Bleeding Heart of Hope
I am new to this group and loving it! Just want to share my story about my quilt " Bleeding Heart of Hope". I entered a contest that was called " Around the World". We were given the pattern of large blocks that go around. You were told to embellish . I made my quilt using off white blocks so I could put something on top of it and it would stand out. I made green bias strips and drew a heart wreath which I applied the green bias to , sewing each strip down and intertwining them. I put appliqued…See More

Hi Ellen,I see we share in the fun of wee people's quilts. I love the humour in your spider with an umbrella! I wish I'd had a digital camera earlier, so many of my quilts have gone far and wide.We have a device that puts slides on computor, but most were reg. film shots, and we lost the album in a move.One of my favourite techniqus is to include the interaction of the child, ie; flap (barn door) revealing horse, and tiny toy stuffed duckling tucked into pocket of mama duck's wing.

Kathy Buell said… Ellen, to be honest, I haven't entered any of my quilts in any shows, I don't belong to any of the quilting guilds in town, probably because most of the other people that I see and talk to in the quilt store here are kind of snobbish and think they are above others, I really don't like that. I may be a little hard on my own work too, I know where I have messed up and although the quilts are still really nice, I just don't think they would win a prize at a show with the kind of computation I would have here in town. I'm still learning.
Yes, I am inspired by where I live when I make my Woodland quilts. I don't have pictures of all of them, wish I did, but I love to put Alaskan animals, birds, mountains and glaciers on them. I have even put the Northern Lights on one.

Thank you Ellen, you do some pretty nice work yourself. I am so excited about this sight and meeting and learning and being inspired by others that love to quilt.
I live in Juneau, Alaska and this is what I see when I walk out my door at home every day, what does it look like where you live?

She asked if I could take certain pictures and group them together has if the family were in one room....their living…
