This was my second quilt; I made it maybe in 1990? Drue helped me add some more blocks, find a border fabric and redo it to make it look nicer. I loved that shade of blue/purple with the pink and black.
This one I made in 2002. Yifan and I had gone to China when we were married. I was very enchanted by a Buddhist Temple that was called The Garden of the Sleeping Buddha and the green fabric in this looked like a Buddhist garden. I added fabric with koi, gingko leaves, maples leaves, ferns and chrysanthemums. Those two light diagnol streaks remind me of light shining through the trees in the forest.
I made this about 10 years ago for Sadie. It's a big I-spy quilt with the diamonds having the object pictures in them. I made Sam one too, but actually paid to have someone machine quilt that one.
This was a much too ambitious project for me! I could barely sew when I made this!I had no idea how to sew those circles on their faces so they all look a little funky!I did however do the quilting with my sewing machine. I started the binding and it looks very hideous. To fix this one, I'll have to do a little work!
This one is pretty blah. I wanted to make a light colored strip quilt. I'll have to think what to do with it. Maybe applique circles on it or something. I probably made it in 2001 or 2002.
I made this when I lived in Arizona, maybe 1997? I loved the honeysuckle border fabric and wanted to do something with stars. It reminds me of Civil War Quilt colors.
