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.
