Squarey Plus

Mary Meyers

Machine pieced and machine quilted by self. I made the blocks for this quilt at IQI’s March workshop. It was fun to create and piece. It is a great ‘lap’ warmer for watching TV on cold winter nights.

A Flutter of Purple

Elizabeth Mini

Machine pieced, machine quilted. Pat Barry of Racine, Wisconsin (long arm) quilted. A very labor intensive quilt to piece together and cut out but an overall pleasing look.

Wacky Polkadots

Ardis Mistak

The fabric for this quilt came from a Polka Dot fabric exchange I did with a quilt group online with quilters around the country.

Christmas Joy

Carole Naughton

Machine appliqué, and embellished by hand. Sharon Ritzler and Carole Naughton are grandmas together and we decided to make this quilt for our children and grandchildren for Christmas.

Variety in Friendship

Cheryl Paras

Machine pieced. Long arm quilting by Maureen. Variety of color adds interest in this pattern used by IQI in their Quilt-In Friendship Quilt.

Serape

Amy Parker

Machine pieced, quilted on a longarm – Evanston Quilt Company (my own business). This quilt represents a section of the border on an antique Mexican serape, woven in the 1880’s. The serape measured about 5′ by 8′, and the horizontal parallelograms were approximately 2″ long. The precision of the weaving was remarkable.
