Camilla pieced this quilt while she was living in the United States.  She and her family will be taking it back to Scandinavia with them.  It has a very minimalist look and we used Interlocking Surfs Up in camel thread to keep it simple.

Yellow Brick Road

This lilac and green quilt was Giesla's first.  The pantograph Simply Clematis complemented the flowers in the fabric and gave it a fresh simple look.

National Dog Show

Connie is taking these throw-sized quilts to a national dog show. This batch branch out a bit from her previous doggie fabric.  She loves colors and says they are "wild" on purpose.  We used bright thread to continue that feeling.

Connie is going to sell these quilts at a booth.  Her company is called "These Aren't Your Grandma's Quilts."  And they aren't!  She likes lots of color and pattern and the paw prints make them even more exciting.

Look at these two cute  pantographs made from drawings by Anne Bright.

Wall Hanging

Connie  machine appliquéd this small wall hanging.  It has a very springy look with the stems and flowers popping out from the background.  Leaves surround the quilt in the border.

Charity

Connie completed a group of charity quilts for the Justin Project at TMC.  They will be donated to the Children's Wing for a child who needs the special comfort of a hand-made quilt.

The first is a printed panel.

The second is a clever linear design with sashing.

The third is a sweet pattern from reproduction fabrics.

The fourth is a soft, sweet flannel with a Disney print as backing.

The fifth is a bright, bold geometric.

Lines

Mary used bright fabric and simple piecing to create this striking quilt.  The Yale Blue thread carried the bright blue color throughout the quilt.

Mother's Quilt

 JoAnne pieced this quilt for her mother.  They both live in Virginia.  We picked out the  thread color and the quilting pattern by looking at pictures and talking on the phone.  Quilted Quail quilted and bound the quilt so it was ready when they opened the box.

Are You Looking at Me?

Brooke used Laurel Burch fabrics to make this bright quilt.  In the middle of each block is a creature looking right back at you!  We used a simple quilting pattern and bright Cherry Blossom thread to make this ask the question, "Are You Looking at Me"?

Follow the Lines

Libby wanted this quilt to look just like the pattern in the book.  It was interesting to quilt so that the eye follows the lines, first the dark making the square and then the lighter making the diamond.  Which do you see first?

Seeing Stars

Brooke pieced all of these stars with different bright fabrics.  To help make the similarities and differences show we used a very regular pattern that repeats over the whole quilt, Baroque Hearts.

Chinese Coins

Connie used beautiful Asian fabrics for this Chinese Coins quilt.  To keep the Asian look, we used a Rainbow Fan pattern.  She pieced the back with stripes of the fabric from the front.

Baby #2

Pat, in VA, used the same pattern to make similar quilts (see earlier page) for her two grandchildren.  One mother is using the quilt and this quilt goes on the wall.

Daughter's Crayons

Peggy made this quilt for her daughter.  She had great fun collecting the pairs of fabric for each Crayon.  Then we  did "free spirit" all-over quilting with flowers, leaves, and butterflies in a bright variegated thread.

Sunflowers

Pam pieced this quilt just like the page of the calendar she looked at for a month.  The directions were at the end of the year.  The custom quilting makes the sunflowers pop and the green shapes have extra interest with a sunflower in each one.

Thimbleberries Sunrise

Pam did a lovely job with this quilt.  She belongs to the local Thimbleberries group.  They did a block each month and then assembled their quilts.

Rose thinks she learned a lot with these seams that all meet in the middle of the flowers.  We did a simple stars and loops to bring out the stars in the fabric.
