Four Moons
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)
Come See the Clowns (Circus Poster #2)Anne Goldberg
Machine appliqued, pieced and quilted. I really like clown clothes.
Good Things in Small PackagesAnne Goldberg
Machine pieced, hand quilted. I had only a small piece of the flowered fabric, but I wanted it to be a big part of quilt. That’s why this is a small quilt.
Arizona SunriseAnne Goldberg
NSNG Fusible applique. Machine stitched and quilted. I go to a dude ranch in Arizona every year. The sunrise is my reward for getting up early.
Go FishAnne Goldberg
NSNG Machine pieced and quilted. I have always liked fish as a design element. This fabric just begged me to take it home.
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.)

Machine pieced and quilted. This quilt is made from seven strips of fabric sewn together, then cut into squares and triangles, and then resewn to make this pattern, which is called “Hidden Wells”.
Koi PondAnne Goldberg
Hand and machine pieced; hand appliqué and embroidery; hand quilted. I like watching koi from above.
Summer GardenAnne Goldberg

Circus Poster 1 – The ElephantsAnne Goldberg
Fusible applique; machine quilting; bead and ribbon embellishment. This quilt was designed for the IQI June challenge. I’m iffy about using real elephants in a circus, but quilted elephants are OK.
