Pointsettia and Holly

This table topper was made for my friend Kathy for Christmas. I designed a 5 spoke holly leaves and topped it with the flowers. I micro quilted around the appliqué and then added the inktense paint to highlight the holly leaves in the quilting.

Customer quilt

Just finished customer quilt by Michelle Quiltz! Customer requested non-traditional quilting and wanted a modern style.

Walking On Air

Here is the quilt with e-textiles that I created for my sister, Annette. It is inspired by photos from the International Space Station over the Midwest. There are 11 LEDs and 4 feet of el wire. The LEDs run on a 3 volt coin battery and the el wire runs on 2 AA batteries. There is a lot of thread painting and quilting. The winter sky constellations are highlighted with crystals.

Renee and Joe's Wedding quilt

Here are some pictures of the quilt I made for Renee and Joe. Today is their wedding. The quilt was started as part of a local Mystery Class with the blocks designed by Chris Milodragovich. I free motion embroidered the hot ari baloon from a picture of Renee and Joe in her baloon. I added traupunted balloons showing the stages of inflation and lift off. I did the quilting on my long arm machine which after some repairs is working great!

Kailua Turtle is in Salt Lake for the HMQS quilt show to be judged. The show starts May 8.

Here are a couple pictures of the finished quilt and a close up of the quilt.

Hibiscus and Monstera table runner

This is a gift to my friend Bonnie Moon. I designed this table runner. The Monstera are needle turn appliqued and the Hibiscus and Plumeria are fusible applique with thread painting. I echo quilted around the design with Glide polyester thread.

Christmas Stars Quilt

This quilt was made over several years, making a block or two each December after Christmas presents were finished and then put away for another year. After participating in our EQ design group, I decided to put the blocks together on point and designed sashing with asymetrical stars. The candy strip border was fun to add interest at the sides. I quilted Christmas trees in the green border, but they blended too much with the background and I went back over with a metallic thread. This quilt is enjoying the holidays in our room!
