Sarah's Amazon Star Quilt

Sarah used Karen Niemeyer's paper templates to construct this beautiful quilt. She did a fantastic job joining it all together! And she gets an A for stay stitching the outer edge which prevented stretching and popped seams.

This quilt almost doubled my previously held record of number of hours to quilt a quilt - I spent almost 24 hours on it! But it stayed interesting because there were so many different areas!

I quilted continuous curves and straight lines in the colored parts and feathers in the light background.










Barbara's Strip Quilt

I love the color combination of this quilt. It is quilted with WaterWorld.

Connie's Irish Chain

Connie will use this good old pattern to teach a beginner's quilting class at Pieceful Hearts in Lisle.

Quilts of Valor

I have made some very tactile Quilts of Valor for soldiers who have lost their vision.

Each quilt has as many textures of fabric as I can find. Chenille, satin, velvet, wool and so on.








Adam's T-shirt quilt

A great reminder of Adam's many interests during high school and college!


Wedding Quilt for Carol

Carol loves this verse. So when she announced her engagement, we knew we had to incorporate it into a quilt for her. It is done as a pass around with each member of the bee making a border.





Phyllis's Quilts

This cutie is quilted with Butterfly Ballet.

I don't know how Phyllis manages this complicated layout of courthouse steps! It is quilted with "Jessica's Feathers" pantograph.



Susan's Batik Quilt

This pretty quilt is quilted with a fern pantograph.

Mary's Pinwheel

A sweet little quilt. I used the WaterWorld pantograph in a small scale.

Mary's 4 Patch Poseys

I like how Mary occasionally used a fussy cut one piece block interspersed with her other "poseys". It is quilted with Gingko Leaves.
