The Trollies of Paducah, Kentucky
The 20th Anniversary of the AQS at Paducah was sustained in the
downtown by the wonderful spirit of the drivers and their trolleys.
The silhouette was drawn in patchdraw, with the much photographed background picture taken in the Paducah Expo Center and the windows lit to express the joy of all being there.

My first challenge design. I would love to learn how to piece this one-patch. It looks like it would be really hard to do.

Cardi Star Christmas Tree Skirt
Actual tree skirt in fabric completed 4-30-04 (just before sending
of file) for silent auction item to benefit Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club
of America (CWCCA)-- I leave for St Louis, MO by car today! This is
a continuation of playing with virtual borders and round quilts from
Dec 03 EQ club challenge.
Paper pieced design when making in fabric with a challenge finding someone local who could print copies of my taped together sheets from EQ large enough-- that route was chosen as four copies of the three basic units (pieced corner triangles with traditional methods) would take 35 or 50 sheets which is way too much cutting and pasting!
Actual tree skirt
was finished by turn method for simplicity and deadline to finish. Only
edges of slit are bound in colors coordinating with star point section
then very simply quilted in ditch with echo quilting around cardi silhouette.

Cardi Tricks
Designed as a block for a cardigan rescue quilt fundraiser. Pieced
card trick block with outline of cardigan welsh corgi. Tracing was involved
for me.. I need to take Patty's class... accomplished by importing bmp
from scanner to paint and carefully (I found it difficult) outlining
silhouette with a red outline in paint. That bmp was imported to EQ
for tracing as I needed color contrast to get detail in tracing. Finished
raffle quilt can be seen on the 2004 Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America
(CWCCA) National Specialty website.
This combines another
of my passions with quilting!

Sisters
These Silhouettes
are of my two youngest granddaughters, who were adopted in China. I
used the Mother's Choice block from Block Base for my background since
they are sisters by their mother's choice. The older girl's Chinese
name means "swallow in a tree", and the younger is "beautiful
jade", hence the colour of the background.

Fibonacci Kitties
This is kind of reverse engineering. I made a quilt using Ricky
Tim's Convergence book using a Timeless Treasures Fabric of cats playing
in and wearing hats instead of the floral you see here, and gold, pink
and purple fabrics with a small green accent border. Then I designed
this layout for the Info EQ Layout Exchange this month using the Fibonacci
numbers. My DH bought me Stash 10 for Mother's Day. The cats are from
EQ5 Motif Library, and it all came together in EQ5 for this black appliqué
challenge. I like the way the black cats accent the design, I'm going
to add them to my real quilt too.

I Count Cats Hmong My Friends
I have always been fascinated by the artistry of Hmong appliqué.
This is my interpretation. I put the dots around the heart, they are
usually on the heart. I used Stash 10 fabrics.

Made for Club EQ Challenge April/May 2004 - Black Applique
After finally choosing
the background block and coloring it a bunch of different ways and putting
in place the black applique. I then couldn't decide which one I wanted
to go with so I asked my dear hubby and he liked this one best and so
here it is. This was a great challenge and I enjoyed it.

Fire Dragon
Lynne Chambliss, Tucson, AZ, USA
This quilt is all
origional. I designed the background block and the border mofifs to
resemble woven bamboo screens. I drew the dragon in a sketch book, colored
the parts with bright markers to make tracing easier, scanned it into
My Documents, imported it into Patch Draw and traced it. What fun! I
thought it would be hard to do, but it wasn't hard at all.

NOTAN is a Japanese word which means "dark-light". The principle of NOTAN as it relates to design is defined as the interaction between a positive (light) and a negative (dark) space.
I began playing with this technique several months ago, occasionally replacing the white background with color. This month's challenge seemed the perfect place to play with this technique some more.
