Ardie (Instagram: FatQuarterAddict) shared her first appliqué quilt made for her daughter who is ending six years of work in the roller derby. Ardie used a Facebook picture of her daughter to design the appliqué. She quilted this on her longarm.
Polly began making this improv quilt in a workshop with member Debbie. It’s “Floating Squares,” the first score in Sherry Lynn Wood’s book “Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters.” Polly walking-foot quilted it on her home machine.
Monique (Instagram: FoleyDerenne) used a pattern in “Modern Patchwork Magazine” to make this quilt that she walking foot quilted on her home machine.
This is the second “Cartwheels” quilt Dee (Instagram: QuilterDee) has made. The foundation paper piecing pattern is by Lee Heinrich (Freshly Pieced). Dee walking foot quilted it on her home machine using a double cross-hatch design.
Beth (Instagram: Blue_Dragonfly5) designed this mini quilt for “Curated Quilts” (magazine) house challenge. She named it “Nana and Papa’s House on Wheels” as a remembrance of five years spent living in a motor home. This is the fourth time Beth has entered a “Curated Quilts” challenge.
At our tables, we exercised with paper and pen, to draw quilting ideas for three different quilt tops. Thank you so much, Debra, for sharing your skills with us!
