Green Glass Doors Gone Red

IQI Machine pieced; long arm quilted by Debbie Bookman. This is the result of an IQI workshop with Amy Walsh of Blue Underground Patterns. I used their Green Glass Doors pattern but chose to use red and black. Amy encouraged me to scrap it.

Dark Side – Modern Log Cabin

Café Cubano

Fusible applique – machine pieced & quilted by me. This was my first attempt at raw edge appliqué – saw the pattern and kit at the quilt show and I knew I needed a little shot of café Cubano!

Santa

Machine pieced and quilted by me. What’s better than Santa? Fun and easy quilt using the Santa panel.

Hidden River, City Lights

Melanie Anderson

Machine pieced, machine appliqué, machine quilted. I love scraps and I love using them up. This quilt is made of, primarily, a box of leftover strips from another project. I was thrilled with the result, and Amy Parker quilted it for me.

Safety in Numerals, 2016

Machine pieced and free motion quilted, machine applique. These are the scraps from a “One Block Wonder” I did last year. I am captivated by the leftover triangles and they make numbers for me. Can you see the date?

Xs and Os

Melanie Anderson

Machine pieced and free motion quilted. This is our guild’s 30th Quilt-In Anniversary Quilt. All of the signatures of participants are on the back, nestled in X’s. The song X’s and O’s was on the radio a lot while I was quilting it.
