Hand Quilted Whole Cloth

This was a premarked Whilecloth.  Totally white.  I hand quilted this one, It took me a year and a half, I only worked on it in the evenings.  I just love Whole Cloth Quilts.

Quilts I've finished lately

I finally figured out how to post more quilt Photos of quilts I've finished in the past year.

Just finished this Watercolor painting, from James Ayers colection

I absolutely love James Ayers Art, he is magnificent....I painted this from one of his.  I'm still learning and his work is so outstanding, I just had to try it.  I think he paints with oils.

Latest Quilt

this is a Birthday gift for a friend, however I might have to put it in the Tulsa Fair this year, it's so cute.  Eleanor Burns pattern

My wonderful Aussie friend Julia

She came to see me while on her trip to the US.  We've been friends for about 5 years.  We met online when I was working on my Crazy Quilt.  She gave me invaluable information on how to make it.  She is A Master Quilter, designs her own quilts.  I just love her.  We were able to visit local fabric shops.

The Mason's Scrappy Quilt

When we were in Texas in April.  Our Friend Darren Mason said "I want a Scrappy Quilt, that I can wrap up in on my couch"  well you know that's all one has to say to this Obsessive Compulsive Quilter.....I started thinking immediately.  Came home and pulled Civil War Repo fabrics, then what design.  Came up with a Strip pieced idea, I pieced the center strips, and even Paper pieced the Circle Star which is the name of his Ranch and his cattle brand.  I appliqued it in the top right corner.  He and his wife loved the quilt.  He even paid me for it.  yippee!

Finished Scrappy Quilt

I wanted to make a quilt I saw in a book "Sunday Morning Quilts"  even tho I didn't have enough whites, and you know I love brights.  Here is mine.  I used lots of different fabrics, mainly modern fabrics I bought from Owl & Drum, Tulsa, OK.  I stabilized the quilt using machine stitching, then I hand quilted Long Stitches with different colors of Pearl Cotton.  Mountain Mist Cream Rose batting, makes a quilt so comfy.  I love this quilt

Watercolor paintings I did of my Grandson Blake's two Huskies

Mufasa and Yoshi

This is a Christmas Quilt that I made for "Miss Christmas girl"  it's a surprise for her.  Hope she likes it, it was 6 yrs in the making.  The embroidery is all hand done, even my friend Janis helped on this one.  We got so tired of it, I put it up for a few years.  Determined to get it finished this year.  It's finished.  Yeah!

3 Watercolor Cards

I saw a rendering of this card somewhere on the internet, these are my versions.  I painted cards. Three different watercolor paper.  I'm definitely liking one over the others.  That's how I'm learning, by trying different papers and paints.

Crazy Quilt Finished

Well, I started this quilt about 3 yrs ago.  Made some mistakes putting the blocks together, so I put it up for 3 years.  then in June at the Tulsa Quilt Show, I came across an expert in Crazy Quilting, The Bead Ranch gal from Stillwater, OK.  She told me to take the block apart that I had sewn together, make the rest of the blocks and sash them.  In September of 2015 I embroideried the rest of the names of my family on fabric, then started making the CQ blocks.  Got it out in December and started embellishing the blocks.  I tried to put Charms on the person's blocks that had interest or related to that person.

I know most Crazy Quilts don't have Bling on them, but since I love bling and since it's MY Quilt....
Like I say, "it doesn't have to be perfect, but it does have to be finished".  I must say I now hate velvet.  lol
