Abby's Garden
Quilt #: 1016461 Added on 03/11/2010
Watching Sue Nickels' episode on here about machine applique changed my mind about trying applique. I started this last Nov. as a Christmas present for a 7 yr old niece. Sue is right when she says it's not a fast method so here it is March and finally finished. But this way I get to deliver it in person so even better. I had fun adding various bugs and earthworms within the quilting and quilted her name in, too. I should add that the pattern is not quite totally original as I borrowed/modified some of the flowers from various sources. |

Little Cherry Pickers
Quilt #: 1016459 Added on 03/10/2010
I love, LOVE how this quilt came out! I wanted to do an appliqué that was slightly traditional, but definitely updated. The tree trunk is many pieces woven together and then splitting again to resemble roots. I particularly love the birds; the soft lavender/pink print makes them look like they're made out of fine Japanese porcelain. |

Bright Stars
Quilt #: 1016455 Added on 03/09/2010
This was my first attempt at star blocks which I pieced last year, and now having my long arm machine practiced my quilt techniques using a ruler for stitching in the ditch, and I also practiced lots of freehand fillers in each star block. I freehand feathered the borders. |

Here, Kitty, Kitty!
Quilt #: 1016452 Added on 03/09/2010
This was a kit designed and assembled by long-arm quilter Karen McDavitt. It is VERY cute. It was her idea to back it with Minkee, and it turned out very soft and warm -- perfect for Michigan! |

Bubblegum Stars & Blue Wiggleworm
Quilt #: 1016451 Added on 03/09/2010
I made these quilts for my good friend's son and his wife who are expecting twins. I wanted to use the same border fabric and basically the same fabrics, but make one boy and one girl version. I think it worked! |

Teddy Bear Picnic
Quilt #: 1016450 Added on 03/09/2010
I purchased this kit from Keepsake Quilting. It uses that company's die-cut shapes, which I fused onto the quilt top then stitched around each bear. Very cute and quick. |

Henry's retirement quilt
Quilt #: 1016448 Added on 03/08/2010
After 30 years, Henry Macon retired as a Pharmacist from the University of South Alabama Medical Center. Henry is an unusual character - he keeps things lively - and is known for his sayings. "Don't quote me on that" is one of our favorites. This quilt includes photographs on fabric of people he worked with in their "natural habitat", the pharmacy. A lot of his sayings are also on the quilt.
At his retirement party, instead of an ordinary journal for co-workers to write their comments in, we chose to create a patient chart, so everyone could write doctor's orders as part of their fairwell messages. It was as much fun as in high school, where everyone wrote in your yearbook! |

Penguins at Play (working title)
Quilt #: 1016446 Added on 03/07/2010
I had little batik squares with penguins in them, so I built the blocks around them using Margaret Miller's Angle Play templates. When I lined the blocks up, the orange squares made the quilt spotty. When I lined up the squares, I had open spaces to fill. Penguin batik fabric in black and white! All scraps except for the penguins. |

Shattered Angles quilt (unnamed so far)
Quilt #: 1016445 Added on 03/07/2010
I took the "Shattered Angles" class at Quilt University and made a cutting error on my first group of strip sets. Rather than throw out that series of blocks, I just continued to make the same cutting error for the rest of the quilt. I was very happy with how it turned out. |

Storm at Sea Color Gradation quilt top
Quilt #: 1016443 Added on 03/07/2010
I used Wendy Mathson's Quick2Cut rulers to put together this color gradation in batiks. The quilt top measures 39.5"x48.5", I think. I may be adding some silk organza overlays on top of it but I haven't quite decided yet. |

Doctor My Eyes
Quilt #: 1016440 Added on 03/07/2010
I really named this quilt Sweet Dreams, but I noticed when I looked at it through a reducing glass, it looked like glass blocks, so for this gallery, I decided to name it "Doctor, My Eyes! |

Center of St. Patrick's Day Wall Quilt
Quilt #: 1016439 Added on 03/07/2010
I did the vines with zig-zag on the machine. It is not perfect, but from a distance it look fine.... I just thought you could see it now that I uploaded a larger photo. It is a nice design and the quilt is perfect for St. Patrick's Day... |

St. Patrick's Day Wall Hanging
Quilt #: 1016438 Added on 03/07/2010
I could not find any designs for St. Patrick's Day and I wanted one to hang on the wall at work, for the holiday. I found a window hanger in a magazine, and blew up the design and appliqued it to the center and put borders around to make it larger. 39x39, it fits perfect on the wall behind me at work. My own personal quilt show, and it changes every month |

Thanks Margie Engel. I made Mac Awwwh for my husbands birthday. He really loved it. I changed the coloring and made the feathers individually. This was so fun to make. |
