Basement Boys 3

Cara novy-Bennewitz

Machine pieced & quilted. Last in the series of quilts to be used in the basement for sleepovers. Started as a different pattern – hated it – cut it up – and voila!

Bouquet From Amelia’s Garden

Rita O'Connor

Hand appliqued, hand quilted, machine pieced. This is my first appliqued quilt. It’s the result of a block-of-the-month class sponsored by Quilter’s Heaven and taught by Joanne Parks.

Curved Log Cabin #3

Maureen O'Connor

Technique This last version of the same pattern is scrap for both sides. Lights for the fat log, and darks for the skinny logs. The size of the logs is the same as #1 which is the way the pattern is written.

Roseville Beauties

Rita O'Connor

Hand appliqued, embroidery, machine pieced, machine quilted. The pattern for this wall hanging was designed by Maggie Walker and features Roseville Pottery and beautiful flowers. Fabrics for five blocks came from Maggie’s kit. I chose the rest. Quilting by Sue DiVarco. Design Source – Maggie Walker pattern.

Vera Ann

Katie Ordover

Machine pieced & longarm quilted. I made this quilt for my cousin, Vera Ann, who was named after her dear great grandmother. It is based on the “Oops a Daisy” pattern with original appliqué design. I always add a bit of black to my baby quilts for sophistication.
