"Circle those Scraps ~ 2019"
"Exemplary Track Machine Quilting" and "1st Place Piecing - Master
The first time that a quilt I designed (in EQ8) and created was awarded Best of Show. Many quilts I've quilted for others have achieved this status but this is my first at this show. It also received two additional blue ribbons: 1st Place - Pieced - Master and Exemplary Track Machine Quilting - Master, so exciting and rewarding!
The quilt's circles are scraps from 2019 pieced onto muslin, then Pieceliqued into squares and set on point with sashing and cornerstones. I was experimenting with color values with the gradated blocks ~ and the experiment was a success!

"Scraps Squared"
Judge's Recognition and 2nd Place - Pieced Master
Judge's Recognition and 2nd Place - Pieced Master
This block arrangement and construction took lots of thought and engineering to design. Each block was created separately and once arranged on my design wall, the perimeter squares were added to two sides, the vertical seams completed to join the blocks vertically, then horizontal seams. Took much longer than I thought it would but quicker and easier than having hundreds of squares on a design wall being sewn into strips one row at a time.
Even more ribbons!
"Three Little Abstracts"
NACQJ Award of Merit and 3rd Applique - Master
NACQJ Award of Merit and 3rd Applique - Master
I took a fun online class with quilt artist Lyric Kinard on abstracting and enjoyed creating these little quilts.
"Bright Trip" around the World |
A New Workshop!!!
Take the mystery out of creating a precise strata, that is sewn into a tube and cut into strips of pieced squares. Once a color arrangement is decided upon, each strip is opened at one seam and the fun of color arrangement begins. Plenty of demonstration, samples, and instruction included to carry your project to success. Contact me to book this dynamic full day workshop for your guild or group: oceanwavesqc@verizon.net 
"Persimmon Sojourn"

Been spending some time in the dye studio and created this mandala as well as a lot of other bits. Currently sell my hand dyes at lectures and workshops, hoping to expand it to my Etsy Shop...

and a 2nd Place ribbon for Exemplary Innovative.
Talk about Bling!
