Festival of Quilts 2017

I put eight quilts into the show this year.  It’s a good way to keep a record of what you’ve done each year.  Some of these are originals, but some are just UFO’s that I have to get out of my closet.

Yellow Poppies – a Lenore Crawford pattern – started in 2010.

byThis one is called “Gravity” by JayBird.  I switched the white to black.  Thought it looked better having the white next to the Starburst and the black edges.  Besides, white bindings always get dirty!

A Zebra Fish to add to my aquarium.

Another attempt at “Katy as Water”.  It was bang on until I did her eyes.  I guess I’ll keep practicing.

The handy “Ampersand”,  I made this with “Quilted Mouse Guild” as a challenge.

Created this for my husband’s birthday.  Dale is known for his Hawaiian shirts, so I had to make it into a quilt.  He loves it.

This is called “Dizzy Diamonds”.  I started it in a class with Gloria Loughman in Canmore.  Sugar Pine brought her in.  I used every fancy stitch on my machine to embellish this quilt.
