At last - some finished projects!

19 years ago

I've finally managed to finish a couple of projects:

This is from my guild workshop a couple of weeks ago:

And this is my donation for Lynn's breast cancer auction:

(Lynn, if it's okay, I'll send the quilt to you after my July 2 guild meeting.)

I feel like it's been forever since I finished anything. Stay tuned...Shakespeare in the Park should be done this weekend! :)

    Donna, great work, I love the stain glass, that binding must have been hard, are is it press on ? the breast cancer quilt is very nice. I know when you get stuff finished what a great feeling we get! YEA! Rene

    They are both lovely. The stained glass is really cool and I love pink and green together. Can't wait to see your version of SITP.

    Donna, they're both beautiful! I'm glad to see some green in the quilt you made for Lynn's guild auction. I'm working on mine now and emailed her to make sure a little green was acceptable and it is. Whew. I love that plaid border!

    1. They are both beautiful!

    2. Take a look at Poetry Collection by Moda. Your pink and green one reminded me of this quilt I saw at an LQS
    this week that I would love to make.

    3. I'd like to know more about Lynn's breast cancer auction. I've been looking at the ones on EBay and haven't seen anything I like to bid on.

    Beautiful quilts, both of them. Great job.

    I can't wait for pictures of Shakespear in the Park! That quilt is on my to do list, and I'd sure like to get it done this year.

    What lovely work you have done! The stained glass is a masterpiece, and the other has such lovely colors. Well done, you!

    Awesome!! grace

    Both of them are beautiful.

    The first one immediately reminded me of those plastic/metal things my brothers and I used to make when we were kids, by putting them in the oven. I have no idea what they're called. Only your quilt is much more elegant.

    I LOVE the color combination for the breast cancer quilt! The border ties it together really nicely.

    Beautiful quilts, and what a lot of skill and work must have gone into that stained glass one!

  • 19 years ago

    Thanks for all the nice comments! The stained glass one was done in a workshop with Karen Kay Buckley. The "leading" is that fusible bias tape (expensive stuff!). You trace the design on the background fabric then glue the colored pieces in place with water soluble glue stick. Then you fuse the bias tape in place and sew it down with a twin needle. Before you sew you layer the backing, batting & top, so it's QAYG.

    The fabrics in the other quilt were one of those pre-packaged fat quarter bundles that I got at Hancock's, so that's why they are so well coordinated! :)

    No, Kathi, it's just layered up from the background - background, colored fabric, fuse bias tape around the edges, sew it down! It was really pretty easy - I finished it in 2 days.

    They're both beautiful!! I love stained glass quilts, and would love to learn how to make them someday. The breast cancer quilt is also great - the border really ties it all together, and I really like that block set on point. Nicely done on both accounts!

    My apoligies. My computer has been on the fritz and I have just gotten back on-line. Your quilts are beautiful and waiting until after your guild meeting in July to forward the Breast Cancer creation would be just fine. THANK YOU!
