What to write?

by Karen on December 30, 2008

in life in general, quilting links, quilts

I got all the Xmas decorations taken down, packed away and the house is in order!  Glad to have that job finished.  Now maybe that the holiday is over I can get back to some progress on my quilting.

lighthouse.jpgHere is a picture of another of my quilts.  I made this one back in 1997.  It is amazing how far I have come with my quilting since then. We had taken a trip out to the Oregon coast(1995) and I loved all of the lighthouses we had seen.  When we got home I found a pattern for a lighthouse wall hanging that I loved.  I wanted more than a wallhanging so I did row of flying geese around it and then pineapple blocks  around that.  It is amazing when I look at the quilting now to see how much I have improved in the past 12 years with my quilting.  This is the first quilt that I made on my 3 roller quilting frame.  My applique skills were not perfected (I’m not saying they are now either).   I wasn’t going to tackle the tiny seagulls so I painted them instead with fabric paint.  The top railing around the top of the lighthouse is drawn on with a fabric pen.

Another question:

question #3:  What form of quilting originates in Laos?  (maybe this one will be harder for some of you, I know these have been easy)

A – Molos

B – Pan Dau

C- Trapunto

D – Sashiko

E – Palampores

————————————————————————-

Answer to yesterdays question is A - Log Cabin, Pineapple, Press Piecing
