My Afternoon Delight
Show #302 Judged
MADE BY: Marylee Drake
QUILTED BY: Precision Quiltworks
I've always wanted to do a traditional Block of the Month. I saw this quilt on the Ricky Tims/Alex Anderson Quilt Show and knew this would be one I would enjoy. If it hadn't been for Covid-19 I might not have finished it. Staying home for so many months helped me stay focused each month. I finished the piecing and assembly on December 29th, 2020. My goal to finish in 2020 was achieved.

If you are using a cell phone or a tablet to view the show and “back” doesn’t take you back to the quilt you were on, enlarging the original page just a little should fix the problem.

Memories of Kauai the Garden Isle

This Carol Morrissey pattern and the Kaffe fabrics and this pattern all together evokes, for me, the beautiful flowers of Hawaii, and especially those in the Botanical Gardens on Kauai.

Christmas Tree
Show #304
MADE BY: Marylee Drake
QUILTED BY: Marylee Drake
I saw a similar wall hanging at the quilt show in Reno, in the AccuQuilt booth. I made it up and used it as a class sample for our Sierra Sisters Play Day. It was fun to stitch around the tear drop shapes with gold metallic thread, and machine quilt snowflakes in the background.

Garden Wedding
Show #305 Judged
MADE BY: Lori Heitz
QUILTED BY: Melanie Shreeve
This quilt was made for our granddaughter's wedding in February 2019. It was given to her at her bridal shower and she loved it. This was my very first attempt at doing applique of any kind, so I decided to try machine applique. I found that I really like applique and will do more in the future. Design by Barbara Eikmeier in McCall's Quilting Magazine.

Ancestors
Show #306 Judged
MADE BY: Carol Vierra
QUILTED BY: Brandy Rayburn
I designed this quilt with Ricky Tims’ guidance 12 years ago at a retreat in La Veta, CO. It is a Rhapsody style quilt, designed to honor my parents and their ancestors, blending Irish knots with Hawaiian hibiscus flowers. The quilt remained “in progress” for 12 years because I was intimidated by all that machine applique. The COVID shutdown inspired me to reorient myself and just get it done.

Sing Me A Song
Show #307 Judged
MADE BY: Terry Harman
QUILTED BY: Terry Harman
This design is from Laura Heine Fiberworks. It is done in the collage technique which I love. It appeared on the cover of an art quilting magazine and definitely called to me. It took as long to do the very small close together quilting as it did to assemble the entire quilt. But, I think the outcome is striking.

Come See the Animals
Show #308 Judged
MADE BY: Terry Harman
QUILTED BY: Sherry Franceschi
Block of the Month from Swifty Stitches. The animals originated from greeting cards produced in England. Swifty Stitches contacted the copyright holder and was granted permission to turn 12 of their designs into quilt patterns, and our very interesting BOM began. We were given a line drawing of the animal for each block and each participant interpreted that drawing into "their" animal. It was one of the most fun and original BOMs I've done.

Here's the Cat
Show #318
MADE BY: Colleen Voet
QUILTED BY: Colleen Voet
I made this for the 2020 Challenge, Inspired By. My inspiration was a magazine ad for Fresh Step kitty litter that said, "Where's the cat?" I wanted to use the fun stripey fabric I found somewhere - wish I had more of it! Because I was able to use this fabric I could significantly simplify the McKenna Ryan pattern. And I got to use some of the decorative stitches on my machine that we never get to use. So, Where's the cat? Here's the cat!
