Quilt no 14

Time to rest

I am on a rampage to utilize all the bits and pieces that I have not been able to throw away for the past (many) years. This is a silk painted face that didn't make it into the original project but I just couldn't throw away.  So here she is reinvented in a piece titled "Time to Rest"...

Quilt no 12

Chocolate and Citrus Fruit

Machine pieced and hand quilted with Pearls 8 cotton. I've also made a pocket in the back to insert a pillow if desired.

Quilt no 11

Struck

Titled "Struck" because the design reminds me of lightening bolts coming from a gray sky.  It is 12" squares and done in aqua and orange on a gray background.  It is machine pieced and hand quilted. The back of the mini quilt has two pockets for hanging if someone desires to do so.

Quilt no 10

Cinnamon Star

I made a dresden plate from some christmas fabric, as this little quilt will probably go to its new home about Christmas time.  I machine appliqued it to a cinnamon coloured background (hence the name). Did some random straightline quilting, stitched cream stars on to the tone on tone holly fabric, and attached a red bead to each point. It has an envelope back to enable it to be displayed, and is embroidered with details of when and who made it.

Quilt no 9

Whose Garden?

A minature version of a 'Don't Look Now' pattern!  The flowers and butterflies have been attached using bondaweb and then stitched in place to secure.  The background is free motion quilted using a flower design.
