Maggy’s T-Shirt Memory

Ruth Harrison

Machine pieced and quilted. These t-shirt fronts belonged to Maggy, a lovely young woman who is no longer among us, but whose spirit touched all who knew her.

Blue Flax with a touch of Poppy

Marcia Lee Hartnell

Background of shredded fabric covered with tulle. Flowers added then another layer of tulle. 3D embroidered flowers & butterfly added last. This was inspired by the blue flax in my yard with an occasional poppy in the mix.

Butterfly Fantasy

Marcia Lee Hartnell

Machine appliqué, embellished with yarn couching, paint sticks and beads. After completing a class project I wanted to try another piece using Cara Gulati’s 3D technique.

Farm Yard

Marcia Lee Hartnell

Paper pieced embellished with polymer clay (fences, beaks, ears, cats and tail), yarn couching, feathers, fused appliqué, beading and braided fiber. “Farm Yard” was fun to create with all the embellishments. Each time a new element was added another idea came to mind.

Heads or Tails

Marcia Lee Hartnell

Pieced blocks, with machine embroidered blocks embellished with polymer clay eyes & noses and beads. The Heads or Tails guild challenge inspired me to complete this. Adapted from an old pattern in my collection.

Lessons from Mama

Marcia Lee Hartnell

Machine pieced and machine quilted on home machine. The blocks were completed in a quilt shop block of the month class series. The border was changed from the original pattern.
