Les Fleurs - Even though I don't generally do traditional or what I call Fru Fru quilts, I saw this quilt in QNM magazine and it just spoke to me. The quilt published in the magazine did not have the scalloped borders. The ladies at the About.com quilting forum told me it had to have scalloped borders and I took their very correct advice.
Clockwork Nebari - One of the most frustrating quilts I have made to date. And definately one of my favorites - now that is is finished. I look at it hanging on my wall, and I can't believe I made it.
LInda Schiffer - This is an original design -- a block I made for a friend's 50th birthday quilt (made by a sewing group we both belong to). I love turnips (still fresh from the garden soil is best!) so when I was told the theme for her quilt was fresh fruits or vegetables, this was a natural. :)
Interlaced Borders - This is another quilt I designed for a block of the month at my shop, Seminole Sampler, in Catonsville, MD. This one is twelve different foundation pieced borders and one (outer) appliqued border. I loved the bright colors on black.
Butterfly Garden - This is an original design I did as another block of the month quilt for my shop, Seminole Sampler, in Catonsville, MD. My parents and my family went on vacation on May to Calloway Gardens in Georgia. Among other beautiful things we saw there, we visited the Butterfly House and I took oodles of pictures. I developed the designs of the butterflies in this quilt very loosely based on the ones I photo'd in Ga. I love this quilt!
Threads of Japan - I designed this quilt as a block of the month for my shop, Seminole Sampler, in Catonsville, Md. It is one of my very most favorite quilts. This version was made by members of our staff -- the winner of the quilt was Patty Stenpeck. My own version (still unfinished) is a bit more scrappy, with beige backgrounds and mostly red and indigo prints.
This wall quilt measures 36"x25". The centers are folded using the pattern from "Fantastic Fabric Folding" by Rebecca Wat. In the center of that is an antique glass button.
Illusion - Quilt is made from new gradation fabrics by Benartex designed by Caryl Bryer Fallert. The pattern, Illusion, is by Caryl Bryer Fallert. Caryl's designs and now her fabric lines are great to work with and make striking quilts.
Harmonic Convergence - Quilt is made from the new Gradation Fabric by Benartex that Caryl Bryer Fallert designed. The pattern is Harmonic Convergence by Ricky Tims. Quilt was quilted on a long arm machine by Kathy Olson, Treasured Threads, Granbury, TX.
Soaring Compliments - Quilt is made from one of my hand dyed 24 Step Color Wheel Fabric and a Swirl Panel. The pattern, Soaring Compliments, is by Caryl Bryer Fallert. Caryl's patterns are great to utilize with my hand dyed fabric. Quilt was quilted on a long arm machine by Kathy Olson, Treasured Threads, Granbury, TX.
Wild Spinning Hexagon - Quilt is made from my hand dyed fabric. The pattern, Spinning Hexagon, is by Caryl Bryer Fallert. It is not paper pieced instead it is 1.5 inch strips sewed around the center hexagon.
Bird of Paradise - Quilt is made from my hand dyed fabric and is paper pieced. It has won several ribbons is local area quilt shows and was quilted on a long arm machine by Kathy Olson, Treasured Threads, Granbury, TX.
Birds in a Swirl - Quilt is made from one of my hand dyed swirl panels with black migrating birds by Caryl Bryer Fallert. I learned how to design the flying geese border from another pattern by Caryl Bryer Fallert, Flying Geese in a Curve. This quilt has won several first place ribbons in the local area quilt shows and a first place ribbon for the long arm machine quilting.
