Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Anne Goldberg

This is one of my favorite Beatles songs, so I welcomed the chance to make it into the quilt. I couldn’t decide how to outline the figure until I saw a video of Ricky Tims showing his Sew Twisted stitch. I knew that was what I needed. (Machine piecing, applique and quilting.)

It’s Not All Black and White

Anne Goldberg

Machine pieced and quilted. This quilt is made from seven strips of fabric sewn together, then cut into squares and triangles, and then resewn to make this pattern, which is called “Hidden Wells”.

Koi Pond

Hand and machine pieced; hand appliqué and embroidery; hand quilted. I like watching koi from above.

Summer Garden

Anne Goldberg

Hand pieced and quilted. Hand embroidered. This doll quilt (with a matching doll) was made for a contest. I didn’t win the contest, but I had a lot of fun making the quilt.

Circus Poster 1 – The Elephants

Anne Goldberg

Fusible applique; machine quilting; bead and ribbon embellishment. This quilt was designed for the IQI June challenge. I’m iffy about using real elephants in a circus, but quilted elephants are OK.

Cow Pies

Anne Goldberg

Machine pieced, appliquéd and quilted. This quilt was displayed at the AQS Quilt Show in Des Moines, IA in 2013 as part of Mary Lou Weidman’s cow quilt series. As with all the quilts in that series, the cow itself is based on Mary Lou’s design for her Purple Cow. The rest of Cow PiesContinue reading “Cow Pies

Facing Another Challenge

Anne Goldberg

Machine pieced and quilted. The real challenge was working with these fabrics, as I would never have chosen them myself. Now that the quilt is finished, I really like it. I needed to be shaken up.
