Ooh! These Colors!
Copper MorningLinny Coale Freeman
The brilliant red flowers and shimmering waters of Lake Michigan inspired me to paint this piece. I love the deep reds, lush oranges and pinks, dazzling coppers and bright warm greens that are abundant in the landscape. (Hand painted with fiber reactive dyes; batik process using hot wax; satin silk fibers.)
Yellow MorningLinny Coale Freeman
This piece was a direct inspiration from my summer trip to the northern shores of Lake Michigan. I love to work with bold strong colors, creating vibrant contrasts of light. (Hand painted with fiber reactive dyes; batik process using hot wax; satin silk fibers.)
Four MoonsAnne Goldberg
At the beginning of Covid we were given four themes over a period of four months. Upper left is “Home”. Upper right is :Nature”. Lower left is “What You Miss”. Lower right is “What You Want in the Future”. (Machine applique and piecing. Hand embroidery.)
Salamander OneAnne Goldberg
This is the first embroidery I have done in many years. I learned a lot while doing it, and I plan to do more. (Hand embroidery, machine quilting)
Lucy in the Sky with DiamondsAnne Goldberg
This is one of my favorite Beatles songs, so I welcomed the chance to make it into the quilt. I couldn’t decide how to outline the figure until I saw a video of Ricky Tims showing his Sew Twisted stitch. I knew that was what I needed. (Machine piecing, applique and quilting.)
All That PizazzMarsha Gordon
This is a fun, improvisational, design-as-you-go technique creating an impression of colorful stained glass windows. (Stitch and flip technique.)
KaleidoscopeMarsha Gordon
A fun technique with an element of surprise that will inspire anybody’s creativity. Long arm quilting by quilter. (One Block Wonder – uses 6 identical triangles to create a kaleidoscope-like design. The hexagons are then arranged to create the overall quilt design.)
LegacyMarsha Gordon
