“Braided” Quilt

This quilt was the result of a project at the local quilt circle I attend. It uses lots of fabrics, so we had a strip swap first in order to get a huge variety for the quilt. I machine pieced and machine quilted it, finishing in January, 2006. It’s a small throw, measuring 36″ x 42″.

‘Tis the Season

In August, 2015, I took a two-day class in Phoenix from Claudia Dinnell; I’d fallen in love with her digitized quilt design, and taking the class was the only way to get the pattern. The class was well worth it, too, as she has a special technique to make multiple hoopings for embroidered blocks a bit more precise. I worked on the quilt on and off for several months and finally finished it in April, 2016. It is completely machine embroidered and machine quilted. Most of the quilting is free motion, though I did use the walking foot for the parallel lines in the red borders. The quilt measures approximately 62″ x 62″.
