This is the last of the quilts on view at Empty Spools last week.
On the bulletin boards behind my table I changed the quilts several times.
On the left is "Is This Me?" Bodil Gardner - Denmark 2020
Machine and hand applique. Machine quilted.
On the right is one of my quilts, I always take one or two just to prove I do make quilts! "Palms" Del Thomas - CA 2023 Fused, machine quilting.
On another day I hung these two quilts.
"Lowanda Does Hollywood" Jean Ray Laury - CA 2000
Machine Pieced, silk screened, foiling, hand colored, and lots more techniques.
Someone always asks if I was the model! No, she did this before we met.
"Rooster at Freddy's" Ruth B. McDowell - Minnesota 2009
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted
Ruth visited Freddy Moran's home in CA and based this design on a 2-1/2 foot rooster on the coffee table. Only the real thing was all white, unusual for Freddy.
A glorious tribute to Asilomar, Empty Spools, and Pacific Grove.
"Asilomar/Pacific Grove" Mary Lou Weidman - CA 2013
Machine pieced, Machine quilted, hand and machine applique, hand embroidery.
All the places quilters know and love when they attend Empty Spools.
Hand dyed (arashi shibori) silk fabric, Machine pieced and quilted.
When Judith was working on this quilt her husband was reading "Krakatoa" about the Pacific island that erupted in 1883 and made the loudest noise ever heard at that time and also affected the weather around the world for several years. Mr. Content kept reading sections of the book outloud to her and she created this image. The silk gives a shimmering effect that is lovely.
