What a playful pattern! The zipper shows on the back so cute. The mix of colors and patterns makes me smile. (Hand made yoyo’s. machine piecing and quilting.)

I took an on-line class in January 2021 with Carl Hentsch. He is a great teacher on-line! His templates work well. I used fat quarters to make the colorwheel work. Backgrounds are from my stash. (Foundation piecing, machine piecing. Quilted by Amy Parker, Evanston.)

This was a Mystery Quilt by Quilters Quest Quilt Shop starting in January 2021 on Zoom. Pieces were cut by my Accucut Cutter. Having steps revealed every two weeks kept me happily sewing during that C-19 winter. The colors show my support of Ukraine. (Machine piecing. Quilted by Amy Parker.)

Machine applique, machine quilted. Summer offers a great time to observe the phases of the moon. This summer had a lovely ‘Blue Moon’ which I had to include. What fun to make an Art Quilt!
