A Child's World
|
|
Joan outdid herself this time! She embroidered many different vignettes depicting a child's favorite things to do...jumping on the bed, a sleepover, fishing, and so much more. SHe then combined it with a huge assortment of bright prints. What a beautiful job of combining the idea, the embroidery, the fabrics, and the workmanship is precise, as always!

Stephen is 8 years old, and he designed and pieced this quilt with the help of his Grandma. Not only did he choose the fabrcs himself, Grandpa raised the floor by the HQ16, and Stephen quilted this quilt by himself. Long arm quilters: notice the beautiful pantograph in the borders. Great job, Stephen!! Watch out, John Flynn and Ricky Timms!!

Bloomin' Nine Patch
|
|
Dorinda worked hard to finish this quilt, and it was worth it. Notice how the colors blend into one another, but not really...because of the use of value as well as color. The quilting is by Jennifer McCann, and really finishes off this quilt beautifully.

Mufasa
|
|
Created by MaryAnn Titus, this quilt evolved as it was sewn together. Combining many different fabrics and using black fabric that she discharged with bleach for the background makes this quilt more interesting. Throughout this quilt is the following: And Mufasa said, "Remember who you are."No matter what transcends, on this ground you are the ancestor, the descendent. Rising inside of you, past or future, all ways fleshed in the presence, your thoughts. Why not break into light? A tree radiant inside you extends its arms from the trunk of your soul. Inside your landscape tilled wide, its sky the brow of a god calling you out.

Quilter Joanne Hurst has a great eye for color and unusual fabric placement. She paper pieced these stars, which make it easier to be accurate with points and triangles.

Haylee's Quilt
|
|
Haylee finished the last few years of high school as she learned to quilt from her neighbor Kathy. Together, Kathy taught Haylee the beginning skills of fabrics, cutting, and quarter inch seams. For Christmas, Kathy carefully selected fat quarters she knew Haylee would enjoy, and together they made this wonderful quilt, full of memories, which Haylee now uses on her bed in her college dorm!

Dee Swinehart's "Chunk" is the product of 9 months of the first edition of our "Chunk of the Month" Club. She embellished her large swoosh with machine embroidery. Good job, Dee!!

Chunk of the Month
|
|
Joan Keltner's Chunk of the Month looks similar to Dee's, but her embellishments are different, and her "dangles" dangle from a different place. A great example of what we wanted: different looks from the same colorway, same club!!

Log Cabin with a Twist
|

Fran Buchmueller used the paper piecing technique to accurately piece these tiny angles, whose seam allowance is a scant 1/8" close to the vortex. Fran has a keen eye for color, and is a prolific quilter.

Chunk of the Month
|
|
Fran Buchmueller finished her Chunk of the Month using lots of embellishments. Fussy cutting and fusing fish to the mid section was just the beginning. She used foils, beads, fabric art glitter and couched lots of fibers to make it look like an underwater wonderland.
