Mystery Mistake Quilt

Nell Thorpe

Machine sewn and quilted. This is a good example of a quilt pattern gone wrong! And we quilters know that even if 2 wrongs don’t make a right, 7 or 8 wrongs can make a new quilt pattern. (Almost half the circle centers face the wrong way).

Mon Amour

Lampkins Tracy

Hand dyed (bleached), layered fused fabric, hand quilted. A play on the Chicago flag. Had a lot of fun bleaching the turquoise batik. Cutting out the layered skyline was tedious, but well worth it. It turned out beautifully.

Hope

Lampkins Tracy

Fused fabrics, hand quilted. This is a piece inspired by the election art work of the 2008 election. My first attempt at a portrait quilt; think it turned out great & it was a lot of fun.
