My husband’s grandmother had made a quilt using all ties. I really liked it, so I thought that I could make one too. I found a pattern that I liked called “Diamonds are forever “. Since I really didn’t know what I was doing, I just did a quilt as you go method to complete it. I had gotten ties from friends to make it. As a thank you to all that gave me ties, I had made pillows for them. This is my first quilt that I have made.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5658″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”5818,5819″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Steampunk Galaxy” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:23|text_align:center”][vc_zigzag][vc_column_text]Pieced By     Jeanne Moersch

Robbi Joy Eklow is the designer of the pattern. I modified it so it can hang in my daughter’s family room. Steampunk (gears) is a multitextural aesthetic which can represent any of a number of things…resistance, self-assurance, Jules Verne, Romanticism, the post-industrial world. I used the fabrics and colors to send the gears into outer space. It is appliquéd and machine quilted on my Bernina 185.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5654″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”5814,5815″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5647″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”5812,5813″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Prism Quilt” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:23|text_align:center”][vc_zigzag][vc_column_text]Pieced By     Shelley Johnson

When I first started quilting, I was overwhelmed with all the patterns and fabrics but this particular project from Purl Soho really stood out to me. I slowly acquired enough of the pricy Liberty of London fabric so I could achieve a color palette similar to the shop sample. I started working on this project at a mountain retreat with the guild where I received SO much wonderful encouragement and advice from my fellow quilters. I think the memory of starting this project will help me value the completed project that much more.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”5816,5817″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Sloths Unite!” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:23|text_align:center”][vc_zigzag][vc_column_text]Pieced By     Joann Villamarin

I thought this would be an easy pattern. But lining up the blue and white stripes was more challenging than I expected. Many thanks to those with more experience who shared their knowledge with me (and calmed me down on more than one occasion.) Also, sloths are magnificent![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_raw_html]JTNDcCUyMHN0eWxlJTNEJTIyZm9udC1zaXplJTNBMTRweCUzQiUyMGZsb2F0JTNBbGVmdCUzQiUyMiUzRSUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZsb25nbW9udHF1aWx0Z3VpbGQub3JnJTJGcXVpbHRndWlsZGFjdGl2aXRpZXMlMkZxdWlsdC1zaG93JTJGMjAyMC1zaG93LWhhbmQtcXVpbHRlZCUyMiUzRSUzQ2ltZyUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGbG9uZ21vbnRxdWlsdGd1aWxkLm9yZyUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAyMCUyRjExJTJGTGVmdEFycm93LnBuZyUyMiUyMHN0eWxlJTNEJTIybWF4LXdpZHRoJTNBNTBweCUzQiUyMHBhZGRpbmctcmlnaHQlM0EzMHB4JTNCJTIwdmVydGljYWwtYWxpZ24lM0FtaWRkbGUlMjIlM0UlMjBQcmV2aW91cyUyMENhdGVnb3J5JTNDJTJGc3BhbiUzRSUzQyUyRmElM0UlM0MlMkZwJTNF[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDZGl2JTIwc3R5bGUlM0QlMjJ0ZXh0LWFsaWduJTNBY2VudGVyJTIxaW1wb3J0YW50JTNCJTIwd2lkdGglM0ExMDAlMjUlMjFpbXBvcnRhbnQlM0IlMjIlM0UlNUJESVNQTEFZX1VMVElNQVRFX1NPQ0lBTF9JQ09OUyU1RCUzQyUyRmRpdiUzRQ==[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
