I am making a quilt for my daughter, Kim. White lace and satin from the wedding dress were used in each of these blocks.
|
This was my first block, and I think it is the only one where the
lace from the dress is not on the center block. This block has more of
my sister's tatting on it. |
|
The bow on this block is from the dress. I used the whole bow on
several blocks. |
|
My sister makes a lot of tatting for me and some of it is on this
block. I got a birthday card from her this week and it had yards of
tatting in it. I treasure each inch of it and I know my daughter will
too. |

More of my sister's tatting. |

This block has two very old dolls on it, the dolls are 41 years old
and came on flowers I got when my twins were born. One in pink, one in
blue, since I had a girl and a boy. The quilt is for the girl, Kim. She
doesn't like the blue on the boy doll, so I have to figure out how to
change it and still make it look like the other. That will be an
interesting process. |
Two additional pieces to share. These are not CQ but use some of the
techniques used in CQ.
I named this piece "Angle In My Garden". I have a vintage pitcher and bowl
with a lovely English garden scene on it. I reproduced that picture with
Silk Ribbon , Beads and CQ.
"Davis Mountains" is an art quilt I made. It is crazy quilted, but the
pieces have definite shapes. It is beaded and also has SRE. |
