Annabelle and David's Wedding by: Terri Edersheim

  Kasey's Wedding Ring by: Tammy Wilcox

My story behind this quilt is that my daughter was getting married on September 24, 2011 and I love making her quilts. I had 3 months to make this quilt. Wow! I needed to make her a wedding ring quilt and I did not like all the traditional weddding quilt designs. So, with that said. I used EQ7 and designed my own quilt. I wanted to incorporate embroidery with the quilting so I found an EQ block which was a wedding ring partial and it was the same as my embroidery design. When I put all the embroidery designs together (96) 5" blocks I had to look at my design to put them in the correct order to form the weddding rings. I used the colors of her wedding. I have had 3 open heart surgeries in my life and now I am not able to work, so my husband knows my love of quilting and art, so he bought me a longarm so that I could finish my projects myself. I could never pull the quilt through the regular machine. It was too big and heavy. I love being able to start and finish my quilts. My daughter sent me a thank you card in the mail for the quilt and bridal shower in the mail. I opened my envelope and the first thing it said was " When do I get my quilt back". She is so funny!

Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did.

Bambi by: Sharon Bolton

Baby Bump's Bambi Quilt was made for my not-quite-here-yet grandson.  It was wonderful using EQ7 to design this project.  I like being able to try different colors in a layout, which of course is easy-peasy with EQ7.  I designed all the blocks.  Rather than scan the Bambi fabric, I laid embroidery designs to give the same look.  Pieced by me, partly quilted by me, partly professionally quilted.

 Scott's Animals by: Cyndy Fisher
    I made this quilt for my grandson. I designed, made and quilted the entire quilt - machine stitched in the ditch. I also machine embroidered/appliqued the animals using patterns from BunnyCup Embroidery. As with most of my quilts, I started with a vision of colors I wanted to incorporate. My daughter mentioned that kelly green in the quilt would be nice. I knew I wanted to incorporate embroidery into the quilt. Once I found the animal patterns at Bunny Cup, I figured out what size of block I'd need for stitching them. Then I started playing around with designs, block layouts and colors until I came up with something I liked. I had 11 animal patterns I wanted to use. The overall size of the quilt is not a standard size - it's just what turned out when I was done. I normally "shoot" for an approximate size and then work the blocks and borders until I come out close. The blocked border was fun to put together, however, I did not use a block pattern for it. It is so fun to have the challenge of designing a quilt and putting it all together! Nice to have a couple grandsons to sew for!!!

Sex and the City by: Helga Irnberger

This is my  Quilt “Sex and the City”, a Lonestar in the middle of New York Beauties. It was shown at the Exhibition of Quiltgilde Austria in Vienna, end of October 2011 and won the second place.
It is my idea, my sawing and my quilting. I made it last February and it is quilted all over, not even one square centimeter  is without free quilting.

Charlie's Snowball and Nine Patch by: Beth Donaldson


I drew all the blocks and units with easy draw. This quilt took about one week to make. It is machine pieced and machine quilted. I made it for my niece who had her second baby, Charlie, on October 30, 2011. It was fun and fast. The only tricky part was keeping the fabric in order while I pieced.

Tapenade by: Christine Brown, Editor-in-Chief of American Quilter Magazine

Meredith Schroeder, president of AQS and publisher of American Quilter, chose my quilt Tapenade as the the cover quilt for our upcoming March 2012 issue. This was an unexpected honor for me, and truly a quilting dream come true.

The reason I’m sharing this with EQ is because the quilt was designed in response to an EQ challenge last year focusing on the Ohio Star block. I scanned fabrics I already owned into EQ7 and used them to design the quilt. Attached are the EQ mockup, a flat photo of the quilt, and also a PDF of the March cover. The quilt was longarm quilted by Rebecca Segura of Zeffie’s Quilts.

The pattern and complete instructions for Tapenade are in the march issue of American Quilter, which will arrive in AQS members’ mailboxes around the end of January and on newsstand by Feb. 16th.

Bluebird of Happiness by: Lynn Lybolt

I entered this one in the State Fair and won a first and Best Applique.  Since I am not over fond of applique, I was thrilled with the award!

Reggie's Nightmare by: Michelle Baker

This quilt is titled Reggie's Nightmare. My brother loves to solve Rubick's cubes and similar puzzles, but he doesn't let me play or unsolve the cube. I designed, made and quilted this quilt for him for Christmas. It features cubes in the steps to solving the puzzle.
