Deborah Boschert quilt in TCQC 07-22-12

Deborah Boschert, who is a member of the Twelve x 12 group http://twelveby12.org/index.html ,
   repeats many of the same motifs and techniques in her quilts, but she mixes them up so that each quilt is different.  This is the third quilt added to the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection. 
 The other two have been posted at:

"Meandering Home" Deborah Boschert 2011  12" x 12" 
Cotton fabric, cotton thread, cotton embroidery thread.
Fusing, hand stitching, machine stitching and quilting.

The little two-branched trees are a reoccurring motif on Deborah's quilts, as are the long stitches over the center area of the fused binding. 

 She also repeats these tiny houses, and curving tendrils.  Deborah enjoys adding hand stitching to her quilts. On the sides she has used machine satin stitch instead of binding.

 She covers the backs of her quilts after the stitching is done - I'd much prefer to see the stitching, no matter how chaotic it might be.  A nice hand lettered label on which she lists her website as a contactwww.deborahsstudio.com

The photos are not showing, Del. I am only seeing the cracked icon.

I've seen quite a few of Deborah's quilts in person now, and it always amazes me that she can combine her "signature" motifs in so many ways. Each quilt is clearly recognizable as hers, yet has its own personality.
