This quilt was finished in 2004, it is lavishly machine quilted in various patterns, the feathers are appliqued and satin stitched. This quilt was submitted by Quilter's Square Quilt Store in Lexington to the national Bernina meeting and contest and won a Bernina 440 machine for me.
Completed in 2007, this quilt has some organza layers that have circular designs that have been rubbed into the fabric, then quilted in as well. I heard the phrase "Fog induced chaos" on NPR radio and liked it so much I wanted to make a piece to fit the name.
Completed in 2006, this piece is inspired by the sweet potato vines that were growing rapidly outside my front door. The background fabric is sun painted using the vines for the shapes, that fabric was cut up and used in a grid with the vines appliqued over the top, satin stitched down and quilted mostly in a baptist fan pattern. I loved that the vines had very new growth which was a lime green and very old dark purple leaves with holes as well as some yellow near death leaves in the fall depicting the entire life cycle of the plant.
