My first quilt: quilting done using masking tape to keep the lines straight on my domestic |
|---|---|
 |
A quilt I made for my husband's car. Quilting same as above : masking tape and domestic sewing machine. Quilt was supposed to use square-in-a-square ruler. I got out my gridded paper and figured out the measurements myself. |
 |
A small lap quilt made for my high school reunion (give-away). Quilting done free-motion on my domestic. Original pattern called for the quilt to be two more rows, but I made it smaller. |
 |
This Hidden Star Garden is the quilt you see in the background of my site. This is the quilt that made me decide I no longer wanted to use the domestic machine (although it took me awhile to really get to that point). The quilt is a king size and was a gift for my brother and sister-in-law. |
 |
I've made several of these table-runners. I love the mix of random squares in the center and the crazy quilting for the border. I used all the specialty stitches on my domestic machine to mimic crazy quilting. |
 |
This small wallhanging is the last quilt I did on the domestic. The inside of the windows are free motion as is the border (which used a template for the design). The sashings are cross-hatched (and no, I don't know why I decided to do it - it was not fun). Not only, that but my very expensive domestic machine decided it didn't like free-motioning and took three trips to the sewing machine doctor before it would even behave enough to get me done with the quilt. The longarm got purchased within a month. |
 |
I haven't quilted this one yet, but the fabric is hand-dyed. The pattern is Ricky Tim's Harmonic Convergence with some butterflies cut out of another fabric piece. The plan is to do some sort of custom quilting around the butterflies. |
 |
Made this quilt for a co-worker who just had a boy. Most of my quilts have been rather girl-ish so this was a nice departure. It was just a panel so couple of borders, some edge-to-edge quilting on the longarm, put the binding on and it was gone. |
 |
This quilt was made in support of the Tecumseh Schools Orchestra first annual auction. |
 |
This quilt was pieced in 2006 but I didn't finish it until last year. This quilt is a tribute to the religion I follow - the Baha'i Faith. The quilt itself is from QuiltMaker magazine and consists of paper-pieced log cabins. All of the quilting motifs were custom designed and digitized. The four large corners each have a hummingbird. All of the log cabin blocks have a floral design which is repeated from the hummingbird motif. The center of the quilt is a digitized embroidery of the Baha'i Faith "ringstone symbol". |
 |
This is another quilt I made for last year's Tecumseh School's Orchestra fund raiser. We are trying to get enough money to build an orchestra facility on to the high school. The small wallhanging is fusible applique with longarm edge-to-edge in the background areas (the applique part being masked off). The edges of the figure were stitched using invisible thread. |
 |
This is the quilt that's on the machine right now. The piecing is a pattern called "Christmas Pickle" although I think of it as a garden. And because its my garden, it has tons of thistles in it. |
