Let’s Go
Barbara Feinberg

Machine pieced and quilted. A started this in Harriet Bertsche’s stained glass quilt class at the 2012 Quilt-In. It is for my nephew who loves all trucks, cars and trains.

Shredded fabric art quilt; machine quilting. When the December 12, 2014 issue of Science was published the cover photo of a hoatzin bird captured my imagination – wondering how birds evolved.

Fantasy Cone Flowers

Reverse appliqué by hand, hand quilted. Started in Teri Tope’s Reverse Appliqué class in February 2015 through IQI. This was a great project to carry around to work on as time permitted.

Homage to Giverny
Nona C Flores

Fused appliqué, inkjet-printed photos on cotton and silk, TAP transfer of text, long-arm quilting. I have had the pleasure of visiting Claude Monet’s home and gardens at Giverny during different seasons, and have always found it enchanting, especially the Waterlily Pond. The long-arm quilting and binding was done by Sue DiVarco.

Spring Bouquet
Nona C Flores

Pre-cut fusible-backed appliqué, topstitched in black thread, long-arm quilting. I have long admired the appliquéd Baltimore Album quilts and was immediately drawn to this Edyta Sitar design. The black top-stitching was meant to look like pen-and-ink embellishment. Sue DiVarco did the beautiful long-arm quilting background.

Rhapsody
Iva Freeman

Machine pieced; machine quilted. I am driven to use black and white fabrics, and like to see a “modern” looking result.

Round Midnight
Iva Freeman

Machine pieced and machine quilted. Am partial to the contrast of black and white.

Summer Breeze
Iva Freeman

Machine pieced & machine quilted. Machine quilted by Sue DiVarco

Batik painting on satin silk with fiber reactive dyes. This amazing flower bloomed in my garden in December, leaving me with a message of hope for the coming year.

Star Gypsies
Linny Freeman

Batik painting on satin silk with fiber reactive dyes. This piece was inspired by our amazing connections that we make from the earth to the sky.

Ballerinas on Point

Machine pieced and quilted. These ballerinas make me smile.

Cow Pies
Anne Goldberg

Machine pieced, appliquéd and quilted. This quilt was displayed at the AQS Quilt Show in Des Moines, IA in 2013 as part of Mary Lou Weidman’s cow quilt series. As with all the quilts in that series, the cow itself is based on Mary Lou’s design for her Purple Cow. The rest of Cow PiesContinue reading “Cow Pies
