Icarus Abides: I made this quilt using the
"bargello" technique, which involves sewing fabrics into strips, slicing the strips
into various widths, and sewing them together again. By varying the width of the strips, the
curve can be made as gradual or as sharp as you like. It's machine pieced and machine quilted.

Through the Looking Glass: The Three Moyas This quilt
is my first—and last—attempt at paper piecing, a technique in which you first draft the
pattern on paper, cut the paper apart on the lines, then use the little pieces as a pattern and
sewing guide. Since each piece in each star is a different size and shape, the trick was to
keep the little pieces organized before you sew them together—I learned this the hard way.
The quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted with several different types of embellishing thread.
Only the yellow thread shows up in the photo.

Through the Looking Glass: Rather than having an image
for inspiration, this quilt came from the name of the episode. In this case, the looking glass
is a bit "off" and the reflected image seems to change and shift as you look at it.
This quilt is also machine pieced and machine quilted. |
