Pieced Pillow

Signature Pillow

 

I made this signature pillow for my mother's and step-father's 40th anniversary which will happen very shortly.

It is sewn from 1" x 5" strips of fabric. Each of which is a box in which a guest can sign an make a comment.

The pillow is 20" x 20"

Applique Lettering

 

I used my Cranston alphabet on the back to mark the occasion.

The capital letters are 1 1/2" tall. The lower case letters are 1" tall. They are in a 7" x 10" box.

Ninepatch Pinwheel Quilt #8

Look What Susan Did

She made this bed quilt using a variation of my Patricia/Ribbons quilt design. This is for a single bed. The piano keys along the border drape down the sides. The Patricia /Ribbons part is the rectangle in the very center.

Half and Half Block

Look What Terry Lynn Did

Terry Lynn made this quilt using my Foam Lake block. The variety of reds and greys adds life to the quilt. The border she used provides an interesting frame to the quilt.

An Applique Alphabet

In my last post I showed you the lower case Cranston alphabet. This time you get to see the upper case.

An Applique Alphabet

In my last post I showed you Chaparral, an alphabet I designed that combined piecing and stitching. I also pointed out that it had some issues that needed to be worked out.

I have decided that if I change it to an alphabet that combines applique and stitching, all those problems disappear. In addition raw-edge applique allows me to make the letters even smaller. And that means I can use these letters on quilts that are not huge.

A Pieced Alphabet

Chaparral is a lower case alphabet I recently designed. It is made by combining piecing and stitching.
