Agnes' Zen batik wallhanging

This wallhanging is the first top I quilted for Agnes.  I love scrap quilts and I love batiks, so it just doesn't get any better than this.  Agnes suggested the freehand water quilting design and it goes perfectly with this quilt.

Ann's Oceanica lap quilt

Ann made this for her friend.  I freehand quilted a water design in the center and the outer border, and did some ruler work in the inner border.

Diane's "Wheels" quilt

Diane made this quilt for her grandson, who loves wheels.  The primary borders surround fabrics with wheels--cars, trains, tractors, bulldozers, race cars, tractor trailers, etc.  It's quilted with freehand loops in a primary variegated thread.

Aren't these wheels cool??

Rae's embroidered teacups

I don't own an embroidery machine--my thread collection is large enough!  So I can only imagine how long this took.  There are several styles of teacups and teapots, all embellished differently, alternating with blocks of embroidered floral sprays.  The pink bows perfectly straddle the seams of the blocks.
