My Quilting Progression

When I first started my quilting life, I made pot holders. I called them Kitchen Quilts.
Next came wall hangings. I bought a pattern that I thought was fun and it was raw edge applique.



I started buying cheater panels, cut them apart and put them back together MY way.
This is my wonkie African Zoo.



Two years ago I discovered my fiber Post Cards. I enjoy this creative side of me. When I make postcards, I make up the pattern, I "pet" the fabric, I sew, glue, paint or tape it down. I send these little "Postal EyeCandy" to many friends all over the world. And the best part is THEY SEND THEIR WONDERFUL ART BACK TO ME!




I adore creating Landscapes. My small postcards have gotten larger. Now my landscapes art is hanging on my walls in my home. I am proud of them. They are beautiful. Most of my larger pictures are about one of my favorite places on earth, FLATHEAD LAKE in MONTANA.





This weekend I made this quilt of sunshine. I AM READY FOR SPRING! Its called "Hot Tamale."





I took a class that my guild offered a few months ago from Colleen Wise called "Casting Shadows." This is my FAVORITE quilt I have made. I love the colors and the illusion of shadows. I cant wait to start quilting this art work on my Janome midarm.




Now here is my next project I have started. I have discovered paper piecing.




I HOPE I WILL FINISH IT IN MY LIFE TIME! PRAY FOR ME....PRAY HARD!

  3. Hiya Deb, your Hot Tamale looks is so cute, I've been itching to do one like that too....is it also called 'chinese coins'?

    Wish I could join you in all the classes you take, the quilters you meet AND see you use your mid-arm.
