Machine pieced and quilted, purchased hand dyed fabrics. The pattern evokes an ancient wooden door with metal studs on it, but this impression is softened by the faded fresco colors.

Fused machine applique embellished with beads, yarn, and 3D elements and machine quilted. The whimsicality of the pattern spsoke to me. The cherry theme was influenced by my summers in the cherry capital, Traverse City, Michigan. Some of the pattern elements were changed to reflect cherries.

Machine pieced background with fused applique accented with hand embroidery and beads. The background was finished waiting for inspiration. It was calling for additional embellishment. After a year of thinking and looking I found the butterflies and flowers.

Machine foundation pieced from scraps in 11″ strips that were joined, then sashed to make the quilt. The scraps were gleamed from many projects. Some were small fun designs. The bag of scraps seemed to grow larger as I worked.

Sterling metal bezal setting, soldering, metal texturing, jump ring making, kumihimo braiding. I love the way fiber techniques such as kumihimo make an unusual background for metal techniques and a beautiful stone.

Machine pieced, machine quilted, and hand quilted in variegated thread by maker. I began this quilt in 2005 as a “Buck-a-Block” program (created by Thangles) at A Touch of Amish in Barrington. Piecing the twelve blocks went quickly, but it took me several years to decide on the layout, borders, and quilting designs. Other projectsContinue reading “1930’s Delight
