Machine piecing and quilting. “Big Stitch” hand quilting. This quilt was the result of a 6 hour virtual class I took with the Modern Quilt Guild. Definitely outside my comfort zone, but I’m pleased with the result!

Hand applique and dense hand quilting. This was my carry-around hand work for many years and was stitched on in many places – including Hawaii when I was there for my son’s wedding.

Machine pieced, appliqued and quilted. Hand work for embellishments. Our guild challenge included 5 fabrics which we were to use. When I saw the the striped fabric I immediately pictured a zebra – so here it is!
Red EarthChris Deering
Machine pieced and custom machine quilted. My very own design resulting from a workshop with Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr. The fabrics were bought on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia and I wanted to have a very special design.
Checkerboard FlowersChris Deering
Hand appliqued and custom machine quilted. The hand applique took a long time – this was my carry-around project for a couple years. The quilting was a challenge (the cross hatching) and ufun (the custom work in each block).
Feathered Star MedallionChris Deering
Machine pieced and custom machine quilted. This was The Quilt Show’s Block of the Month in 2009. But there were so many pieces I didn’t get mine done until 2012!
Leopard and Old LaceChris Deering
Machine pieced and quilted. Made from a single piece of cloth from a book called “One Block Wonders”. Lots of fun playing with color and design but it takes a long time to piece.
