Crazy Quilt Restoration 54" x 72" |
This wool and satin Crazy Quilt had been rescued from being used as a painter's drop cloth. The owners' dog had chewed off 2 corners in a moment of boredom and through everday use, a number of the feathered embroidery stitches had come undone. A few of the satin patches had started to wear away as well. Using wools from my Grandmother's Scrap Collection, including a wool my Grandmother used to make my Mother's Going Away Suit for her Trousseau, I was able to rebuild the corners and replace the worn satin patches. All the feathered embroidery was repaired and a Hanging Sleeve was added. Private Collection, Edmonton, Alberta |
Alberta Teachers Association 51" x 64" |
This quilt was commissioned by the Alberta Teachers Association and made to commerate World Teachers Day, October 5, 1998. Each Local in Alberta was asked to submit a 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" block representing the teachers in their Local. The Blocks with the 'Checkmarks' represent the Locals who did not submit a block so that all Locals are included in this project. Machine pieced and quilted. On display at Barnett House, Edmonton, Alberta. |
Thank you for viewing a sampling of the commissions I have had the joy of working on over the past 6 years. |
