applique table topper and red & white challenge

Amanda Murphy applique design. 
I think I'll add this to quilted mandalas
to make a table topper. 

This year Cocheco Quilters Guild is celebrating
40 years. I designed this panel for the Red and White Challenge.
Ready for quilting.

Spring 2020 projects: Cocheco Red and White, Fun with Line and Wash drawing, LLQG Rainbow

I love working on two or three projects at a time.
Here's the best fun: Draw the design, applique and embellish, then Quilt. 
This wall hanging is almost ready for the quilting. 

Draw the design, Paint on watercolor paper using permanent black ink lines and
Dye-Na-Flow ink. Finally, I tried it on fabric, carefully trying to stay in the lines and FMQ.
This 9X9 cutie is hanging in my hutch cubby.
Rainbow quilt challenge for LLQG . This one will go to David's House.

More pictures of King Quilt finished November, 2019

  Finally some quilting on our King size bed quilt. I used Quilters Dream Request to make the quilt a little lighter. The medallions were fun to do and look great on the bed.
