Quilt no 7
Autumn Falls
| It has a hand dyed cotton background. Leaf printed tea bags are embellished with muslin, feathers, free motion stitched leaves on tulle, beads and 'inchies'. |
Quilt no 6
Country Gardens
| The flower centers and the side triangles are hand appliqued. It is machine quilted. I added a sleeve and label after the photos were taken. |
Quilt no 5
Untitled
| It's
based on a picture of salt terraces, each having a slightly different color
and edges of crystals. Its made of
layers of organza, embroidered with floss, each strip consisting of at least
three colors of French knots and tied with silk thread. |
Quilt no 4
Untitled
| It is made of a handdyed fabric on a commercial one (the blue one). It is patched and quilted by machine. When the quilt was already quilted, I added some stamping and some threads. |
Quilt no 3
Joyful Dancer
| First I created a quilt with a lot of texture from different fabrics and treatments of those fabrics. Then I painted over the whole surface. |
Quilt no 2
Funky Gingko Leaves
| Background is an ice dyed parfait, the leaves are made from commercial batiks. |
Quilt no 1
Untitled
This quilt is a hand appliqued traditional block with "meaning". Bluebirds are for happiness; flower for beauty and trophy for good fortune. So whoever receives this will receive a blessing for the year of happiness, beauty and good fortune.

Photos beginning to arrive!
I now have photos in of 7 little quilts for this swap - all very different and all lovely. I can't wait to see more! A few more in, and I will post the first lot of photos.
Just a little reminder that tomorrow is the first of August (yikes!) - that means, just two months until the photo deadline if you want to take part. Photos need to be to me by the 1st of October.

Quick reminder!
Hello everyone. We now have nearly 60 people signed up as being interested in this swap, so even if a good handful of them run into obstacles that prevent them finishing a piece, I think the selection of quilts is going to be huge, varied and fabulous (as it has been all along, luckily!).
Just a quick reminder that the deadline for photos of your quilts is 1st October. That sounds like a long time, but is actually only three months away, and of course, there's summer in there. For some of you, that will be a good thing, with more time to sew (like me), for others, it will mean less time to sew, so don't forget to build time into your schedule for your ALQS7 quilt(s).
And finally, just to remind you that this round's piece must fnish at 12" square. So please don't make a fantastic 18x20 piece, as you won't be able to use it!
Happy sewing.
