Miniature grandmother's flower garden quilt with rabbit

This quilt was made as part of a guild challenge for the 2016 Heart in Hand Quilt Show (Dawson County, GA:Sept 30-Oct 28). The quilt measures 12 inches wide by 18 inches long. I assembled it using the English paper piecing technique with hexagons that measured 1/2 inch in diameter. I then machine quilted it. The bunny rabbit was purchased for one dollar from a Goodwill thrift shop.

Cat Face--A portrait in purple fabric of my long-hair cat.

I take a lot of pictures of my female cat PT, and I particularly liked this one.

I decided to make an art quilt titled "Cat Face" based on this picture. I thought it would be fun to make her fur purple and to enhance the green of her eyes. The finished piece measures 45 inches high by 46 inches wide. 

Materials and techniques: cotton and pearl organza, tulle, rickrack, thread; hand appliqué, machine quilted.

"Cat Face" was juried into the 2013 East Cobb Quilt Guild Show in Marietta, Georgia and won third place viewer's choice at the Heart in Hand Quilt Guild Show in Dawsonville, Georgia.

"Stone Lions"--Art Quilt Wall Hanging

"Stone Lions" measures  36.5 inches high by 31.5 inches wide and was completed in 2012.  Photographs of iconic lion statues in Europe and the U. S. served as the inspiration for this quilt. Can you identify Georgia's Confederate lion? 

This piece was displayed the month of November, 2013 at the Bowen Center for the Arts as part of the Heart in Hand Quilt Guild show.

Materials: Hand-dyed and commercial cottons, paper, cotton embroidery thread, beads, acrylic paint.

Techniques: Hand applique, hand embellishment, machine quilting.
