I wanted to add some pictures of more traditional quilts which I have made.
The first one hangs in my sewing room.
This quilt top was made in about 2004 and quilted in 2005.
The next quilt hangs in my quilting room. It was made from scraps left over from the quilt I made called "Trouble with Tribbles". I used two different shades of muslin on this quilt. I was a really fun experimental project.
Last year I went to Spring Quilt Market in Salt Lake City. I purchased a new book by Atkinson designs because I loved the turquoise and brown. This quilt was pretty quick and very fun to make.
The back is just as pretty the
front (in my humble opinion).
Every spring the local Ben Franklin's Store has Quilt Week.
They display quilts and have classes on various techniques. In addition they always give away fabric samples they have collected over the past year. I went to many classes and ended up with about 25 samples. To this I took fabric from my stash and made this quilt called "Slice 'em and Dice 'em". this quilt has over 100 different fabrics. It took over three months to make because as the name implies you have to sew blocks together then you slice and dice and sew and then slice and dice again and finally sew it into one big quilt.
The quilting on this was done in a spiral pattern. This was also very labor intensive as there are 49 spirals each with it's one start and stop which must be tied off and then the machine reset to the next position for another spiral.
One of our local ladies is a wonderful quilt pattern designer. Her company is The Cottonway. I purchased this table topper pattern and took my project with me all summer while traveling. My husband would go and fish and I would stitch whilst enjoying the great views.
He doesn't have insurance and must have $150,000 before they will put him on a list to receive a new kidney. The community is making a big effort to help him with a benefit dinner and auction. Over 1000 people are expected to attend and over 100 items have been donated for the auction.
Here is a picture of the back where you can see the quilting details more clearly.
