Experiment
My latest quilt. This started as an experiment to work out
my questions about some techniques I wanted to try for a new quilt that I am designing.... and then this little thing took on a lovely life of its own. I just let the fabrics talk to me.
The floral design was done by Broderie Perse, cutting out small pieces of flowers from a floral and appliqueing them onto fabric in a totally new design that I made up. Then I used Trapunto to give them extra stuffing so they stood out at different levels from the rest of the piece.
Yes, That is a blue tailed skink I drew on the computer, printed onto material and appliqued onto the quilt. There are lots of them sunning in our yard.
This is my original design, using the “Jewel Box
Jr. Gems 5& 10” Template from www.phillipsfiberart.com

Tree of live Talit for my Niece's Bat Mitzva
This is my original pattern: patchwork, applique and quilted using Free Motion Quilting on my domestic machine. I do NOT have an embroidery system everything was done by FREE MOTION QUILTING . Each letter was carefully sewn by tracing it in gold or silver thread and then going back and filling it in to give the look of gold or silver filigree as I sewed.My niece is very into ecology, hence the water, tree of life, earth, sun, and sky theme. |

My Quilts
 |
To my total amazement this quilt was selected to be one of the semi-finalists in McCall's Quilting

| I do not have a machine that does font embroidery nor fancy embroidery patterns, so I used photo imaging to print a font and to add a shadow image of Sylvie's name onto the fabric. |
 |
| Here is the finished wall hanging. |
 | ||||
| Images of Sylvie were isolated and new backgrounds behind her were created on my computer, basically designing my own fabrics to match each of the pictures before I printed them onto white fabric. |

| This is one Paper Panache's MysteryBlocks http://www.paperpanache.com/ |
 |
| Wall hanging: Center panel "Crazy Bird "from Quilt Maker Magazine. This was one of my 1st attempts at quilting before I learned how to photograph them and how to make a good binding. "Maia" was my first attempt at free motion lettering. |
 |
| This was the first time I manipulated the photos to isolate the subject and create my own backgrounds on the computer. Lots of fun, but time consuming. Someday, if I hit the lottery, I'll buy Photoshop. |
