Hand appliquéd, embellished with beads, hand embroidered & hand quilted. I saw this pattern in a recent issue of “Australian Patchwork & Quilting”. It really spoke to me and I knew I had to make it. Loved working with all the beads & embroidery.

Machine pieced & quilted. Repurposing a quilt top that was not “gorgeous” was the focus of a Rayna Gillman workshop earlier this year. By cutting it up and repiecing the various sections I was able to make a project gone wrong into something dynamic.

Paper pieced; machine quilted by Sally Evanshank, Windy City Quilting. Thanks to my Electric Quilt software, I was able to uniquely set two traditional blocks into a very contemporary and vibrant design. Kaffe Fassett fabrics add to its electrifying brilliance.

Paper pieced; machine quilted by Sally Evanshank, Windy City Quilting. About a decade ago, I made a small quilt from a block called Lucky Dip. But depending on fabric placement, making and setting the block in a quilt could produce quite a number of different designs and I always wanted to try working with itContinue reading “Liberating Scraps: Sea of Waves Times Two

Paper pieced; machine quilted by Sally Evanshank, Windy City Quilting. My young cousin, Jonah, is part of an avid sailing family. When I saw the pattern in an issue of American Quilter, I knew it was perfect for a special gift honoring his birth. I even named the largest of the sailboats “The Jonah M.”

Paper pieced. Longarm quilted by Debbie Bookman. Over my many years of quiltmaking, my scrap collection is endless. I keep trying to reduce the amount but never quite make a dent. There are well over 100 different blue fabrics in this quilt and I still have more than enough to make at least one moreContinue reading “Stripping the Blues No. 2

Machine pieced, hand applique, hand embroidery, longarm quilted by Debbie Bookman. A gift for a special girl named Paisley. The heart blocks were embroidered during a trip to Ireland and two pieces of fabric on the back were purchased in Dublin; thus, there is an Irish connection.

Hand appliqued; longarm quilted by Debbie Bookman. I bought a pattern called London Tubes but did not know if I would ever make it. Then I learned a young friend had made her first trip to London. How appropriate! I asked her what colors she wanted in a quilt – red, blue, green! This isContinue reading “London Tubes for Sarah

Machine pieced; longarm quilted by Debbie Bookman I have been exploring the work of modern quilts. The pattern captured my imagination, but not the finished projects size. But it proved doable to make it larger, so I did. At 110 inches square, it more than adequately fits on our king size bed.

Hand painted, embellished, raw edge applique, and machine quilted. I bought a pattern for this quilt – and then did my own thing! The only resemble to the pattern is the actual applique. The rest is all my design. I used linen, silks, ribbons and yarns as well as batik cotton to make it.
