Durango Quilter

This quilt has an interesting setting.

The branches of the trees are quilted in brown thread.

This is a good view of the various kinds of quilting used.

This is a neat wallhanging for the Fourth of July.

Here is a close up of the quilting.

This is the background for three miniature quilts that will be added on a clothesline between the tree and the house.

You can see the architechtural features fo the house and the curtains quilted in the window.

This quilt just begged for feathers!

Instead of stippling the background I decided to do these tendrils.

This is the central area of the quilt. The very large feather wreath is what caused me to do double feathers.

This is a booth sample for Maggie O\'Neil of Bolt Over Fabrics.

I like the double star effect in the piecing.

This is sooo much prettier in person. What a great way to use asian prints.

You can almost see the quilting here! I used a clamshell in the background and fans in the four patches.

Another Asian print quilt.

If you look closely you can see the large overall Pampas Grass design for the quilting in the central part of the quilt.

This complex quilt was pieced by Marietta P. of rural Durango, Co. using mainly Egyptian design prints.

I did a lot of SID, but also outlined the designs in the larger shapes.

A close-up view.

In this view you can see the spiral design I used for the background behind the mariners compass styple star.

Here you can see the floral design I created for the corners of the central medallion area.

A closer view of the spiral and flower.

I worked to bring out the Fractured Diamonds in this quilt.

Here are the roses quilted into the centers.

This would sure be a great quilt for the Red Hat ladies!

This is an original design by Mary Sue Burnham. (No pattern available)

Another section.

The border and sashing are quillted to look like wood so the entire quilt looks like a many paned window with a star shining through each pane. This quilt was made as a dedicated quilt for a local group called Womenade. It was auctioned off at the LaPlata Quilters Guild Small Quilt Auction.

I did freehand echoing, SID and Loop the Loop Stars.

A closer look at the quilting.

I made a couple of small wall hangings from some Playday quilting I did a while back. This is a Fantasy Flower design I made up.
