Finally all pictures of my quilts are taken and here are the rest of them :
 |
| Mariner's Compass 1999 |
 |
| Split Mariner's Compass 2000 (designed with EQ3) |
 |
| Detail |
This design actually "happened" when I was modifying a regular block design and EQ3 found the design too complex and went into strike. The result looked so interesting that I decided to sew it.
 |
| Home! 2000 (designed using EQ4) |
|
 |
| Mondlilie 2000 |
|
This was a result of taking Susan Brittingham's class Miniature Landscape Quilts at Quilt University plus a border designed with EQ4.

After assembling and quilting it I added some lines of Herbert Groenemeyer's song "Der Weg" from his CD " Mensch" which mean very much to me.
"Ich geh hier nicht weg, hab meine Frist verlängert
neue Zeitreise, offene Welt.
Ich hab Dich sicher in meiner Seele
Ich trag Dich bei mir
bis der Vorhang fällt"

| Weit, weit weg ... 2003 |
Taking Marilyn Belford's class "Realistic Fabric Portraits" at QU this was made after a picture of my late husband.
 |
| What would Frida say? 2004 |
|
This painting of Frida Kahlo was my choice in "Artists Revisited" with Marilyn Belford at QU
My other quilts were in my first post. Then I started restoring my old house (still do) and had no comfortable sewing place any more so I switched to smaller items including crazy quilting blocks and lots of (wild) embroidery. I finally finished a quilt that was started years ago and here it is:
 |
| Missing Link 2013 |
It's pieced, machine appliqued and quilted with machine and hand embroidery added plus beads. The disc at the top left side is an item I found in a drawer of my late father's table. Don't know what it was used for but it looks adequate where it sits now, don' you think?
such a variety of quilts using different techniques. Can see the EQ programmes are put too good use, do not have one myself but a friend in London has one and was amazed at what it will do when I was visiting her for a few days and she shared it with me. Mind you I would need someone here with me showing how yo use the system
