Steps to the Alter
Silhouette challenge
I had just finished reading Earlene Fowler's book, Steps to the Alter.
I had also found a wood pin on Ebay of the block, Steps to the Alter,
so this quilt was just begging to be done. The silhouette was traced
from free Dover clipart.

There's A Tree in the Meadow
We live about five minutes from Georgian Bay but are still near
farmland and beautiful fields. I have a favourite tree that sits alone
and at nightime it always seems to have a glow to it. The other day
it was surrounded by wild turkeys.
I had difficulty thinking up something for a sihlouette. I was telling
me son and he said "mom think of something that you like to look
at." He was right, then I got too many ideas., most were out of
my artistic talents.
I worked in layers for both of my designs.
I learned a great deal, one of the best things that came out of this
Challenge was how to come up with an idea when stumped besides asking
my son. I also used a few skills out of Pattie's book which I have just
about finished. Then on to Barb's book..

Time To Feed The Kids
I traced this bird along time ago and can't remember where it came
from.
This idea of feeding the kids came when we saw the birds scouting around
all of the birdhouses we have. At the moment they are just looking for
the right home.
They are pretty fussy. My husband said he is going to put up "For
Rent Signs" up because they are so fussy.
Don't you just love spring?

View through our front door window
I took a picture of the ironwork in our front door and traced part
of it to make a motif.
Using the sherbet palette I created a watercolor background (not using
too many fabrics because of file size!) which completes the impression
of the view looking out through our front door window.

Mom and Babies
Both of these blocks are out of the EQ Library. Corn and Beans
is also known by Hen and Chicks. So what better as a background for
the applique of a mother hen and her babies?
I've really had
fun with this challenge.
It's a good thing we only get to submit two quilts ... this is addicting!

Last week we had ducks fly into our small fish pond in the back yard for a little dip, they gave me the idea for this quilt. The quilt in the background is made up of Flying Geese blocks. This was a good opportunity to practice tracing of bitmaps to create the geese.

Come Into My Garden
I have admired these gate quilts in the magazines and it is on
my "want to do someday" list! I started with a one-patch quilt
using diamond shapes. I then designed an applique motif of the gate
and place that over the diamonds in layer two.

Machine Dreams I
I've been thinking about doing something with sewing machine silhouettes,
and so this seemed like a good start. I used the "Sherbets"
palette for the sampler blocks, and a Jennifer Sampou print for the
machine, to give it some texture and a more modern look.

An Evening Walk
This design is a copy of a tray I own. I tried several pieced backgrounds,
grandmothers flower garden, watercolour etc. but I think one piece of
hand dyed fabric may show of the design just as well.

Sewing Lesson
Sewing Lesson is
based on a silhouette I own of the same name. It was my mom's idea for
the spools as the background,
Mom is hoping to get her hands on this pattern soon. I can not wait
to see what she does with it, that is if quit fiddling with it.
