The Geisha is thread painted and appliqued on the background.  Machine pieced and quilted.

A tribute to the Russian illustrator and painter, Ivan Bilibin, using a selection of his figures, backgrounds and surrounds combined to form a new whole.  The inside is appliquéd and painted and the border painted.  It is mostly in silk, some of which was embroidered prior to applying, with a little cotton.

Or maybe I should call it "Never say Never".  I have been making bed quilts for years but really didn't see that I would want a wall hanging.  Well, I made the "Happiness" wallhanging from Jacqueline de Jonge for one sister.  Then I made it for another sister.  Wait!  I want one!  So I finally made one for myself.  Really like it!  Looks great hanging at the end of the hall.  

My nephew Rob just loves Norwegian Troll dolls and has a large collection, So I made him this quilt  to hang on his wall with 4 Trolls. It is appliqued with hand painted faces and machine quilted

Quilt for a boy with hand embroidery. Sea, ships and adventure that still need a real man. Quilt comes with a pillow.

This quilt was made in July 2015 as part of the Row by Row Challenge in the USA and Canada.  Participating Quilt shops are giving away a free pattern (row), you collect as many patterns as you like and create a quilt, row by row.  you must use at least 8 rows.  If you are the first person to bring in a completed, quilted, bound, labeled, quilt to a participating shop you win a prize. I won a fantastic prize from the Golden Gese Quilt Shop ~ thank you so much I love all my new fabrics :)

I finished binding this quilt last night, and so excited to share my quilt with all of you.  I used the 11 rows I collected from different places, 10 from USA and 1 from Canada.   My husband and  I enjoy our visits to new quilt shops and I love making purchases of some fine fabrics to bring home.   All the blocks I chose are things our two grandsons ages 3 and 4 enjoy like fishing, tractors, and dragons (in Lake Champlain )  .   It is a two sided quilt, 5 rows on the front and 6 rows on the back.  

In a class for learning curved piecing, we were supposed to use our own photos, I didn't have one - only a request from my granddaughter to make her a "realistic Japanese cherry tree." After a couple years of fabric hunting, I was ready to do this. The class instructor added one more fabric and basically let me go at it. It is machine pieced, quilted on a domestic machine, put on a stretcher and framed. It has been shown once, with a first in its class and "viewers' choice." It is 32/5 x 47.5 plus the frame.

A gift to my son upon completion of graduate school. He selected the fabrics and I suggested the pattern. Quilting was done by Barbara Bregman of Lupine Quilts in Silver Spring, MD. 

 

This mini quilt was made for the competition "Riga Quilt Festival 2014". You can see all the work and the details in my blog http://korolevskie-zabavu.blogspot.com

Wave Song is a true miniature Rhapsody quilt. It depicts mathematical and oceanic wave shapes. I challenged myself to machine applique very tiny pieces. Ricky Tims hand-dyes and Superior Threads Masterpiece were used in its construction. Jured into Houston, Road to California and Paducah.

This is part of a series of 'DNA' quilts that use hexagons and colors to represent the bases. The first in the series did not try to represent real sequence, but just represented the double helix shape. A more complex one that is still in progress incorporates sequence and a mutation of academic importance to my colleagues. The current iteration, IPP (isoleucine-proline-proline), is simpler, and represents a tripeptide (3 amino acid 'protein') that occurs in milk and has physiologic function. This one and its companion, GSH (glutathione), were made for show and sale in the Baylor College of Medicine Graduate Student Art Show and Auction. Proceeds benefit Texas Children's Hospital. See http://susieturn.blogspot.com/2015/07/more-dna.html for details of design and construction.

I saw this quilt on the old TQS site 5 years and contacted the quilter for the pattern.  She indicated that the pattern was no longer being printed, but sold me her copy.  I made this quilt with all the blocks and it just grew and grew.  I love hand applique and this quilt took 4 years to applique, but when I was on the home stretch, got it finished very quickly.

She won Reserve Champion in our local county fair and Best in Show in the Colorado State Fair.  She was at HMQS in May, 2015 and received a Teacher's Award.  One issue with her is because she is so big she doesn't get into a lot of quilt shows.

I absolutely love this quilt and she will be living with me.

When this quilt came out as the BOM, I really didn't care for UNTIL I went to a TQS taping last November and they had it there in person.  Well, she spoke to me to make her.  She will be going to a new owner the end of July as, I wasn't planning to sell her, but this woman really wanted her, woohoo.  It certainly is a fussy quilt, but very fun quilt to look at.

This is what I ended up doing with my half square triangles from the TQS exchange a few years ago.  I've actually had the quilt finished for more than a year - finally made myself sit down and bind it!  It's an Edyta Sitar pattern she calls Mountain Top.  Another traditional name for it is Railroad Crossing. 

"Modern Quilter" is made with commercial cottons (confetti technique in background), and machine quilted with
netting, then appliqued. (22.5 X 16).

This is another quilt club project using the Stars and Stripes block, that I used my favorite fabrics to make it.  I have so many projects using this fabric combination that my home decor theme goes from room to room.

It consists of squares, rectangles, and half square triangles.  Just love it!

I belong to a quilt club that my friend is president of, and I drive 50 minutes one way to support her and attend the meetings twice a month.
This quilt used my favorite fabric combination, used in my bed quilt, and I've used in quite a few projects.  First time making flying geese type blocks that were folded back and stitched making cathedral window type blocks with a contemporary twist to them.

 

This is my first try at paper-piecing and a king-sized quilt.  During the class, we could select which stars we wanted from the book, '50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars' by Carol Doak.

I used fabric from my stash, the batiks, my mother's stash (the yellow) and new fabrics, the print and associated prints.  The print that repeats in all the stars was my starting off point in selecting fabric for this quilt.   With all the bright colors, the width of the black sashing was important as it calmed and reined in the colors.  After years of pondering how to have this quilt long-arm quilted, I finally had it quilted this year and it is awaiting the binding.
