{A Picture Heavy Post} I love decorating with quilts. I put them on beds, on tables, on the walls, and anywhere else I can think of....
Pictures - Two very different spider web quilts. - The book Material Obsessions 2 has two spider web quilts. I made both and am in the process of quilting them. The one where the webs are emphasized is for my daughter, the one where the background is emphasized is for my son. Both are foundation piecing and used lots

In the last few months, we have begun to see some beautiful sunsets painted in our western sky here in central Pennsylvania. I was inspired to make some more sunset art quilts but I wanted to explore some different colors. I searched the internet for photos and paintings for inspiration. For me, the inspiration is Read the full article...

This is "Blue Onion" by Saginaw St Quilts. Doing curves was something different to try. I stopped and started this several times.
One thing I know--from a student's perspective--is that a teacher can never have too many samples for a class. Since I'm teaching classes on quilting feathers, I decided to make a more complex piece showing how you could use all of the different elements that are taught in the class. Unfortunately, my picture doesn't quite show all that I would like it to, but I hope you can see well enough. The fabric is a hand dye by Ellen Ann Eddy and I think it "confused" the camera somewhat (not to mention the quilter!). I've been to several classes lately in which the teacher had the diffinitive answer on what needle to use and the proper weight thread. The truth is that these figures are merely guidelines and that many other threads and needles will also work--depending on the fabric and the tightness of the quilting, etc. For this piece I used a 75 quilting needle and had absolutely no problem. The purple thread is a Superior 50 weight Masterpiece thread on top and a 60 weight Superior Bottom Line thread in the bobbin with a 2.00 tension. For the background quilting, I used Isacord thread in both the top and the bobbin with a 1.5 tension. For use in my Bernina 430, I also threaded the Bottom Line through the little hole in the bobbin case--which helped to pull the top thread down into the fabric and prevented the bobbin thread from showing on the surface of the quilt. Of course, one of the major challenges of this piece was using a dark thread on a lighter, fairly blank top because any boo-boos are sure to stand out. There are some, of course, but overall I was very happy with the end result.

A bit of brightness is always welcome after a long winter, so I thought of course of daffodils. I planted a row of bulbs last year and have been enjoying them dancing in the garden... Which made me pull out my cheerful DAFFODIL COLLAGE, one of the very first flower collages I stitched, lo, these many years past: I'm always pleasantly surprised to re-view the stitch "swatches" I chose for my flowers and I am reminded again of how fun they were to think up and stitch. Here's one of my favorites, which is a basic box grid (stitched with a variegated thread) then you fill it with whatever fun motifs you want: And as I was picking out patterns, I tried to use ones that looked like daffodils, with stiff outer petals with a concentrated center. Here's a favorite floral pattern that surprised me how much it looked like a patch of daffodils standing stiffly at attention: For my other daffodil swatches, I also experimented with two blackwork patterns, and then added a bit more color within the open areas. Here's one of them, as well as the lower right block photo further down: So, having shared my stitched DAFFODIL COLLAGE with you, I'll leave you with a real bouquet of daffodils.... HAPPY FRIDAY!
