It is amazing to me how this qal is starting to take on its own personality. I started wanting to do a gray and yellow quilt with the added accents of pink and teak, but the pinks are just screaming to be on display! Funny how that goes:)!
Some process shots of my HST sampler quilt. Made a a prize for the winner of a fundraiser auction for my friend's doula co-op.

i bought this sampler pattern quite a while ago, and started making it last summer, when we were planning to adopt. since we didn't have a gender preference with the adoption, i veered from the colors on the pattern to a more gender-neutral palette.
and how things have changed since then.
i'm now due to give birth in two and half weeks to a baby girl. it's funny what life throws at you when you least expect it.
and i think what i like most about this piece is the untold story it contains, and the journey that we have taken over the course of it being made.
Another Tangle Sampler. Original is 5" x 7"; and I've named it Circles, Squares and Rectangles. Not a very exciting name, huh? It's pretty "busy" but as a sampler, I guess that's not so bad. Anyway, I don't know if I've mentioned it here yet, but I am all paid and scheduled for CZT Training in September and I'm so excited to be able to teach this wonderful art form as soon as I'm certified. I'm practicing practically non-stop. Anyway, here's a list of all the tangles used, in alpha order with the source of the tangle. I truly believe in giving credit to the artists who so inspire me. Circles were drawn using a jigger glass as a template. Center square drawn by tracing a zentangle tile. Other rectangles/partial squares strings are free-hand.

I enjoyed making this sampler from the book "All Star Sampler" by Roxanne Carter. It is rotary cut, machine pieced and machine and handquilted by me in 1999. I like it so much I plan to make another one someday.

This sampler’s exactly a hundred years old!
Nice combination of different styles and sizes, remarkable assortment of characters. (And an unfortunate name, by the way …)
