Blogger's Quilt Festival

I'm entering my quilt "Reflective Windows" in the Blogger's Quilt Festival on amyscreativeside.com in the "Original Designs" category.


I was inspired by the blue shimmer of city windows. Once I had designed the basic block, it was actually fairly easy to put together using strip piecing. The final quilt measures 48 inches square.

Depending on how fast I can finish up the binding, I might have another entry for this festival, too. Who knows?

Teacup Pincushion

I made this teacup pincushion last year from a vintage Fiestaware cup and saucer. It was a fun little project, and now it's featured in Issue 18 of  Make Modern Magazine !

Maryland flag quilt

Inspired by the angular lines of the Maryland flag, the design of which is based on the Calvert family's 17th century heraldic crest, I created this small wall hanging/crib quilt. The quilt uses solid fabrics in shades of yellow and white with black and red accents, and is finished with straight-line quilting. The finished piece will be donated to a local child through Baltimore Early Headstart.

QuiltCon 2017

Two of my quilts were included in the "Quilt Design a Day" show at QuiltCon 2017, sponsored by the Modern Quilt Guild. One of the quilts included were "Reflective Windows," which uses a simple repeating block with a transparency illusion. The quilt is finished with straight line quilting in black, white and teal blue. The second quilt included is "High Line Medallion," which uses geometric forms to re-imagine traditional Medallion quilts. I added hand quilting to keep the texture soft and emphasize the angular shapes. Quilting:
