house here on the bay.
Traditional Curves
Name of Maker: Marié du Toit
Traditional Curves - I made this quilt for a "curve" cahllenge. I used the Drunkards Path blocks to provide a frame around appliqued baskets of flowers. I want the blocks to melt together in one quilt.
Jungle Safari
Name of Maker: Marié du Toit
Jungle Safari - This Quilt was made for the National Competition in 1994. I had a lot of difficulty cambining the blocks and nearly threw the pieces away. The quilt grew to its enormous size.
Knysna Bos
Name of Maker: Marié du Toit
Knysna Bos - This quilt was made in green blue and yellow. The light yellow look like the sun shining through the woods. I named the quilt Knysna bos and quilted some of the mysterious Elephants in the light areas.

The Mighty Jungle
Name of Maker: kdub7
The Mighty Jungle - I saw a similar design in a quilt store called "Tomorrow's Heirlooms" and I adapted it to my sizing and style. I made it for a teacher's new-born son.
Spring Fields
Name of Maker: kdub7
Spring Fields - This was my design for the 2007 Hoffman Challenge. This is my first quilt to be entered in a show or competition. I never realized the stresses and last-minute panic of making a quilt that is due on a certain date. :) I was pleasantly surprised to find that my quilt won Best Youth Mixed Technique award in the Hoffman Challenge. It's an honor!
Elegance and Old Lace
Name of Maker: Penny Hollar
Elegance and Old Lace - I used reverse applique on each embroidered block to make the embroidery look as though it is not set in blocks. Each block has stacked decorative stitches to make it look like there is lace around each embroidery design. The embroidery was done using Marcia Pollard's Grand Elegance designs and her thread color set from Robison Anton. To continue the soft, feminine look of the quilt, I scalloped the edges. My quilter did a mock trapunto as the quilting.
Northern Star
Name of Maker: Nina Wetter
Northern Star - Made this quilt for our new home in Virginia. It is the largest quilt I ever made and ever will make. My friend Chris quilted it for me on her long arm in Pa. right before we moved.
