Designed for May, 2007, clubEQ challenge: Baskets and Embroidery.

Many of my special interests are displayed on these shelves. I used embroidery and pieced blocks from EQ6 as well as the text tool to tell some of my "story."

St. Charles, IL USA

Designed for May, 2007, clubEQ challenge: Baskets and Embroidery.

To create a non-traditional setting for the traditional Basket blocks, I set blocks into an 8-Point Star layout from the Layout Library>Basics by Style>Stars. The Feathers are from the Embroidery Library.
The coloring of the quilt evolved by using the new Random Recolor tool.

This reminds me of the year I planted my flower borders with all sorts of marigolds, coriopsis, coxcombs, and other red and orange flowers. They looked so pretty against my white picket fence but when I went out to get a bouquet for my dining room I realized that none of my beautiful flowers would go in my pink and blue wallpaper. I ended up having lots of orange and yellow bouquets for my kitchen.

Fernandina Beach, FL

I love with working with the Delft Blue colors, but when I finished this, it just seemed to cry out for a zinger fabric. The hot pink seemed to holler "Pick me, pick me!" The little spools seemed to fit the corners perfectly once I changed the colors.

The blocks are from the EQ Libraries and the avaiable Embroideries
I had a lot of fun with the embroideries which I had not used at all before.
I couldn't figure out how to flip them though

Only the bow is original
I couldn't find a way of putting the applique bow (Layer 2) on top of the embroidery(layer 3) so had rearrange my original idea

Sometimes less is more. In my mind's eye I can see these lovely baskets of flowers by Cactus Punch adorning a simple tablecloth.

Since my sewing machine does not have the capability to link to my machine for embroideries I designed my second quilt with quilting stencils. Not exactly emboideries, but this I can do.

Canmore, Alberta

These embroideries are from EQ library, Cactus Punch - Always Fun - Baskets. So this quilt satisfies the challenge criteria. But my sewing machine does not have the capability to link to my computer for embroideries and so I could never make this quilt.

Canmore, Alberta

This tablerunner layout came from the EQ Layout Library. I used both Pieced blocks and Embroidered blocks for the runner. And "The Quiltmaker Collection Vol 1 " arrived in time for me to use one of the designs to complement the EQ6 border stencil.

Flower Baskets

There were a lot of baskets in the embroidery library so I decided to make a "sampler" quilt using them as well as some of the pieced basket blocks from the EQ6 block library. I chose "Basics by Style - Irregular Grids - 17" from the layout library as my starting point. I also used the printing on the quilt feature. And "The Quiltmaker Collection Vol 1 " arrived in time for me to use one of the designs to complement the EQ6 border stencil.

Center of the quilt is an embroideryblock from the library.

I think,this theme is a wonderful chance to design a Redworkquilt!

Basket Stars with Flowers

This 20" x 33" row quilt was designed for a narrow telephone nook. The basket at the top is a variation of Curved Handle Basket from the Foundation Pieced library. The bottom row is Basket Pinwheel from the Contemporary Pieced library. Embroideries are by Pfaff and Cactus Punch.

My 17-year-old sewing machine does 'first generation' embroidery so as a designer of quilts using modern embroidery, I'm a bit bogus.

Sunnyside, Washington

This quilt is Ami's auction size: 9" x 11.5". It is probably of no use as a pattern, though: I sized the embroidery motifs at whim and I don't know if they are that flexible in actuality.

The basket is an adaption of the 'Curved Handle Basket' from the Foundation Pieced library. The embroideries are from Cactus Punch and Viking.

Thought I'd get a jump on Christmas decorating! I followed Barb's lead and started with a template from the Quick Quilts project collection. I tweaked the border to personalize it, and then added a basket block and an embroidered poinsettia to meet the requirements of this month's challenge.

I used blocks from EQ6 libray. I found that the pieced basket blocks had a modern touch and that's why I used a embroidery block with also a "contemporary" look.
Cheers from France.

I used all the blocks from EQ6. I am very fond of the border!

This quilt represents one of my other loves - cats. Both blocks and embroidery come from the EQ library.

The little black and white cat in the bottom left hand corner, represents my own cat, Bianca who died 2 years ago aged 19.

Guildford, England

The basket blocks were adapted from some I saw in a French quilting magazine, "Quiltmannia", the emboidery comes from the EQ library. This quilt represents one of the things I like to do.

Guildford, England

The center part of this quilt was the design I used in my first quilt over 20 years ago. It was made using poly cottons and cottons with a strawberry print in two colour ways and looks as fresh today as when it was first made. There is only a very little machine quilting on it. This is how I would use the same design if I did it again.

Torquay UK

I thought the clean lines suited this design very well
