Quilts from the Past

Just thought I'd share a few of the quilts I've done in the past:

This was done in Oct of 2013.  It was a Schnibbles Quilt Along.

A close up detail.  The fabric line was designed by Sandy Gervais.  Love the fall colors!


This one is titled"Pacific Island Sunset"
       I made it for a competition in 2008 sponsored by Quiltmaker Magazine and Robert Kaufman Fabrics. Made from batiks. It actually made it into the traveling exhibit and traveled around the US for the year! 

  A close up of the quilting detail.  There are sun rays coming out from the red "sun", oriental "clouds" in the light blue sky, swirls in the darker sky area, waves in the lower area where the "water" is, pebbling in the brown "sand" and swirls like vines in the foliage on the right side.  Pics aren't the best, but   I 'm learning about digital photography.  I got pretty good at film, but those days are gone, and I have a new set of things to learn!!  :-)

                                                       


I'll post more later!

Hugs,

Irish Chain Twist Quilt-Along

     Well, today I'm going to actually start my blog posts!  :-P  After having the blog set up for almost a year, I guess it's time!  I've been a little scared to do it, but here goes!

I've decided to start with Melissa Corry's Quilt Along, celebrating her new book which is coming out soon.
                                                           

Today was the "Teaser" post on her blog:  go check it out.  http://www.happyquiltingmelissa.com/2015/01/irish-chain-twist-quilt-long-its-coming.html

                                           

Now to go think of what fabrics I want to use!! 

Hugs, H
