Amy's Western Stars - Made with Western and cowboy fabrics, for my daughter, who loves cowboys and horses and all things Western, and especially stars. This is her birthday present.
Floral Towers - I made this for my good friend Elizabeth in Houston, with a lot of help from artistic friends at home in Venezuela. The color placement was fairly difficult to get right.
Baby airplanes - My nephew, who is a pilot, had his first baby. I had fun designing this quilt for their son. I also enjoy incorporating machine embroidery into my quilts.
Winter in Nebraska - The Cardinal was thread-painted and the raw-edge appliqued to painted canvas. I used cotton stuffing to create the snow on the branches.
Ramblin Rose Meets Jamestown - This was a BOM purchased in 2007 from Keepsake Quilting. I pieced the Sampler Blocks in 2007 and the Log Cabin Blocks in 2008. In 2009 I saw the Cotton Theory Method being used and decided to make my blocks into the quilt Log Cabin Shuffle using Betty Cottons Method of Machine quilting. Each block was quilted separately and then assembled the quilt using Connector Strips. Each Block has a different fabric on the back of the quilt. I varied her pattern slightly (mainly on the back of the quilt) and only put 2 borders on instead of 3.
I presented the quilt to my daughter and son in law for their 8th wedding anniversary on July 5th, 2011.
Mozart - Photo printed on fabric. The rose is named Mozart hence the name of the quilt. This quilt was designed for a mini exhibition on July 3rd 2011. You can see more here: http://www.normahornung.dk/12951390
The rose in the vase is the real Mozart
Bunny Cot Quilt - reverse - The original design had the bunny on the front but I quilted hearts on the front and backed the quilt with fleece and appliqued the bunny design on the back.
Bunny Cot Quilt - This was my second pieced quilt made as a donation for my local children's hospice.I have also posted pics of the reverse of the quilt.
Wedding Whisperings - The middle section and carpenter wheel aroound it is from the book. I emailed Jan Krentz for suggestions on how to enlarge it to Queen size and she played on the computer and sent me the picture of this. I had figure out how to draft it and I think every seam went in 3 times. I named it Wedding Whisperings because the fabric used is Alex's Whisperings line which started it all. I loved that fabric line and when Jan's book came out at the same time w/this on the cover with similar colorings it really caught my eye.
Starlit Flowers - Our local quilt show hosts a border challenge every year using colors and patterns as the theme for each border. We always end up with the greatest quilts.
Geese in My Garden - Eleanor Burns published this pattern in a quilting magazine & was designed for a single bed. I amended the pattern to be queen-size. The fabrics are 30's reproduction fabrics on white. Floral rows are hand appliqued & the flying geese are machine pieced. The quilt is machine quilted on my Elna Quilters Dream with a swirly pattern quilted in the white areas around the geese & flowers and curving feather in the border. The picture does not show the finished edge which is scalloped and bound by the same green in the stems & leaves. The quilt was given to my nephew & his wife in celebration of their marriage prior to Chad leaving for Afganistan- thankfully he is now safely home.
Seahorse Serendipity - I started this quilt at a two-day workshop in Maine with the fiber artist, Susan Carlson. For the applique, the fabric pieces were glued in place. After piecing it and sandwiching it together, I covered the surface with a sparkly tulle and heavily quilted it with invisible thread.
