This is the first item I ever swirl machine quilted. As you can tell I wasn't very good! The blocks I machine embroidered ages ago and finally pieced together. Literally about 7 years in progress finally finished!
I'm having an enjoyable time machine embroidering some portraits for my next exhibition piece.
This is based on images which are not gender specific and it's been tricky getting just the right amount of ambivalence in the drawings.
As an experiment I copied some old drawings from a sketch book and printed them out on to fabric. I then cut off the hair and machined around the image.
New hair was then applied in an attempt to alter the gender.
The results were not conclusive but great fun.

I made this for my niece's 3rd birthday for her first "big girl" bed. She loves purple so there are lots of different purple shades and patterns. The quilt design is from BH&G Quilts and More magazine, Winter 2008 issue, and is basically 36 10-inch squares with a solid back and pieced binding. I quilted in the ditch and then used machine embroidery to quilt each square using designs from Anita Goodesign's Quilter's Paradise collection. The batting is bamboo/organic cotton blend.

This all started with the placemat with the light strips made by the Tutwiler Women Quilters. First, it was coordinating napkins, then 2 more placemats, then a table runner.
