Into the Woods, by Bebe Fallick
Original.
Wall Quilt 59 x 41
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted, Paper pieced - Leaf embellishments
Tree patterns from Quilters Newsletter, #429. Presented as a flag pattern with 50 trees in star field position. This quilt is my design for placement of trees in vertical rows. Each tree has some green and the same trunk. Tedious paper piecing! Serendipitous find of the leaves.
Hoof Beats of My Heart, by Jeanne Funk-Gedies
Wall Quilt 24 x 36
Hand Appliquéd, Machine Appliquéd, Machine Quilted
I enjoy doing portraits. These goats, belonging to Julia, came to my attention as subject matter for making an interesting quilt. They are waiting for lunch and wondering where their other brother is hiding as he is not in sight.
Houses for Justin, by Jessica Gillis
Large Quilt 52 x 75
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted, Paper pieced
This was a block of the month project that Jane designed from Quilter's Way in Acton. The pieced blocks were easy but it took me a while to finish all the paper pieced houses. My son has just gone back to school to become an architect so this is for him for inspiration. Hopefully none of his houses will end up wonky!
Celtic Lesson, by Jessica Gillis
Wall Quilt 20 x 20
Machine Appliquéd
Last summer I went on a quilters tour of Ireland, visiting several quilt shops and having the pleasure of participating in a trunk show and workshop with Paula Rafferty. In her workshop she showed us how to make a circular repeating pattern, transfer it to cloth and use bias tape to make the pattern. This is my design and completed project from that workshop.

Machine Pieced, Hand Appliquéd, Machine Appliquéd, Machine Quilted, Hand Embroidered, Machine Embroidered, Hand Beaded
My daughter Galia is an art historian. Her interest in crazy quilts began when she was very young. Long ago she asked me to make her one. For the quilt, I drew inspiration from the crazy quilts of the Victorian era, but tried to give my quilt a more contemporary feeling.
Hexademania, by Nancy Howard
Large Quilt 57 x 60
Hand Pieced, Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted
For me, hexagons have always been an interesting shape to use in quilting. When the "hexie" craze began, I jumped on board. I loved looking for the fabrics which made the patterns look great. That meant using fabrics from my stash (a few) and buying more fabrics (to replace the ones I used from stash). This defeated my original intent of using up my stash!
Circle Point, by Nancy Howard
Pattern Name: Cathedral Window.
Wall Quilt 16 x 20
Hand Pieced, Hand Appliquéd
In the prescribed perimeter of 16" X 20", we were to use a piece of each of the fabrics donated by the WAQ member. We could use two additional fabrics and another one for the back. See if you can find the additional fabrics I used.
