Japan 1: Steps

Nona C Flores

Machine pieced and machine quilted. This is the first of 3 planned quilts using Japanese or Japanese-inspired fabric and traditional Western blocks. The quilting is by Sue DiVarco.

Homage to Giverny

Nona C Flores

Fused appliqué, inkjet-printed photos on cotton and silk, TAP transfer of text, long-arm quilting. I have had the pleasure of visiting Claude Monet’s home and gardens at Giverny during different seasons, and have always found it enchanting, especially the Waterlily Pond. The long-arm quilting and binding was done by Sue DiVarco.

Spring Bouquet

Nona C Flores

Pre-cut fusible-backed appliqué, topstitched in black thread, long-arm quilting. I have long admired the appliquéd Baltimore Album quilts and was immediately drawn to this Edyta Sitar design. The black top-stitching was meant to look like pen-and-ink embellishment. Sue DiVarco did the beautiful long-arm quilting background.

Traces of Kandinsky

Iva Freeman

Machine pieced, machine quilted. I love to use the colors Kandinsky so often used in his work. Batiks, stripes, checks and dotted fabrics are so exciting.
