I just love this quilt.  It is called "Town Square" from the Midnight Quilter series that you can catch for free on www.craftsy.com or www.youtube.com. I used batik charm packs and black back ground fabric.  I came together rather easily and I love the way the colors of the batiks pop off of the black fabric. It was easy to make, now I just need to figure out how to quilt it.

Cherokee Culture Quilt

This is called the Cherokee Culture Quilt.  My 2nd grade social studies class helped me make this.  The idea was to assign each student a different aspect of the Cherokee Indian life style.  They were given a 10 X 10 piece of muslin to decorate and express their ideas.  I then took the squares and sewed them together in a quilt.  This quilt will be displayed in my classroom this fall for all to enjoy.

Beautiful one

This is a quilt using text.  This is my first time doing something like this.  The letters were improvisational.  I used purple and white scraps, and white yardage.  There is a little tan thrown in for contrast and interest.  At first, I thought that this would be hard, but it was not.  Once you get the basic form of the letters down, you can make any letter, small or capital.  The dove is appliqued but everything else is improvisational pieced without any templates.

Prince

This is my first attempt at an art quilt.  I traced the picture and free motion quilted all the lines and chest/head hair.  I then colored it with colored pencils and sealed it with a textile medium and then added a border.  I had fun and will probably try this technique again.
