May 2008 photo samples

Greetings, Quilt Lovers, Admirers, and Enthusiasts!



In order to give you a chance to see what kinds of work I can do, I thought I'd post a few pictures of my work. You can click on the picture to view a more detailed photo, and feel free to ask questions using the comment section at the end of the post.





My sister posing with her grandson's quilt--this was done using a free-form swirl with sharp directional changes.

Tara's stack-and-whack quilt was filled with very small stipples and a swirl on the sawblades of the blocks.
Sharon's Dad's quilt with a big, loose stipple. 100% flannel top and back with Warm Company cotton batting.
Marilynn's quilt with a unique paisley pattern filled with bubbles and the background used a free-form swirl with sharp directional changes.
Sharon's Topsy Turvy Stars quilted with a Pointless Swirl pattern. I used Signature thread, 100% cotton, in a variegated rainbow called "Rio de Janiero."

Large, loose stipple.

Another of Marilynn's quilts using various free-form motifs to fill the different areas.

This one was just screaming for loopy-loops! Another very fast, all-over motif.

This was a really fun project--the spikes of the New York Beauty seemed to need an echo quilted pattern and the quarter circles were filled in with arches.

Thanks!

Karen

Karen- of course you may share the little story with your kids! Anything in cyberspace is fair game for the sharing, don't you think? Great quilting, by the way!
