Something new to look at while I'm finishing old projects

I'm spending the weekend on the last few quilting stitches on the teacher quilt and then binding it. While I work on that deadline, here's a few more from the MCC quilt show. at left is a wedding quilt made by the two moms (one is Kathy Fast, the inspiration for the quilt show idea) for their children's wedding in May -- it was hand and machine appliqued and hand quilted. I saw it in process at a retreat in January. They also made matching pillow shams. At right is Symphony of Fans by my mother Meg Suderman, based on a design by her friend Erna Elias. It is all hand appliqued, embroidered, and hand quilted. This is an oldie, but a goodie, completed about 15 years ago.

At left is another one by my mother, a stained glass poinsettia tablecloth or hanging.
This orange one is reminiscent of the convergence series by Ricky Tims, and a fun way of using a big piece of hand dyed fabric.


And this is another shot of my quilting guild's string-pieced lobster quilt, used as an example of scrap piecing by guild member in her workshop. She's hiding behind the picture, and I'm the one to the right.
