My Designs

Viola-smViola’s Beauty is a 4-color, 5-fabric quilt set on point. The quilt measures approximately 70 x 70 inches. This quilt, with the pieced sashing, would have a lot of seams. The sashing is made with shapes from a Storm at Sea collection. I have also colored a version with plain sashing and cornerstones.

This design uses the Inklingo Orange Peel Deluxe Collection and the 6” Storm at Sea Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.

Viola (DeLong) Jones Dorgan is my 2nd great aunt—Adeline’s youngest daughter and Georgianna’s sister. She was born in 1855 in Ogdensburg, NY. Viola was married twice and had five children. Her first husband was a doctor who died at a young age. Viola died at a young age as well, possibly during the birth of her youngest child or shortly thereafter. Her children were taken in by other relatives but remained close throughout their lives.

Sewing Curves Without Pins

This is how I sew curves. (I dislike pinning!) I use a 3M Command Strip pasted along the side of my presser foot to help as a guide also. You need to be sure to use your 1/4″ presser foot if you are going to use a Command Strip as a guide. When I am done sewing curves, the Command Strip removes easily from my machine bed.

Udela-smUdela’s Star is a 2-color, 2-fabric quilt in a horizontal layout. The quilt measures 72 x 72 inches. This quilt is another design that is a simple one to print with only 2 fabrics and to machine piece with all straight lines. The Hunters Star Design Book has a simple sewing guide that you can print and place next to your machine when piecing.

This design uses the Inklingo 12″ Hunters Star Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Stonehenge by Northcott.

There aren’t any women in my family tree whose name begins with the letter U. I picked Udela from a short list of female names. It is English in origin.

Thea's Jewel12 December 2014Thea’s Jewel is a 4-color, 5-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. It measures 81 x 81 inches. This quilt uses two different 9 inch blocks. One is the versatile 54/40 Block (Electric Quilt calls this block Garden Party) and the Tiramisu Block found in EQ7. The 54/40 Block can be paired with different blocks for many variations.

This design uses the Inklingo 9” Storm at Sea Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana, Stonehenge Bejeweled and Artisan Spirit Shimmer all by Northcott.

Thea (short for Arimathea) is due on 14 February 2015 but will be arriving sometime before that date. She will be the newest member in my immediate family. I am making a smaller version of this quilt for her.
