Many Moons - This wall hanging is a little outside my"comfort zone," but I was inspired by all the exceptional quiults in the quilt gallery to stretch myself.
The blocks That Tumbled - I began this as a hand pieced project to do while a passenger on car trips in the early 90s. Got confused when assembling the blocks and put it away until a few weeks ago when I put it together by machine and will start quilting it shortly.
Summer Days - Quilt guild summer challenge: to use kaleidoscope blocks in a summer-themed quilt. I made a landscape with stars and the sun at the top, flowers and earth below.
Persian Fantasy - I fell in love with this Robert Kaufman fabric and decided to use this pattern to put together these lovely materials. This top is still waiting for quilting and embellishments with beads, I think. I have not done beading before, so this will be a learning experience.
Marlowe's Magic Music - Marlowe is our retiring church choir director. He is living with ALS and hopefully this quilt will keep his legs nice and warm! The blocks have musical instrument fabric (Marlowe is a saxophonist) and the border is music staff fabric. The borders are both mitered (which I DO NOT like to do) and the binding is bias to take advantage of the design on the black fabric.
The number one fan - This was made for my daughter's first full size bed. I made it because I was her number one fan and still am. It took me three years from cutting the first patches out until I finished it.
All Ohio - This was designed for a quilt challenge in my guild and for the celebration of Ohio's Bicentennial. It was entered in the Ohio State Fair for the celebration. Every block signifies something about Ohio and it is totally quilted with names of famous Ohioans.
Grandma's flower garden - This was made by my grandmother in the 30's and quilted by my cousin's grandmother in the 70's. The quilting is 9 stitches to an inch.
not named - I do not know the origin of pattern of this quilt. I inherited it from my husband's grandmother in 1983. It is quilted in parallel diagonal double lines 1/2" apart. It is quilted 12 stitches to an inch. The red fabrics are starting to deteriorate.
Durham Quilt - This quilt has lovely stitching and has an unusual tale - it was found in a drawer by a furniture dealer and used as a drop cloth, becoming an allover brown color! A local person saw it and bought it at the local market - luckily it washed out and became white again. My son put some wet ski gloves on it - another washing ensued but it really is a sturdy quilt. Design - running feathers with a central circular design.
To New Horizons - I made this quilt with a lot of orange because that is Allison's favorite colors. I usedmostly batiks, then put in a butterfly fabric because Allison loves butterflys.
Will's T-shirt quilt - This quilt was made for my daughter's boyfriend, Will. It is constructed with his KA fraternity T-shirts from his college years at Delta State University.
