What's Black, White and Red All Over? - Made for my nieces 21st. She loved it. It is by far the largest quilt I have made to date. I enjoyed working with the predominately black and white fabrics.
Curves, Spikes and Flying Geese
Name of Maker: Kathy Rentz
Curves, Spikes and Flying Geese - The fabrics in this quilt were fun to put together - the more the better. This is a popular class that I teach. The spikes and flying geese are paper-pieced but I don't sew through the paper so I don't have to tear it out afterward. The curves use the Backporch template and is a gentle curve so no pinning or clipping is needed.

Red, White and Blue - My brother has visited the states a few times and loves it. So i made this quilt for him. i was very pleased to get the flag fabric in Australia

Stars and Crosses - front of quilt - I started quilting in 2002. The second quilt that I started was this king-size quilt (what was I thinking!?!?!). I finally finished it late in 2006 and had it quilted in 2007. I am giving it to my parents to keep them warm on cold nights in Minnesota.

intuition - Variation on Grandmother's Garden. Hexagons in the rings of 6 are fussy cut to be identical, or in somecases, very closely related.

The pink corners poking out at the bottom are actually from the quilt below it...oops

Wholecloth Bluebirds
Name of Maker: Arlene Ritz
Wholecloth Bluebirds - I loved the greeting card and thought it would make a good quilt. The bluebirds and flowers are handpainted. I used trapunto in the hand quilting. The back also has a flower painted on to cover a spot of blood. It won a first place ribbon in the Fine Arts category at a local county fair.
Op-Art #1

Stack of Blocks
Name of Maker: Linda Kittmer
Stack of Blocks - I love the look of 3-D quilts so I wanted to make a tumbling block quilt. I had also been collecting all kinds of novetly fabrics for an I Spy quilt so I dedcided to combine the two projects. Traditional tumbling block quilts use diamonds, but I wanted the feature fabrics to be square. I played around with designs until I came up with a way of getting the 3-D look for tumbling blocks while keeping the front face of the block square.
Nature's Awakening
Name of Maker: Arlene Ritz
Nature's Awakening - First convergence quilt with origame flowers and butterflies, trapunto butterflies in background and antique buttons.
Hollow Cubes
Name of Maker: Linda Kittmer
Hollow Cubes - I have a fascination with 3 dimensional looking quilts, and this one was great fun to make! I free motion quilted a different animal in each of the hollow cube blocks. I used Laura Lee Fritz's book as inspiration and without marking, I just had fun 'drawing' with thread.
Going Around in Circles
Name of Maker: Linda Kittmer
Going Around in Circles - This quilt was inspired by a quilt challenge called "Exploring New Territory" put out by the Brampton Quilters Guild. I decided to play with circles and curved edges. I had no vision as I began--I just started to play and I really didn't know what the end result was going to be. After several months of working on it sporatically, it was finally done. "Bead me, bead me, bead me..." I heard one night while I was working on something else in my studio. I listened and many hours later the piece was finally done as you see it (but that's not to say that it couldn't change in the future!)
