Large Quilt 78 x 78
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted by Laurena McDermott
When I asked my son to pick out a pattern for a quilt, this is the one he chose from "The World of Amish Quilts". I tried to duplicate the colors as closely as possible. Thanks to the Second Tuesday Quilters for their encouragement as I battled the diamonds!
Batik Triangles, by Ginny Leonardos
Wall Quilt 36 x 45
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted
This quilt was made from "block of the month" at Fabric Place. Making triangles using "thangles" was part of the technique.
Panda Time, by Kevin Long, Junior Member Quilt
Most Creative Design Prize, Wall Quilts.
Original.
Wall Quilt 34 x 50.5
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted
This is the first quilt I made by myself. I made it because I like pandas a lot and I wanted to be in the quilt show.

First Prize, Large Quilts.
Large Quilt 90 x 100
Machine Pieced, Machine Appliquéd, Machine Quilted, Machine Embroidered, Computer Printed Fabric
For my Grand-daughter's 3rd birthday. I hope she has half as much fun playing with it as I had making it. Alphabet patterns are from Redwork and Beyond.
Thanks to Nancy Howard for her help choosing just the right fabric and quilting pattern for the borders.
More Fun Than Sewing Curtains, by Phyllis Maddox
Pattern Name: Feathers and Wheat.
Other type 51 x 31.5

One of three that hang in the windows of my music room. Made of white satin quilted with heavy blue thread.
Amish Beauty, by Kathleen McCormick
Pattern Name: "Center Diamond" by Rachel Thomas Pelman.
Wall Quilt 41 x 41
Machine Pieced, Hand Quilted
This quilt was begun during the RSQ show in 2003 as a demo for handquilting (some of you helped in the center - thank you!). I thought I would finish it at my leisure and 5 years later it is done. Feathers take longer than I ever would have imagined! It came from the book Amish Wall Quilts.
Wild Stars, by Delores McCravy
Pattern Name: Sawtooth Star.
Large Quilt 77 x 87
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted by Laurena McDermott
I made this quilt for my granddaughter Alanna's high school graduation gift. It was designed by Jan C. Wildman of Orlando, FL and found in the "Big Book of Scrap Quilts".

Leapin Lizards, by Carolyn McShane
Large Quilt 75 x 90
Machine Pieced, Hand Appliquéd, Machine Quilted by Kris Barnes
This quilt began as a demonstration piece on circles at the RSQ 2007 quilt show. A trip to Puerto Rico inspired the addition of iguanas and the vibrant colors.
Travel Time, by Carolyn McShane
Large Quilt 61 x 80
Hand Pieced, Hand Appliquéd, Machine Quilted by Kris Barnes
This quilt was started on a trek to the Midwest adding fabric purchased in each state we drove through. I didn't know where I was going (with the quilt that is). After the apple-core beginning, the roadway just seemed to fit.
Woven Ribbons, by Carol Miller
Pattern Name: Rail Fence.
Large Quilt 82 x 100
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted
A gift for my daughter Carrie's first apartment, this quilt was on her bed when dirty water rained through her ceiling, drenching everything. Luckily it is a busy pattern, so it cleaned up well! I loved quilting with the cloud-light wool batting. Carrie's name is quilted in the border at least 4 times.
Blues in the Night, by Arline Morrison
Original.
Wall Quilt 28 x 27.5
Hand Pieced, Hand Appliquéd, Hand Quilted, Hand Embroidered
The sorrow I felt about 9/11 inspired this piece. The abstract design represents New York City after the destruction. The verticals suggest what the city will be when rebuilt. The lower part of the design represents the debris left at Ground Zero after the disaster.
Mountainside, by Arline Morrison
Third Prize, Wall Quilts.
Original design.
Wall Quilt 29.5 x 41
Hand Pieced, Hand Appliquéd, Hand Quilted, Hand Embroidered
Mountainside was the title given to this abstract landscape when it was finished. I worked on it bit-by-bit, making design decisions as it evolved. When completed, there it was - a mountainside. All my works are one-of-a-kind and are never duplicated.
Twist and Shout!, by Kathleen Mullendore
Pattern Name: Twist 'n Turn.
Large Quilt 55 x 69.5
Machine Pieced, Machine Appliquéd, Fused, Machine Quilted by Barbara Malek
In writing a new book for Quiltsmart in MN, this is one of 10 quilts in the book. I love using the Robbing Peter to Pay Paul printed interfacing. So many quilts. So many different looks.
Tulips for Paul, by Kathleen Mullendore
Pattern Name: Tulip.
Wall Quilt 53 x 67
Machine Pieced, Machine Appliquéd, Fused, Machine Quilted by Barbara Malek
This is another new quilt for the book I am writing, Rob Pete & Friends, for Quiltsmart in MN. I enjoy using their printed interfacing because you get the look of curves without having to do curved piecing. YEAH! I love curves but hate piecing them.
Summer in Provence, by Bonnie Newman
Large Quilt 61 x 61
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted
Created from Hoffman "samples" and blending fabrics, using a pattern in "Spectaular Scraps" by Judy Hooworth/Maraget Rolfe.
Chateau au Lac, by Bonnie Newman
Wall Quilt 22 x 16

Based on a photo of Chateau Duingt on Lake Annecy, France and started in a class with Bea Grayson.
Kay's Flower Baskets, by Ellen O'Brien
Large Quilt 72 x 76
Hand Pieced, Hand Quilted
This quilt was found in my cousin Kay's hope chest after her passing. It is sad that no details are known about the quiltmaker or the fabrics.
Parade of Pastels, by Ellen O'Brien
Large Quilt 86 x 100
Machine Pieced, Hand Quilted, Machine Quilted
This quilt was started at a wonderful class taught by Donna Callahan of the Somerville Recreation Committee. The class eagerly awaited the arrival of each additional block!
Noel Joy Love Peace, by Elaine O'Neill
Wall Quilt 40 x 50
Machine Pieced, Machine Appliquéd, Hand Embroidered, Machine Quilted by Patti Sawyer
This Christmas quilt was started with a group of ladies in Kingston, who all purchased the same 'kit' of fabrics. Everyone used their fabrics in different places, plus we all added a couple of fabrics. It is interesting to see how we all used the same fabrics and pattern and have very different but very similar quilts.
