I am not sure I did this right but I hope it is good enough to get me
the rest of the files so I can study them and perfect my technique.
I wanted to put an umbrella in the middle but the nodes must not have
closed because everytime I colored it, the whole block went black!

I used an embroidery
design I have been working on for the silhouette and I thought it looked
like a Morning Glory in this format so I added a colour wash behind
it to look like the sunrise.

Just a bit of fun! This uses a teddy block I made up. (It needs eyes added after sewing.) I don't know that I'd actually want to do all that applique though!

Normally the "A" word is not in my vocabulary, but one color
might be do-able. My DH likes simple, I like wild, but some version
of this may turn up on the bed in the not too distant future.

I've always admired "gate quilts" so I took this challenge as an opportunity to design my own. The gate itself is drawn in little sections and pieces, so if you go to the drawing tab you'll see all of my individual pieces. Those connecting lines will need to be ignored if the block is printed as an applique pattern. I don't think I could have drawn this as one piece! The background quilt is how I came up with the name. The hexagon one patch makes the flowers look like Grandmother's Flower Garden flowers.

My daughter and her daughter
The background blocks are fashioned after the "stack &
slash" blocks.
My daughter on the left, her daughter on the right.
When my daughter was a young girl, an artist did a silhouette cut-out
of her profile. It is framed and hanging in our home. The artwork is
not dated.
I took a digital picture of the artwork and converted it to a BMP so
that I could trace my daughter's silhouette in EQ5.
I took a digital photo of my granddaughter's profile, converted it to
a BMP and traced it in EQ.
I thought that my daughter's silhouette might have been done at about
the same age that my granddaughter is now.
From the traced drawing, it looks as if my daughter was a little older
than her daughter at the time that my daughter's silhouette was done.
I like this quilt ... I just might make it in real fabric. Or, maybe
just include a graphic of this quilt in a Slideshow that I will make!

This design started with the applique for the center Overlaid block. Borders were added with fabric that gave the quilt an almost stained glass look. The motief was repeated in the corners of two of the borders.

I started with the background offsetting the alternating rows so
that the background spiraled out somewhat. Then using star motiefs and
the copy and resizing functions I created a cluster of stars. Wreathmaker
turned that into four spirals of stars.
I needed the background fabrics to contrast with the black and chose
white and this fiery orange-yellow which, together with the outward
movement of stars and background inspired the quilt's title.

Mother's Love
I've always loved scherenschnitte, a traditional German art involving cutting intricate designs out of paper with teeny tiny scissors. I thought this challenge would be a perfect opportunity to showcase scherenschnitte on a quilt. Since Mother's Day fell within the challenge period, I thought motherhood would be a nice theme.
I traced parts of a copyright-free scherenschnitte design using patchdraw to make the motif. I thought log cabin would be an appropriate background for the motherhood motif as it evokes the warm feelings of returning home to my family's cabin in the woods and spending time with my mom. :)

Silhouette Challenge
I started with a simple log cabin block and overlaid it with a wreath
design from the library. I used one of the individual leaves for the
applique border and added some strip borders and half-square triangle
borders.

If only... :)
I was thinking... "what would wash out a figure well enough
to make it appear black." Duh... Stage lights. I thought that
having worked at a theater for 5 years and done countless musicals
and other performances that it might be appropriate. Anywhoo, music
is my favorite hobby. My dad is an opera singer and my mom used to
play her guitar in coffee shops... but I don't think that had anything
to do with it. ;)
