Quilt National!

So, I just returned from the opening of Quilt National 15.  It's a pretty strong show this year.  The Dairy Barn, and SAQA, provided lots of opening events, and generally treated the artists like celebrities. So now I can show a photo of my work that is in the show.  You can see a list of prizewinners here.

Shipment on Its Way to Pana

We've been busy! A shipment of 19 quilts began its journey to Panajachel yesterday.  Here are the latest of the bunch. The top three are from Pat B. in Idaho; then comes a log cabin from Uta in Germany; the green and peach is from Linda in Palm Desert; then more of my alphabet/number quilts.  The last is an alphabet quilt that I finished for a friend's new grandson in Anchorage.

 

 

Progress on Guatemala Bound

 

I know it's been a while since I posted anything about quilts for Guatemala.  But folks have been steadily working away.  Here are some of the recently completed quilts.  The Amish-style quilt above was contributed by Mary Arnold.  She and some folks from the Loose Threads Vancouver group pieced the quilt. I did the freehand quilting design using three different sizes of leaves.  This will make a child happy!

 

 

Chris R. of Vancouver donated some log cabin quilt blocks for the quilt below. I made additional blocks to make the top sufficient size.

 

The log cabin quilt above, Italian Courtyard, was pieced by Pat of Anchorage.  I made some of the blocks in the quilt below many years ago.  Pat put them together to make a cute crib quilt, Sundial.

I was inspired by friend Sally Seller's Pi Project, and became obsessed with applique letters and numbers.  I first made a quilt for my new granddaughter, Zara.

But then I couldn't stop.  I've become obsessed with all the possibilities when combining letters and numbers.  So here are some of the quilts I've made for Mayan Families.  Below are Addition, Pi No. 2, Small Letters, Multiplication, and Alphabet Mixer.

 

And finally, here's a quilt that Pat S. and I put together for Zara.
