Parson Gray Quilt

I pieced this quilt top together using Parson Gray's Seven Wonders fabric. This was a fat quarter bundle I won from 100 billion stars blog last year. And of course in the eleventh hour began quilting it...

Hand sewing binding into the night on the 24th of December...

Finishing just in time for my brother to open on Christmas morning! He loved it.



My finished quilt...

Biye' Quilt

This is my newest work Biye' quilt. The Navajo to English translation is "his son." This is a quilt for an old friend who is expecting her first child.

The quilt is backed with a soft and cuddly minky which will keep the baby warm during the winter season.

some star quilts

Last year a friend asked me to make four quilts for his special family occasion. Here are the four quilts my mom and I made:

A Quilt for Leukemia and Lymphoma

A quilt I made a year ago finally is going to find a new home! My friend Stephanie and her friend Abe are working to raise $100,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Which is truly ambitious and exciting! I thought maybe this quilt could help them raise some funds. It's a bright and happy quilt and I'm excited to see it go! If you would like to find out more about their efforts, please visit this link.

Heart

Here is my newest work, just completed "my heart [in fabric]", which was inspired by my friend Shimon's painting called Fenice Avanti. I used Kona solids for the middle heart area and a Marimekko print for the border.

Spanish Textile Quilt in Aqua

I made another Spanish Textile Quilt, this time in Aqua colours. The pattern is by J Michelle Watts. I love piecing this pattern and it is so easy to quilt!



This was a special gift for my brother in law.



I used a Michael Miller print on the back and scrappy binding. You can see a little Tula Pink Birds and Bees and DS Quilts here.

To go along with my new project I decided to make a new rug quilt using the same colors! Progress!

Calgary Modern Quilting Guild July Meeting

Here are some pictures from our July meeting!

Calgary Stampede 2012

Here is a picture of the Calgary Stampede 100th Anniversary Quilt. In person it was huge and amazing! Lots of talented quilters made blocks for this quilt and you can see the time and love that was used to create it!

This is my quilt named Magical Moonlight that I entered into the Arts and Crafts Exhibition. It did not win anything but I was happy to see it displayed and enjoyed! It was based on a painting by my friend Shimon Kato, and maybe just a little too modern minimalist for this show. I paper pieced the entire moonlight area and then hand appliquéd it to the outer fabric. I also machine quilted this myself.



Me and my quilt!




This other piece I won a second place ribbon for. This is a collaboration with my friend Shimon Kato. That is a print of his painting in the center which I then used to translate into fabric!
