First quilt - Jo Morton's Little Women's Club.
It is titled, "Abbygayle's Scraps"
Margo's 'Bargello with a twist.' Hand quilted.
Close up - used various designs and did a bigger stitch...wool batting.
Margo's 'Ohio Collection' quilt started in February 2004 and finished the blocks 2005. It had sat in a box to be finished for seven years. Summer of 2012 worked with no layout pattern and filling in the gaps. Measuring over and over to get everything to fit. The designs were taken from quilts made in Ohio during the nineteenth century. The patterns were inspired by ANITA SHACKELFORD from her collection along with her family and friends.
It was quilted by Ann Woodhead.
Note: So big was unable to get a lengthwise pic so flipped it in 2nd photo.
Her book is entitled 'OHIO COLLECTION' by Anita Shackelford
published by Thimble Works 2003.
This will in the judged section of the Maine Quilt Show in July 26-28th, 2013
Size is 100" x 83". smallest block was 4" and everything in between up to 20"
There were a lot of techniques. A lot of it was needle turn applique.
Used wool batting.
Close up of Eagle - E PLURIBUS UNUM (means 'Out of many one')
Janice and her ' Bargello w/ a twist'. Deadline to finish these is May 1. They will be shown at Maine Quilt show as a group challenge. They are all so different and unique and it has been fun to see them as they are finished. Very Pretty...
