Around the World

I am in love with this quilt. And I will give all the credit to Jinny Beyer for the design and the colors. This quilt is the centerpiece of my quilting studio. I am willing to sell this complex piece because there is a similar one on our bed which is our winter quilt. What makes this quilt complex is the number of pieces and the kind of piecing. For instance, click on the picture and look at the center medallion - the very center. That little center piece is made from eight identifical fussy-cut pieces from the border fabric. I also made another Trip Around the World and traded it for long-arm quilting services (a very satisfying trade for both of us). Then, using the leftovers I made a wall hanging featuring the Mariner's Compass for Janet, my body work specialist. I will continue to keep this quilt hung in my studio. But if someone makes me an offer, it would be a great excuse to work on something equally magnificient for that space. 83" 83" $480.

The Reversible Process - a Study in Batiks

Whether teaching quilting or composition, demonstration has always been my most successful method. In 2007 I taught some workshops in reversible quilting. It's neither harder nor easier - it's just a different way to construction a quilt that results in a design on both sides of the quilt. This quilt features rich batiks in blues, rusts, and browns. The reverse side is similar in color, but each fabric has some gold in it. 48" by 60"
$180.

The Reversible Process - A Study in Oriental Attic Windows

The basis of reversible quilt is to make blocks, quilt them, and then connect them. Each block in this quilt was pieced like an attic window with a solid Oriental back - a technique called foundation piecing. The Attic Windows side really does allow to viewer to look through the quilt at the colorful landscapes beyond. The borders were also completely quilted and then attached to the body of the quilt and then bound. This striking art quilt is perfect for throwing over a sofa or hanging on a wall.
