Even more quilts from Empty Spools 04-24-24

As I said last evening I didn't take as many pictures as I thought I had, or as I should have taken.  Perhaps someone  who reads this will  contact me and share pictures they took, especially the 12"X12" Bird quilts. Anyway, I will continue to  post the pictures I have. 

These two 12"X12" by Terry Grant of Beaverton, Oregon, were hanging on a separate bulletin board from the others.

Cotton fabrics, cotton batting. Fused, machine applique, machine quilting. 

"Making Quite an Entrance"  Yvonne Porcella - CA  

Commercial cotton fabrics, hand-dyes.

Machine appliqued, pieced, and quilted. About 45" square.

One day I posted three crows and three owls, all 12"X12"

"The Raven - Nevermore"   Pamela Burns  2019

"Another Collector"  Diane Wright - CT  2012

Quilts from the SAQA 2019 auction. 11-24-19

Here are four more of the quilts I added to TCQC from the SAQA auction in October. 

Blown by the Wind   Diane Firth - Australia  12"X12"

Viscose felt caught between layers of polyester net and machine stitched.

I find Diane Firth's exploration of see-thru quilts fascinating. 

And here are three more bird quilts for the "Bird Section" of TCQC. 

"Burrowing Owl with Rick Rack"  Linda Frost - Kansas  12"X12"

 Screen print with thread painting on cotton fabric and rick rack. Machine pieced and machine quilted. 

"The Raven Nevermore"  Pamela Burns - Indiana

12"X12"

All the materials were hand dyed or painted. I used rusted cotton fabric for the background. The Raven is hand painted with acrylic paint on cotton. I used a raw edged applique technique and adhered it to the background using fusible web. I machine quilted the piece and added hand embroidery and beading to add interest to the piece.

"Chickadee in Garlic Series"  Doreen Prakshot - Tennesee

12"X12"

Acrylic painted up-cycled bemberg silk, Warm & Natural cotton batting, cotton backing, rayon, cotton and poly threads, free motion stitched.
