It is machine and hand pieced.  It is machine quilted.  It is 29 in square in size. Here is a closer photo to show the quilting better. Here you can see the quilting of the border. The back is a black cotton.  I tried to get a good photo of the quilting from the back, but it didn’t work out.

Here is the back (the fabric is actually the dark blue used for the quilt border on the front of the quilt.  It looks washed out here. I’ve listed the quilt for sale on Etsy.

I machine stitched the hands and stems, then added the blue fabric border.  I did the machine quilting next, hand sewing on the beaded flowers after I had the binding done. The quilt measures 15.75 in X 18 in. Here you can see the beaded flowers and stitching. Here is the back. The quilt is for sale on Etsy.

The quilt is machine pieced and quilted.  It measures  9 7/8 in X 9 5/8 in.  Here you can see how I used dark green thread to make the metallic tree and figures stand out even more. The outer border fabric is a black print which looks gray/black but photographs blue/black. The back has a sleeve for hanging. The quilt is for sale on Etsy.

I believe it was early 1990’s, around 1993.  I combined three blocks:  prairie queen, shoe fly, and flying geese. The quilt is machine pieced and quilted.  It is 34 in square.  Here is a close up of the fabrics. Here is the back which is made of the remaining gold fabrics.  Even though there is a sleeve on this for hanging, I use it to cover an old desk in my bedroom.

I took the photo and enlarged it more than 400% to create this template on freezer paper.  I applied light-weight fusible web to the back of my black fabric and the freezer paper to the front.  Then using an #11 blade I cut out the design.   The black fabric was then fused to the background fabrics.  First the yellow print and then the gray print.  The raw edges were then machine appliqued.   The border consists of two thin strips (an inner black and then the print) and a larger black.   I machine quilted the piece.  Here is a  close view of the yellow flower which was fussy cut from a wonderful Batik. &...

I mis-cut one of the four so ended up with a gap in the layout. To correct this (as I didn’t have a fifth piece so I could just re-cut it), I inserted red squares so it would look like a ribbon woven in. Here is the finished quilt.  It is machine pieced and quilted.  It measures approximately 29 in square. I quilted it with gold metallic thread on the front using beige cotton thread in the bobbin. Here is the back before I sewed on the sleeve and label.

The quilt was inspired by this scarf featured on Street Anatomy. I cropped a screen shot, brushed in the heart (suggested by the arterial formation), and then printed it out on a sheet of Colorfast fabric.  The border fabric is from an old flour sack. It is machine pieced and quilted.  The small wall hanging measures 18.5 in X 23.75 in. I embellished the heart in the hand using yarns and thread. The back is a simple gray print cotton calico.

You can see what I mean in this photo. This small wall hanging quilt is 16 in square. It is machine and hand appliqued. It is machine quilted. The icicles in the heart are quilted with metallic thread. Here you can see the deep red thread used to quilt the “frame” and the metallic used in the middle.

The quilt has ruched roses made by hand and appliqued onto the quilt by hand.  The center rose is appliqued by hand and has extra batting just beneath it (trapunto technique) to give it extra dimension.  The stems and leaves are machine appliqued. The wall hanging measures 56 in square.  It is machine quilted.  Here is a close up of one of the corner ruched roses. Here is the center rose. The ...

The quilt is 8.5 in X 10 in.  The back includes a 2 in sleeve to facilitate hanging it.  I have listed it on Etsy for anyone interested.

I have made a few flag quilts similar to this one (note the one in my sidebar which hangs in my office).  This one is a smaller version of this QOV flag quilt.  This “all American flag quilt” is 18 in X 28 in.  It is machine pieced and quilted.

It is an Hawaiian appliqué done using the raw edge technique. I machine appliqued and quilted it. It is 20 in square.

I bought a set that included a fat quarter of each fabric. The fabric was then put away until I decided how I wanted to use it:  the spool block.  It combines my sewing (the spool of thread) and does a nice job of showing off the fabrics. The quilt is machine pieced and quilted.  Each block is 6 in square, but the finished quilt measures 41.5 in due to some slight shrin...

The center is quilted with cross-hatches.  You can see some of the feathers in the yellow border in this photo.  The outer border is done in cables.

U.S. Senator Charles Grassley first focused on the low-hanging fruit — researchers with unreported conflicts of interest (usually unreported money) from pharmaceutical companies, the same companies they conducted drug research for. Now he’s examining nonprofits in mental health, and first up is the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI). Senator Grassley has made clear that this isn’t a witch-hunt as much as a desire to get to the bottom of how the pharmaceutical industry funds its practices that makes it products so popular and widespread. It’s not about receiving money from pharmaceutical companies per se’, but rather being upfro...
