I learned how to make these fish from a class taught by Jean Wells at the Stitchin’ Post in Sisters, OR. It is a collage technique which uses Steam-a Seam on the back of the small pieces of fabric and then irons them over a template of a fish. My fish were brighter than most as I used mostly cottons and the other students used muted batiks.

The center of this quilt is 1 of 5 I picked up while preparing for the MPS auction. It looked like a space ship so went with that theme. I added three borders to increase the size to 42”square. The back fabric glows in the dark. I also used glow in the dark thread. In the last picture I tried to show the ‘glow’ when I turned out the lights.

Quilt 2 of 5. The center of this quilt was so precisely pieced by the quilter who donated it to MPS. Every point is perfectly sewn. I added the purple border and backing to complete it to 38X42” The three quilts I’m showing today have gone to Lullaby Quilts. I quilted it with swirls on my embroidery module.

My Sea Star Sampler is one of those quilts that takes on a life of its own. Started as a BOM but I veered away after two blocks and chose other designs to finish the quilt. Many of the fabrics used are evocative of the sea: starfish, schools of fish, sea anemones, seaweed, water, waves . . . hence the name. Finished at 59″ square.

‘Merry, Merry’ is a gift to a niece who just got married. This Christmas quilt is an instant holiday decoration. 59 inches square – good couch size for the newly weds. After thinking about using Robin Long’s tools, it’s the fun selection of fabrics, ability to use scraps, turned edge appliqué for center circle, the inset circle to set the compass into the background and those perfect corners that bring me pleasure. Sheer joy!
