This design began with roving and thread. The roving is needle felted to fabric, along with various yarns and fibers. Next the floral designs were free motion stitched with thread and the design was free motion quilted to hold all the fibers in place. This original design is composed of complimetary colors blue and orangeContinue reading “Deep Ocean Choreography

Hand dyed and discharged focal fabric, machine piecing, ric-rac accent, and free motion machine quilting. This is our side of the wall, I wonder what is on the other side.

Sewing machine project. Barbies Bopple Ball is a funky fun soft toy for any age.

Handwoven with strips of cloth in frame with nails at 2 opposite ends for warp. Barbies rag rug was woven this past summer while on a patio swing.

Hand winding & sewing onto background. The large white treescape of 2010 was designed to draw us in and embrace us with her peaceful serenity. It all began with a few small steps.

Hand knitting, hand sewing, tearing. The almost giddy excitement created by the bright, shimmering stainless steel open form above the strength of the tailored heavy paper somehow proves that opposites attract.

Created design for wicket. Used hand knitting & sewing on cylinder. Through the wicket: I think of this as a game for grown-ups, as aiming the open-ended cylinder through the arch may be more challenging than it looks. Good luck!

Shredded fabric, machine quilted. When I am driving and approach a hill that has tall trees on each side of the road I always expect to see Lake Michigan – even if I am in Deerfield, Champaign or Missouri. This quilt was created in Lenore Crawford’s Shredd Fabric Art Quilt Workshop.

Shredded fabric, machine quilted. My grandparents lived in Glencoe when I was growing up. Their backyard merged into ravines which my grandfather, Sam Feinberg, painted in different seasons. I own the winter ravine painting and have wanted to use it as inspiration for a piece for some time. When I took the IQI workship withContinue reading “Grandpa Sam’s Ravine

Machine pieced. Hand quilting. I love working with solid colors, either hand dyed or off the bolt, or sometimes from rummage sales.

Machine pieced and machine quilted. Machine quilted by Sue DiVarco. I wanted to use fabrics I hadn’t used but really liked from my collection.

Free motion machine, layering, quilting (machine). For me, the Banyon Tree represents life’s journey. Standing tall, strong, and setting down permanent roots.
Sandra Geis
Machine pieced, machine quilted. I always enjoy Kaffe quilts, but once in a while I just have to have one exactly like in the book. The machine quilting was done by my friend Anne Spiotta, Blue House Quilts.
Anne Goldberg
Fusible applique; machine quilting; bead and ribbon embellishment. This quilt was designed for the IQI June challenge. I’m iffy about using real elephants in a circus, but quilted elephants are OK.
Diane Greening
Machine pieced and quilted commercial fabrics with angelina embellishment. The design of the flying comet was inspired by the IQI Challenge fabric that looked like outer space to me, so I used it for the background.
