Orchid Study I

Stephanie Nordlin

Fused appliqué, free-motion quilted and thread painted. A photo was manipulated in Photoshop for color, printed and traced to make the appliqué pattern.

P Cubed

Stephanie Nordlin

Fused appliqué, machine quilted and embroidered, hand beaded. Motifs are in Prime numbers, Primary colors and the background is Primordial.

Vera Ann

Katie Ordover

Machine pieced & longarm quilted. I made this quilt for my cousin, Vera Ann, who was named after her dear great grandmother. It is based on the “Oops a Daisy” pattern with original appliqué design. I always add a bit of black to my baby quilts for sophistication.

Not So Easy Pieces

Beth Polonsky

Machine pieced & machine quilted. I took a class with Margaret Miller. I wasn’t real fond of the colors and the “calico” prints. So after many many years I decided to “round robin” in batiks. I love the transition from old fabrics to new.

Green Apples

Marilyn Pospishil-Greve

Hand pieced and hand quilted. Not a machine stitch on this quilt. I’ve always been drawn to the apple core pattern. After purchasing a new “retro recliner” I needed a “nap quilt” to throw on the couch. All the fabrics came from my stash except one.

Spinning Light

Marilyn Pospishil-Greve

Hand pieced and hand quilted. No machine stitching. Inspired by the grape fabric and playing with two sizes of triangles, I came up with this pattern. Being a beginner quilter I had no idea how difficult it would be to use Insul-Bright as a batting: I broke lots of needles.
