Tomi finished a quilt!

I finished a piece, but not the one I was doing in class. This is the scene I created from a photograph taken at a friend's wedding last August. They were married in Tennessee, by a lake, under a wood trellis. My very artistic daughter-in-law used oil pastels to color the water and mountains. I'm really pleased with the results! Now I have to finish the tunnel I started in the class!

Tomi Fay

Tomi Fay re-created the MacDiarmad Tunnel, on the Canadian Northern Railroad in Ontario which her civil engineer grandfather helped build in 1912. She has his diaries and has followed his railroad work.

Marge

When Marge showed all of us what she planned to do, it was radically different than the landscapes we envisioned creating. Marge's flowers are simply incredible. She is an artist with fabric and with paints. She also shared her keen eye for design with others of us who really appreciated her help.

Shirley

The combination of the fabric and the perfect coloring by Shirley, with the contrast of the dark trees and well-placed rocks makes this quilt stunning.

Carol

Official reminder. This is a schoolhouse, not a barn! Note the cupola for the school bell. The Nancy's Notions hay field fabric with the barbed wire fence makes the perfect setting. The border will highlight the schoolhouse and make it sing!

Pat Z

Pat wants you to know that she is not yet done! Neither are the rest of us. We look forward to the completion of all our quilts.

Doris

Doris was the grand prize winner. When I told her all my sons do four-wheeling, she said, "They can't drive on my quilt." Don't you just want to grab a Jeep and take off into her woods?
