Custom Quilts 2003 II

 This quilt top was purchased by Ruth Mosher several years ago. She started to hand quilt it. When she could no longer hand quilt she had a friend stitch in the ditch on a domestic machine to hold it together. She had me finish it. I used the same pattern she had hand quilted in the blocks. Everything else I did is freehand work.

Customer Quilts
The blocks in this quilt were from an exchange. Rose wanted the quilt to look like a chicken coop so I decided to quilt chicken wire behind the chickens.

 This Safe Haven quilt was made by Joyce Terry. The outside border and the matching sashing is quilted outlining the motifs. I was very thankful to be able to look at Lois McLean's photos for ideas and did use a few. I also got a book from the library on "Painted Ladies" to get architectural ideas. There is more than one photo of many of the blocks because I couldn't decide whether the shadowy lighting was better than the brighter day light.

 This sunflower quilt was hand appliqued and machine pieced by Nancy Offutt. The quilting patterns are my own design -- however the leaves in the borders were inspired by Sherry Roger's "Brainless Boarders" class. The quilt is mainly machine trapunto with some stitch in the ditch, echo quilting and meandering.

Quilted Prior to 2002
This quilt was pieced by Karen Costello. The quilting is simply meandering in the backgrounds and continuous curve in the stars.

 This is a "Harmonic Convergence" wallhanging I made in a class with Ricky Tims. It is quilted with Sophie Colliers leaf panto. However I did reduce the pattern to 75% of its original size for this quilt.
