Christine says, "I used an ombre
fabric for the main part of the star. At the center and outer points I
used fussy cut pieces from the [kaleidoscope print] border fabric. Getting the pattern lined
up in the center was a challenge." The solid fabric areas allowed plenty of space for Lynn Simon's gorgeous quilting.

The strong horizontal lines of quilting on the background contrast nicely with the rounded shape of the clouds and the depiction of General Washington astride his horse, providing a three-dimensional effect to Cathie's work. <br />

Cathie continues, "[The] sky was painted with <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pebeo-Setacolor-Cardboard-Assorted-45-Milliliter/dp/B005KOH3OW">Septacolor paint</a>. The words were created with stencils and <a href="https://www.dickblick.com/products/jacquard-versatex-screen-printing-inks/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwPfn8LHa5wIVSx-tBh0f0wjYEAAYASAAEgL7yvD_BwE">Versatex ink</a>."</p><p>
Henry Lee, a major general in the Continental Army, was chosen by the Sixth Congress to write the eulogy after President Washington's death in 1799. He composed the famous words, "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."<br />

petals, which ultimately land in the water at the bottom of the quilt.
The colors of the petals change as they fall, shifting to the blue hues
of the water.</p><p>Martha Fine explains, "My granddaughter's name is Tallulah which means leaping waters. My mother's name was Rose. This quilt shows the connection between the generations." Details of the roses are shown in the closeup photo below. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMS4PpNdnu7DABDvH_U8WAl8e_P8vnZAMTf7XsSzwCLjKAUnFaiNlsYxnbRL3Nb7GWtQfGKVTn3we45Bmj37ZIFcjWY7Z_7Qx_H_NWlOsLxSimLOtVeilKPpGNOz7kpyKyzwZuC_Bnsk5EAbhpeX4dv0LnHaen-tmP4htjNkXv2hsPyfZQQpvmM0eSRQo/s5472/IMG_2176%20Falling%20Rose%20Petals%20Become%20Leaping%20Waters,%20Martha%20Fine,%20photo%20by%20Quilt%20Inspiration.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5472" data-original-width="3648" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMS4PpNdnu7DABDvH_U8WAl8e_P8vnZAMTf7XsSzwCLjKAUnFaiNlsYxnbRL3Nb7GWtQfGKVTn3we45Bmj37ZIFcjWY7Z_7Qx_H_NWlOsLxSimLOtVeilKPpGNOz7kpyKyzwZuC_Bnsk5EAbhpeX4dv0LnHaen-tmP4htjNkXv2hsPyfZQQpvmM0eSRQo/w426-h640/IMG_2176%20Falling%20Rose%20Petals%20Become%20Leaping%20Waters,%20Martha%20Fine,%20photo%20by%20Quilt%20Inspiration.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /> <b>Image credits</b>: Photos were taken by Quilt Inspiration at the 2023 Tucson Quilters Guild show.<br /><p></p>Quilt Inspirationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11976052222538291847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400399864487355753.post-29058900697777008182024-01-09T06:53:00.000-08:002024-01-09T06:53:37.181-08:00Free pattern day!

The message, "Peace on Earth", has special meaning at this time of year. As described in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annunciation_to_the_shepherds">story of the Nativity</a>, the heavenly angels appear to shepherds in their fields. The angels praise God with these words: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men." </p><p><b><i>p.s. Please see</i> <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_dmd=1&_ssn=quilt-inspiration&_sop=10">our E-Bay shop</a></b>

We are drawn to Jean Baardsen's quilt because of its elegant design and timeless appeal. Jean says: "This was my 2000 raffle quilt. The idea for the dove and streamers came from a Christmas card. I used green magic marker on blue fabric to make the earth. The dark blue background fabric already had the white hounds tooth and pink dots on it. "Peace" was added with couched gold trim. I wanted to call the quilt "Peace on Earth" and if you look at the detail, you can see the word "on" written in one of the pink dots!" (shown below).<br />

Jean Baardsen has been making art quilts since 1995; she also paints and creates works of art with mixed media. She says: "The principal source of inspiration for my art work is nature. Birds, fish, trees and flowers make frequent appearances. And then there’s the fabric. Thrift shops exist to provide me with fascinating fabrics for my art quilts. Whatever clothing is colorful, strange, unique, or weird makes its way home with me. Old blouses are the bread and butter of my fabric stash."<br />

<b>Oh ! Christmas Tree</b>, designed by Australian quilt artist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/flyingfishkits/">Wendy Williams</a>, was the subject of a <a href="https://opquilt.com/2016/01/05/oh-christmas-tree-quilt-a-long-a-giveaway/">quilt-along</a> by Elizabeth Eastmond at <a href="https://opquilt.com/about/">OPQuilt</a>. Elizabeth writes, "I hand-stitched all the flowers and birds while on a trip to Lisbon [Portugal] and Spain in order to complete the quilt in under a year. This pattern... was an inspiration of fun, whimsy, and technique. I did finish the quilt just shy of Christmas Day."<br />

Quilt designer Wendy Williams is known for her wool applique and contemporary, simple shapes depicting elements of nature, such as birds, flowers, and trees. They are rendered here in clear, bright wool felt embellished by Elizabeth with embroidery thread that is often in analogous or complementary colors. The beautiful birds and leaves give a sunny, almost tropical mood to this tree of life motif.<br />

At the base of the tree is a lovely Nativity scene featuring Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus, with the Star of Bethlehem shining brightly overhead. These pure, color saturated fabrics shown against the white background, along with Elizabeth's beautiful stitchery, provide a joyous sense of energy and liveliness.<br />

<b>Simply Splendid</b> by Ruth Davis won the Director's Award at this year's Springville (Utah) quilt show! While it is not necessarily a Christmas quilt, the colors and sparkle fit the season perfectly!! The 12 quilt blocks in this art piece are Disappearing Hourglass blocks; you can see a photo of the pieced quilt top at <a href="https://ruthiequilts.wordpress.com/2014/09/02/what-ive-been-working-on-3/">Ruthie Quilts</a>, along with a <a href="https://ruthiequilts.wordpress.com/2014/08/29/disappearing-pinwheels-and-hourglass-blocks/">photo showing her block construction</a>. Ruth notes, "Setting it on point with wide-open spaces allowed me to let my machine quilting "shine". I completed it using some computerized quilting, with micro quilting and pebbles done by hand." <br />

Ruthie added couching with semi-metallic cream colored yarn, and she painted the "pebbles" with metallic paint. This was followed by the application of hundreds of gems for additional sparkle. We couldn't resist showing several photos of Ruth's outstanding quilting and embellishments! And for more details on technique, see the August (2018) UFO post at <a href="https://ruthiequilts.wordpress.com/2018/09/01/augusts-ufo/">Ruthie Quilts</a>.<br />

This delightful, original applique quilt is one of our all-time Christmas favorites. The creator and quilter, Karen Turnbull, says that her Norwegian heritage inspired her to create a Scandinavian [Christmas] scene. "I was inspired to make a fireplace scene to hang
on my living room wall each Christmas, because my house doesn't have a
real fireplace and mantel." <br />

The technique is fused, raw-edge applique, using Pellon Wonder-Under, and sewn on a domestic Janome machine. Karen says, "I even taught myself to make Norwegian <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardanger_embroidery">Hardanger lace</a> to decorate the stockings and mantel." She also created the appearance of fireplace tiles, and quilted floral motifs within the "tiles", as shown below.<br />
