Count Your Blessings

loriwish — Sun, 19 May 2013 02:23:08 GMT

This was originally created for the "StitchThis" contest to win a Bernia Sewing Machine. I came in third. Even though I didn't win the machine, I appreciated this quilt as it reminded me of how grateful I am every moment to be a mother. While making this, my son was recovering from a shattered hip after falling while rock climbing 850 ft. up in Yosemite. It took over 6 hours of dangling on the cliff for rescue. Needless to say, I am thankful to the rescue climbers and I AM COUNTING MY BLESSINGS! ! ! ! !

What Duck am I?

Berg-Rezmer — Sat, 11 May 2013 22:16:35 GMT

I took a photo of this duck at the Hawaiian Hilton 2011 . I fell in love with the reflection in the water. I did not know the name of the duck until yesterday when a fellow quilter did some research and told me it was a Ring Neck Teal from South America. I thought I would still keep the original title for the quilt even tho I now know the type of duck. It is raw edged fused with very little fabric paint for highlights on water and spots on duck.

Park City Barn

Berg-Rezmer — Sat, 11 May 2013 22:04:59 GMT

I took a picture of a Park City Barn in Utah. You can see paintings and photos of this barn in all the art gallery's in Park City. I though I would do my version as a quilt. I added the fence in front for more interest and the raven is a photo printed on cotton and thread painted for more accent . I used some fabric paint for shadows. It is raw edged fused and quilted.
