Sunrise over Lake Michigan

Diane Greening

Machine pieced, hand quilted. I started this quilt around 2003 when I lived in Barrington. I finished the piecing in California and named it ‘Sunset over the Pacific’ but it ended up in my UFO pile. Another move, the quilt came out again for quilting and a return to its original name.

Burney Falls

Diane Greening

Pieced, fused, appliqued and painted; couched trims. Burney Falls State Park is a little jewel of a park in Northern California, a long way from any freeway.

Dancing Reds

Caryl Rae Hancock

Hand marbled and plain wools; serger construction. All the books on marbling say that you can’t marble wool – I figured it out.

Spring

Caryl Rae Hancock

Hand-marbled polished cotton, hand-made bias tape, machine-sewn, hand-made frogs, poly lining. It was great fun working out the marbled “puzzle” pieces. Jacket size M.

Jared

Marcia Lee Hartnell

Machine pieced and quilted on home sewing machine. This was changed from a large quilt pattern. When I tired of making blocks I decided 2 small quilts would do. This and the companion demonstrate how a different color works with the same block.
