Rhonda Denney, the artist, beautifully captures the allure and power in the eyes of this majestic wolf. She uses a combination of fabric pigments and stitching to create this striking quilt.
Lorna, The Bear Den, and I headed out to Stephannson House Provincial Historic Site on Sunday for their quilt show. Lovely day, and so many beautiful quilts on display!
This room is my sewing/computer room and the quilt that is hanging covered with photos, was made by me many years ago. Photography has taken over my life and put quilting on the back burner.... since I have many quilts hanging on the walls, I just print out 4x6 pictures with the Canon Selphy and clip them up.
Today is a day of celebration, so I decided to interrupt my desert trip photos with one of a quilt I put together this summer while I was staying in a friend's country guest house during my six weeks of daily radiation. I decided to turn my cancer nightmare into an art retreat.
Here the pieces are cut and just being arranged on a white felt board. Since it was taken I have half the quilt sewn together and hope to finish it this winter.
The nice thing about quilting is you can do as little or as much as you feel up to doing.
And like society, the diversity of individuals working together make a beautiful, interesting, useful whole.
Using Summer Soiree fabric. I added one more row of blocks to fit a full bed.
Used the instructions at www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/quiltalong.html
experimenting with artificial intelligence (vs. 'no' intelligence) for a 'quilting' image for my nieces new shop ....quilters I welcome any feedback, I had not idea how popular this still is until she opened her retreat....
I found it interesting that 'focus' was not all defined in the image giving it a more realistic look....

In a total style switch-up, I've gone from low key shots to this high key one. I also ran it through some fun Topaz filters.
This is a quilt I worked on years ago, and never finished. The quilt style is called "Cathedral Window". I was making it for my daughter, when she was a child, for her home, if she ever grew up and got married.
Well, now, as of Thursday, she is married, and there is still only about one sixth of a quilt. Sigh.
Anyway, I put some bluish lights behind it, to show through the fabric, between the colored pieces, so that's what that is, if you were wondering.
The whole quilt is put together from these little squares I fold and sew together, like the one in front, with the scissors.
I know it looks orange in the photo, but it is really pink and purple.
Happy Alphabet February y'all!
"Life is like a patchwork quilt and each little piece is a day. Some are bright and sunny, some are cloudy and grey."
An old crazy quilt that I picked up somewhere. It's not in great condition, but obviously was made with love and was well loved by someone. It appears to have been made from old clothes. It has very thick cotton batting and is really heavy. It must have been so cozy sleeping under it!
For Macro Monday group's theme.... Cloth/Textile. One of my favorite things!
This is a photo of Anna Fox Rochinski of Quilt at Austin Psych Fest but I saw them again last night in Chicago opening for the band Woods at SubT (Suberranean) and it was also a fantastic set. Highligh enjoyable folk-psychedelic music! The multiple exposure used is of the Clouds I was taking photos of on the way to Austin Psych Fest that day. My poor friend Randy was driving while I was snapping away at the sky next to him like I'd never seen a cloud..but they were just so fluffy..very rarely do I have time during any of my work days especially to just appreciate things like the sky. It's strange but true.
Here's the band on bandcamp: quiltmusic.bandcamp.com/
And here's my recap for Day One of the fest that includes more photos and a description as well as coverage of other bands that day:

This quilt was totally inspired by Nettie's awesome rainbow geese quilt seen here: aquiltisnice.blogspot.com/2011/04/rainbow-geese-quilt.html.
Right now there are 96 flying geese, but I've got 3 more in the label to make it 99. I named it "99 Bright Flying Geese on the Wall" because I always had the song "99 bottles of beer on the wall" in my head while I was sewing these things up, with the words changed about geese. "Trim one down, toss the scraps around, 96 bright flying geese on the wall" etc. What can I say, teeny piecing like this makes me a bit delirious. Do you have this song in your head now? I hope so.
Size is apx. 12 x 16 inches. Including the white, backing fabric, and the other 3 geese (one is a repeat of a front goose), there are 100 fabrics in this baby.
I've finished my mini quilt version of the Stitch Along that Rachel is hosting on her blog - Contented. This is a Birthday present for my Mum but I will definitely be making more of these. I love it and it was such a quick and easy little project.
Fabric is Heather Ross Mendocino on Essex Linen, and the binding is Bliss by Moda.
I put in a movie today during naptime and quilted my little heart out. I really hope this chunky sort of hand quilting is okay by you, partner. ??
My first quilt making attempt - a commisioned security quilt for a newborn. Made of various cotton scraps with a border of linen. Also has a pacifier loop.
16 squares of Tant paper and 2:1 connectors.
From a blintzed windmill base, inspired by stars I folded recently.
Connectors same as Fröbelian quilts
this is a quilt that i made using a pattern in the kaffe fassett book "glorious patchwork" (the quilt on the book cover actually). it has serious problems, not the least of which is that i really don't love that color scheme. what was i thinking? also, it looks wobbly because i laid it on my bed without removing the pillows first, oops.
The quilt project for this month. Need to finish by Tuesday so I'd better get with it. Tried to do a framing using photoshop. Next time I'll try it without the grid to see if I can get 3 sides even. Lots to learn--lots to do.
Quilt made using Amy Karol - Bend the Rules sewing book. I used the "wastage" to make my quilt longer.
These Amy Butler prints are in my favorite green colour - This is my second in the same fabrics (I made one for my mum for Xmas but didn't take a pic.)

Made with left over Moda Summer in the City charm pack. Crazy nine patch pattern.
Tutorial here.
Just used 9 different squares to create my 9 nine patches. Finished blocks are about 3 1/2"
For the border, I cut more charm squares in 1 1/4" strips, sewed those strips together, then cut my border strips from that.
I've been working on this for awhile. I wanted it to be done by March 27th to take to Boston when we went to see her but it just didn't work out. Carrie (my oldest) 23rd birthday was today so I worked all weekend finishing up midnight Sunday, then throwing it in the washer as I slept, putting it in the dryer as I got my shower in the morning and off it went UPS Next Day delivery.
She was crying when she called after opening it. awwwhhh!
Picture credits to Carrie www.flickr.com/photos/22031601@N02/. I couldn't even get a finished picture of it!
Hoping to add one of the back as soon as she takes it for me. The quilt measures 64x67, the biggest I ever made.
We have started a quilting group here! We have 8 ladies and most of us have never quilted before. This little mini quilt is full of "mistakes" :-) Hope to improve as I go along! We are learning a new type of quilt block every month. After a while we will use the scraps from allour quilts to make a crazy patchwork for charity.
Yea, it's done!
I think this has to be my most favorite quilt that I have made, so far!
I hope the recipient enjoys it for a long time! :)
