Of courseContinue reading “Lotus Sampler

Painted, screened & stamped in many layers; machine stitched. The Aurora Borealis was far north, but Chicago had its own light show with a gorgeous sunset August 4, 2010. Feeling inspired, I was in my wet studio the next morning, painting bright colors and watching the colors run, forming the “Southern Light” series.

Hand-dyed, painted, machine stitched. In my “Impressionist Landscapes in Fabric” series, I have gradually moved from layering of fabric to more whole-cloth surface design and from mostly representational to more impressionistic. I start with white fabric, dye it, screen it, put color in, take color out, paint it and stitch it, allowing the piece toContinue reading “Slow Dance

Machine pieced, hand quilted. I didn’t really cut and sew all those little pieces. The fabrics were strip pieced, then cut crosswise and alternated.

Virginia Cruz Carlson
Machine appliquéd, machine quilted, hand dyed, stenciled & painted.This piece was inspired by an architectural boat tour. It is the first of an urbanization series that I am exploring, especially how it emotionally affects us and the feelings that are evoked. Look closely…the borders are photographs of the unfinished quilt.
Sabrina Cassidy
Pieced, quilted, embellished with felted wool. I loved the strawberry and watermelon created by Carrie Nelson. I designed the pear and plum using the same techniques. The pincushions are filled with crushed walnut shells.

Machine pieced. Machine quilted by Roberta Levin. This is a graduation gift for my niece, Kathleen (University of Michigan, 2010). I hope it will remind her of good times at her alma mater, although it was intended to accompany her there after her New Trier graduation. As my first quilt, it is far from perfect.Continue reading “Go Blue!

Machine pieced. Machine quilted by Sue DiVarco. This quilt is from a class at Quilters Heaven. I made it in a day – without borders. That process took longer to decide than to make the quilt.
Nancy Cordero
Nuno-felted kimono jacket of black silk, merino wool &metallic mohair yarns. Designs of metallic roses on top; stems on the bottom & leaves of silk. I wanted this dressy yet as simple as possible – it is two pieces and two stitch lines. I also wanted something that would fit the larger figures although itContinue reading “Night Lites
