Quiet Rink
This represents the Richmond Rink . Closed in 1992, was the home of John Curry, Torvill & Dean and numerous British Champions and amatuers. Alas, it's never been replaced.

My Games
These are some of the games that I was playing with, either at school like the "marelle" (blue for Sky, brown for Earth, and a grey background for the... ground!), balls, a pink jump rope or at home like the cuddly toys, dominos and chess. Question mark is for all the games that I cound't draw (also the chessmen!). I took numbers and teddy bear from the Library. I draw the other blocks.

This represents one of my favorite games but I did "cheat" a little because there werent' enough c's and l's so I just used as many as I needed!

Numbers were fairly easy to draw; perhaps next time I'll be interested in drawing letters. Red is because I remember playing this game when it was hot.

Card Party
I used the card trick block and designed the Ace blocks in wreathmaker. As soon as you could recognize your numbers Grandma taught all my brothers and sisters and I to play cards(5 brothers, 2 sisters). We still play cards when we get together! It is a great way to spend family time. Now our kids enjoy playing cards with us.

Spin the wheel and win a trip or car, maybe a boat, or money. Gordon's letters were used to make the words and numbers in the wheel.

Go!
Go is a Japanese game of strategy (its also known in China & Korea by other names).
The object of the game is to gain territory. This is done by surrounding space or your oppositions pieces
The game depicted on the quilt is about half way through - the player playing black went on to win.

Animal Antics
I realised that many games we play are named after animals, so decided to use them in my quilt. I think the idea was better than the finished product, but the intention was there! So, here is "Duck, duck, goose", "Pin the tail on the donkey", "Cricket", "Go fish", "Piggy in the middle", "Cat and Mouse", "Chicken" and "British bulldog".

Peek-a-Boo
I was looking for a block to fill in my center medallion so I did a search for Peek A Boo, no results. I decided to search for just peek and there is actually a block called Peekaboo! It's in BB2. All of the applique blocks are from the EQ library, with a little editing my me :) This one was a lot of fun!

Portable Cribbage
My husband and I have been enjoying an ongoing cribbage tournament for years! The center columns are where we keep the ongoing score of games. I envision making this small quilt, putting a pocket on the back of it for some pebbles or whatever for markers, and a little tie to hold the roll closed for travel--much easier to carry than the beautiful wood one he made for us years ago.

Rook
Card trick block
from EQ library.
The colors red, yellow, grren, and black represent the four different
suits in Rook.
Rook is a game that my family has enjoyed from before I was born. I learned how to play it from my parents. They let me sit with them and "play" their hands. Later, I played on my own. My husband learned and we played with my parents. There are many expressions we use to this day that come from the Rook playing days with my parents and their friends.

Peer Pressure in Hollywood
Inspired by the academy awards,
otherwise known as "fitting
in"
same layout, calmer block & coloring. I'm not much of a game player
or a famous people watcher- These squares seem to have their own paths
in life, but they all look alike to me.
Mary Allenspach
Puzzled People
Started out working on "Hide & Seek" Then
I got to thinking how everyone I know hides some part of themselves
from the world, so....
Each set of 4 squares represents a person, but part of that person is
hiding among 3 pieces from another. Some of my fabric choices looked
better on the block worktable. They look like two different fabrics
in the smaller blocks, thats true of people traits too. Originally I
set the background as black & white wild, but decided that green
is the color of hope, and we all need that. This version is very calm
as the first fabrics I used made the file over 2MB
It started out as layout Floating On Point-5. So if you are in the mood
for a puzzle, take each group of four squares, pull them off to the
side of the quilt. Now look for the "odd" one among the four
and put it aside. Eventually you will be able to match it with three
from another group.
Clear as mud?- well that's life!

Hopscotch
This reminds me of playing hopscotch in my early years.
I'm a complete beginner with EQ5 and I made this quilt by going into the Layout Library and selecting basics by style and then chose Sashed Blocks.
The fabrics I used were from EQ Libraries, Designer Fabrics Basics and chose Hoffman 1

Tic-Tac-Toe
My first attempt at doing a challenge quilt. Since I'm just starting to learn EQ it's a very simple design. The x's and o's are from the Letter Challenge that Gordon hosted last fall. Would have liked to change the background of the blocks but since they are motifs on layer one I couldn't figure out how to do that.

The floor with the spining top.
I thought of a child watching a top spin on the kitchen floor. This is more of a bird's eye view. This is an orginial design.

Duck, Duck, Goose
This is a children's
game played by ages 3-5. The rhyme goes:
Duck, Duck (repeated as many times as desired), Goose as each participant
is touched on the head. When "goose" is called the player
chases after "it". If "it" beats her back to her
place she becomes "it" and the cycle begins again.
This quilt is made up of 3 blocks of ducks and ducklings and one of
goose in the pond. The border is wild goose chase.
