Fall Gourds

Martha Ross-Mockaitis

Batik fabrics, fused applique and machine quilting. I’m now only using the MistyFuse fusible product for applique. This was so fun to make!

Magic Inch

Martha Ross-Mockaitis

Machine pieced and quilted. This uses the Modern Quilt Studio’s “Magic Inch”. This was a true challenge for me – two months to make! Next time I’ll skip the sashing…

Pain Scale #1

Martha Ross-Mockaitis

Machine pieced & quilted, paper piecing. After taking a class by Roberta Levin at the IQI Quilt-In Retreat using this pattern for a table runner, I found this pattern visually captured my personal up and down, bright and dark experiences of physical pain over the last 20 years.

Color Squared

Martha Ross-Mockaitis

Machine pieced. Long arm quilting by Windy City Quilters, Sally Evanshank. I am in love with silk noile! The shimmer the blocks have is delicious.

IQI Challenge

Martha Ross-Mockaitis

Machine stitching of selvedge pieces. Machine quilted at home. I used only selvedges I collected or guild members gave me. The white fabric was added to meet the guild requirements.

Mirage

Martha Ross-Mockaitis

Handpieced by Martha and long-arm quilted by Sue DiVarco. I really enjoy working with Batik fabric. This was challenging and delightful to make. I love the large graphic image. (“Mirage” pattern by Laurie Shifrin Designs)
