Between Friends - This is another top I have made for the "Make a quilt for the soldiers" project. I liked the combination of black and white with blue. I hope we're able to send a lot of them over. Someone had asked why "no red, white and blue quilts". Part of the reason is that they are probably inundated with patriotic gestures and something cozy and homey or bright and cheerful will make them feel good. Someone else mentioned the fact that the caskets of the soldiers who have died are draped in the flag, so it might be a bit uncomfortable to sleep under the flag. Just an opinion. It's a great project and Quilt Lovers' Hangout is really being generous and working hard to make it a success. I'm going to make one more that I hope to show soon.
dream - Made for a contest which asked for a postcard. I was hoping to win a trip to a spa in Arizona, and thought a hand made card would attract attention!
Bernice's Cathedral Windows - Cathedral Windows, with 20 yds of muslin foundation, seemed the best solution to this request to use my college roomies childhood fabric stash.
Twisted Tulips - Centre of quilt machine pieced using Twisted Log Cabin technique. Top and bottom borders machine appliqued. Uses a colour wheel of 18 fabrics. Made from my own Country Dye Works hand dyed fabric.
Twisted Orchids - Hexagonal wall quilt or table topper. Six graduating shades of each of six primary and secondary colours. Made from my own Country Dye Works hand dyed fabric.
Forgotten Farms - Nine pictoral blocks surrounded by a wonky log-cabin block border. Pictoral blocks are raw-edge, fuse-appliqued and thread art was added for detail.
Genuine 007 - Using a photograph, a line drawing was prepared from an enlargement. Fabrics were fused and appliqued to base fabric. Heavy machine stitching for definition.
Tribal Pride on Parade - Using an original photograph, it was enlarged before creating a line-drawing for the pattern. A variety of fabrics were used to achieve shadow and highlights for this portrait quilt. Feathers, beads, and other embellishments were hand sewen after machine quilting.
Laura's quilt - I made this queen size quilt for my daughter's 21st birthday in June 2006 from my own Country Dye Works hand dyed fabrics. We are both thrilled with it.
2003 BOM Row Quilt - I began working at our fabric store in the Fall of 2002. This is the 2003 BOM. I was challenged with each pattern. I felt comfortable with the pattern by the end of the row!
Love Cards - This is a quilt I made for a wedding present for my daughter and son-in-law. They use it as a bedspread. It is a huge king size quilt and probably the third quilt I made.
Garden of Stars - This is a quilt I made for my sister for Christmas. She picked the pattern and the fabrics and I turned it all into one very nice lap size quilt. I think she forgot what she had chosen by the time I gave her the quilt...
Sandy's Comfort - This quilt is for a friend of mine who had a breast removed last week. She's looking at about six months of chemo-therapy. She's going to need a comfort. I had a week off from work and this is the result.
