Spring in My Step - Made for the New Quilts from Old Favorites Contest for 2010 - Sunflower, but not accepted into the finalists. Three variations of the Sunflower block combined with stepping stone sashing and spring colors. Crystal beads added for embellishment. (photo by gregory case photography)
Crazy Curves in Batiks - Done in a variety of batiks purchased at Hancocks of Paducah. Quilted on a Gammill Statler Stitcher using an edge-to-edge design and doing an inside trim and different motif in random circles to accentuate them.
leftovers - A friend in England Slyvia Woods made me a quilt using strips of left over material.
I utilized her idea to use the material leftover from a quilt I made for Andy and Maryann.
Pine leaves - This is a round robin quilt. I asked members of the group to make a pine leaf for me giving them a photo of a stylied bright colour pine leaf.
Then with the blocks I got back I arranged them anad made the wall hanging.
Tequila Sunrise - I used Judy B Dales book "Curves in Motion quilts and techniqes" to design this quilt.
I did not use her technique of 1/4" seams, I instead used Bonder web and then machine stitch
over the edges.
A round the garden - Made the blocks in 1993 in a class on Balitmore quilts.
Designed the border and put the quilt together in 2004. The border applique is machine done.
Mardi Gras - This quilt was for my oldest daughter. I quilted the blocks individually and then joined them. The back became a checker board pattern and the upper corner blocks were hand quilted.
Our Pets - I saw this fabic and didn't know how to use it till I thought of this pattern. I just love the puppies and kittens and it does bring smiles to faces.
The Shirts Off My Back - Nick's mom hired me to make this quilt using his tshirts for his 17th birthday. Thankfully she gave me plenty of time and it took a lot longer than I expected! His birthday is on Wednesday and I hope he is thrilled!!
He is a friend of my son's and visited with us in Sept 2008. He knew I was making the quilt but maybe has forgotten by now. His mom said he is the kid that enjoys and remembers all the memories so I think this quilt will make him happy!
It is extra-long twin for his future dorm room.
Southwestern Table Runner & Placemats - Purchased fabric for table runner when I saw the project but didn't even start it until 2009 and finished it this year. The salmon main print included fabric I intended for placemats years ago to match the window valances I made and used in my dining room. I reused the valance fabric for the backing on this project.
California Bound - A Holstein Cow driving a late modle cheve to California. The idea came from California Milk Advisory Board line of Adds where California Cows are happy Cows.
Name of Maker: Students of MLC, Beth Gallo, Kathy Strelko
Journey to Independence - The students at MLC, which educates handicapped young adults to live independently, made the blocks for this quilt, which brought $3,400 at the school's annual fundraiser.
