MDQPN 2006 Challenge "To Color or Not
to Color"
When I approached this challenge I was
struck by the idea of light and dark, not specifically color.
The movement of dark to light or
light to dark and so this became my interpretation of the 2006
Challenge. The
pieced background shows the movement from light to dark or sky
to ground. The vines show the need to search for light.
We all seek light in many forms in our lives just like
vines stretching towards the sun.

In My Shade Garden |

Dimensions: 25" X 25" |
Dimensions: 35" X 47" |
| This quilt
was the second in a series of quilts that have pieced
backgrounds and appliquéd vines and leaves. It was machine
pieced and hand appliquéd. This quilt was exhibited at the New
Jersey State Quilt Show as a part of the QPN Exhibit. |
This quilt
is the latest installment in my series of pieced backgrounds and
appliquéd vines and leaves. This is the 4th quilt. The 3rd one
is in my parent's kitchen protecting the walls from banging
doors. This quilt was also one of my first attempts to bead.
Beading is labor intensive but adds a lot of sparkle to the
quilt. This quilt has been exhibited at Mid-Atlantic Quilt
Festival, 2008. |

The quilt
was a personal challenge. The Triple Feather Star pattern is
from Marsha McCloskey's Book, Feathered
Star Book 1. The appliquéd border is my own design. The
feathers in the center star are half square triangles that are
3/8" finished size.
This quilt has been exhibited at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show in
Hampton, VA, Paducah and Winterthur. |
This quilt
was made to commemorate the 20th anniversary of my Grandparent's
death. The pictures are from 1905 thru 1984. There are pictures
of both my grandparents as children, their college graduation
pictures, their 1924 passport picture, and pictures from their 8
circumnavigations of the world. It is a blend of silks, batiks,
and cottons. It has be exhibited in Paducah, Mid-Atlantic Quilt
Festival, Vermont (3rd place), and now Houston. |
