Last year in 2022, I worked on several quilts and techniques. English Paper Piecing, Stack-n-Whack and fusible web appliqué have been my main passion lately. I will be submitting 2 quilts to the Bondville Fair this year, and perhaps a couple to the Bennington QuiltFest in September. I moved back to southern Vermont in spring … Continue reading What’s Going On

We get together in the Winhall Community Art Center here in beautiful Bondville, Vermont. If you are interested, please use my … Continue reading Stitch-n-B*tch Group
This will be a raffles quilt for the Bondville Fair. It is made from antique, hand-appliquéd butterfly blocks from the 1920's and 1930's made by two local Bondville ladies and donated to us. Below are images of it laid out at my house, and at the Stitch-n-Bitch club where the members helped me figure out … Continue reading Antique Butterfly Quilt, 96″ x 96″?, Vermont, 2023
Created during QVQ workshop with Jean Impey in January. I really enjoyed. It still needs to be quilted, but I expect to get that done soon. Now I think it will be a wall hanging rather than a table runner. I don't often do traditional piecing such as this elaboration on the Dresden Plate block. … Continue reading And Read All Over, 27″ x 60″, Vermont 2023
Since January of 2022 I have been working on technique that I had forgotten about - EPP! It's been a while, but I stumbled upon Tula Pink's Nova pattern and I am hooked! The first one is on the right below, it's my Alice EPP. It took me about 2.5 months to finish the top, … Continue reading English Paper Piecing
I began this quilt in June 2022. It's my third English Paper Piecing (EPP) quilt and I'm still in love with the technique! It's based on Willyne Hammerstein's Gitana Fiesta (see middle image below). I'm working in lavenders and I'm really excited about this one. The piecing is simpler than My New Obsession, but the … Continue reading Gypsy Party EPP, 42″ x 51″, Vermont, 2023
This is a small rimpa of irises that I made in front of the TV one day in January 2021, which I thought my realtor Mary Louise would really like, as a closing/parting gift to her. She did! These are the photos she sent me of it in her living room. I am almost finished … Continue reading Irises Rimpa for Mary Louise, 8″ x 10″, Philadelphia, January 2021
This Stack-n-Whack quilt (Bethany Reynolds) was made as a sampler for a stack-n-whack class I was to reach in January 2022 for my local quilt store Country Treasures. The class did not run in January, but I hope to offer it sometime in the fall and will add a registration link when the time comes. … Continue reading Whacky Butterfiles, 39″ x 99″, Vermont, 2022
To get myself back into my favorite fusible-web appliqué work, I decided to create a quilt in memory of an old friend who has passed away. This will be my kitchen quilt, featuring an exquisite French Bresse hen named after my dear friend Henrietta Dickison. This is based on a pattern by Laura Heine which … Continue reading Hen Rietta, 28″ x 28″, Vermont, 2023
Love this Obsession pattern as an intermediary step between Tula's Nova pattern (Alice EPP) as my first EPP, and the ultimate Passcaglia (from Willyne Hammerstein) which I want to do at some point. Loving working with Karen Tripp's floral fabrics, bringing in my own too. I found out about Karen Tripp's new website (TheDIYAddict.com) which … Continue reading My New Obsession EPP, 37″ x 37″, Vermont, 2022
My first English Paper Piecing piece based on Tula Pink fabric. Nice project, easy to do and no big decisions to make in the beginning. Nice hand work that I needed back in my life. Hands bounce back from the work and strain just fine, so grateful! The top took 2.5 months to piece, now … Continue reading Alice Nova EPP, 56″ x 56″, Vermont, 2022
