Jeremy’s Graduation Quilt

Julie Johnson

Machine pieced and quilted. My honorary nephew, Jeremy, is graduating next June 2015 from West Point and I wanted to make him a quilt with West Point’s colors (black, gray and gold).

Barn Raising Stash Bust

Kathy Jurevicius

Self-mitered, no bias edge block technique by Anita Grossman Solomon; machine quilted. I enjoyed the process of arranging my fabric scraps into a series of light-to-dark gradations and the ease of using vellum paper for piecing.

Too Sweet

Pat Kroth

Heat bonded fiber fragments, candy wrappers, found objects; toys, paperclips, buttons, trapped threads. Tulle overlays. Machine stitched. After my four kids left me a deposit of candy wrappers behind the couch one year after halloween, I started adding to the collection and including them in my work.

Twist of Lime

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed fabric, heat bonded applique, machine embroidered and stitched with cotton, wool, rayon and polyester threads. Machine needle-felted with wool fibers. I trained for and competed in three full Ironman Triathlon events. During a particularly hot day out on the bike course I motivated myself by thinking of a tall cool drink.

Maple Dance

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed and sun-printed cotton, machine stitched. Fall is my favorite season, not only for nature’s beautiful display, but for the winds of change that it brings.

Blooming Sweet

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed and commercial fabrics, candy wrappers, buttons, vegetable bags, tulle, machine stitched. As a parent of 4 kids, over the years I have found candy wrappers stashed behind the couch and in the back of the van. Now I have chosen to put them to good use.

Tide Pool

Pat Kroth

Heat bonded fiber fragments: cottons, cotton blends, lace, satin, ribbons, trims and threads. Tulle overlays. Machine embellished with cotton and rayon, and metallic threads. This is one in a series of pieces about water – its beauty, power and inspiration.

Woods Ramble

Pat Kroth

Mixed content fiber fragments, trapped threads and yarns, multiple sheer overlays, machine stitched. Walking in the woods is a quiet place for rejuvenation and inspiration for me.

Nine Lives

Cindy Kuo

Photoshop, digital printing on fabric, hand stitching. Over the years we have had a number of cats – 9 in total. Each one of them with their own personality. Only the first 3 are no longer with us but their funny little quirks live on in our hearts. From top to bottom:

View From Above

Tracy Lampkins

Hand applique & hand quilted. This piece was designed to be the view of a koi pond from above. I challenged myself by placing 3 prints together & no two solids next to each other.

Vision

Tracy Lampkins

Hand applique & hand quilted. Design started out as a doodle on a small piece of paper. Loved working on this and selecting the vibrant colors.

Betty’s Escapades

Sue Lazar

Hand appliqued, machine pieced and quilted. The inspiration for this quilt is my wonderful mom, Idele Lazar. She introduced me to sewing and Betty Boop. Each T-shirt and the two fabric panels represent a story about her. This was my first T-hirt quilt class taught by Marilyn Mitchel at Quilters’ Destination. Long arm quilted byContinue reading “Betty’s Escapades

Abundance

Jane Lee

Fabric collage on silk, hand-dyed. Grapes are the symbol of abundance.

The Cells III

Jooseal Lee

Wet felted and Nuno felted, hand dyed, embroidered. The world seen through a microscope is very beautiful and mysterious. Hope you can imagine the many different delicate designs and shapes of the cells.
