Birds in the GardenGeorgia Cibul
Machine pieced by Georgia Cibul. Machine quilted by Sue DiVarco. I loved doing this quilt because the fabric was so beautiful. The feeling of this quilt is that of peace and tranquility.
Chestnuts & VineGeorgia Cibul
Hand applique, machine piecing by Georgia Cibul. Machine quilted by Sue DiVarco. This quilt was a 6 month project from Pieceful Gatherings Quilt Shop. It was fun to do except for the many, many leaves. They took forever to do.

Catching the Brass RingChris Deering
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.
Working DogsSuzanne Ditsler
Wire – needle felting – sewing In this piece the “Working Dog” is depicted as “playing”, “dancing”, :walking” or loving their prey – rather than “working it”.
Tree HuggerSuzanne Ditsler
Needle felting, wire, beads Birch trees are a favorite. The image of a tree, blowing leaves and all one delicate color – makes me smile.
Penny TotemsSuzanne Ditsler
Felted wool – sewn – wire – embroidery. I love the geometry of the penny rug. I am also intrigued by the totem poles. The two together provide an interesting image.
Ring around the PosieSue DiVarco
Round Robin Challenge – machine piecing, hand applique, longarm quilting, embellished with buttons & yo-yo’s My 6 quilt bee friends challenged ourselves to do a Round Robin. Each made a Center block of our own choice of design & fabric, then sent it around the group, secretly. Following these design rules: Row 1 – triangles
Tisket A TasketSue DiVarco
Wool applique, machine pieced, longarm quilting, needlefelted wool My first wool applique project so I experimented with different types of wool. The background is wool coating – most wool scraps were purchased, but some I needlefelted from roving.

Two holes were drilled in each cork which were then sewn together with Perle cotton using a variation of the beading stitch Right Angle Weave. This piece is made up of more than 1200 white wine corks, which were collected over 30 years. No, I did not drink all that wine.
