Re-visiting a quilt by Terry Grant 12-09-17

This is a copy of the post for June 6, 2010.  I continue to admire Terry's work and her blog is a treasure http://andsewitgoes.blogspot.com  I will continue to read it and purchase her quilts when I can.

"Laurel" Terry Grant 2008 12"W x 12"L

Terry's techniques and style appeal to me and I find her pieces so very tempting. There are several of her 12X12 Group works that I would love to add to TCQC. I don't see this quilt as a Christmas quilt (I don't do Christmas any longer), but as a tree quilt - it fits into my continuing fascination with trees. Terry wrote about this quilt twice in her blog. You can read those posts at:

You can see that she has used colored pencils or some other technique to give the berries dimension. The color here is not true, but I retook the photos hoping to have a better representation. No luck.

This post was when I started showing the backs of the quilts and sometimes details of the labels.

Del's quilts 12-07-17

"Shy Camel"  Del Thomas  2004  Approx 12"Wx8"L

Cotton fabric, cotton batting.  Fused, edge stitched, machine pieced and quilted.

 

I made quite a few little quilts in the early 2000s with different animals on them.  This has always been one of my favorites and I still have it.  But I can't locate it right now.  There is a little poem I wrote on the back, I'll quote it some other time.

Re-visiting a Bodil Gardner quilt from 10 years ago 12-03-17

I always enjoy Bodil's quilts and have previously posted several that have been shown at PIQF (check the sidebar for her name). She has such a sense of whimsy and an great eye for color.  This quilt came from the SAQA 2007 online auction.

 

"Lady with a Mug"  Bodil Gardner - Denmark  12"x12"  2007

Mostly cotton fabric.  Machine appliqued and quilted

She did not title the quilt, so I added my choice.

 

 

The dress fabric appears to be a recycle.

 

                            Bodil often includes a mug in her quilts - seems to fit almost anywhere.

She covers every edge with satin stitch.

A very sparse label, but it at least has her e-mail address.

There are two short "sleeves" instead of one that goes the width.
