Mine is a work in progress crazy quilt. Some of the material is from my dgm who is now passed, and some is from past projects there are so many different mediums to look at. It has each of my children's and their children's names on it, and I'm "crazy" in love with the victorian Ladies and eblems that I machine embroidered on it.

Mine is hard to see, but my two granddaughters are having fun with the Princess quilts I made them for Chistmas. The quilts were made with inexpensive Disney princess panels. I used lavender fabric with a bubble pattern in it for the sashings and border. Definitely quilts to be dragged around and played with!

My avatar is a "spinning spool" made with scraps of very bright colors. This was made for my GS's half sister who I absolutely adore.

Mine is called "Radiating Diamonds". A friend of mine that I met through one of the quilt groups in the area designed the pattern. Everyone in the group bought the book and made them. I liked that pattern so well that I made 2 of them for my two children for Christmas that year. It is so much fun to make and really quite fast. She then told us how to quilt it and it was done on my home machine. Both were queen size. The two quilts complete from cut out, to binding were finished in three weeks.

Mine is from an old quilting magazine of my mother's. I think it is called Exotic Blossoms. It's the only one of my quilts I kept. Kids and Grands got the rest. The color is appliqued to muslin blocks, then stitched together to form the overall design. It is my favorite of all the quilts I've made.

Mine is a copy of a Japanese print. The original is a DOVER publication and all are off copyright. My husband a I have a fondness for oriental. Our living room reflects that.
My is needle turned applique and is 2x3. Blew up a print and made templates.
Thanks for asking.

Mine was a brown scrap bag challenge. I had the bag for one year and never opened it. Finally the quilt show was coming and I had to do something. I opened it and found 3 x 3 inch pieces of the moose, some grey material (mountains I made from front and back side) tree trunk and a few pieces I won't mention. (yuck) We had to make our own design and this was the result. The hanging is 9x12 inches. I thought it came out just fine and I was definitely out of my comfort zone when I made it. Sometimes that's a good thing.

My is one of four eight point stars in a Baby Quilt I made for my niece. 1930 reproduction fabrics, hand pieced and hand quilted. Thanks for asking!! I had fun making it!

I used a Jinny Beyer quilt kit. I have been wanting to do one of her kits for over 20 years but was afraid to ruin her fabrics. I saw this pattern in the McCalls Quilting (May/June 2010) and couldn't wait for it to arrive. It reminded me of my hometown during the grape harvest. (I lived in the Napa Valley for 50 years). I quilted it with an all over grapevine pattern. Now I can't wait to do her teal version.

Mine is a quilt for my brother. He was in the middle of a very difficult divorce which involved five children he had basically been the main caretaker for the last three or four years they were together, I decided I wanted to make something that would be comforting for him.
This was before I was really interested in quilting. It is a rag quilt made of flannel. I found the pattern on the internet. It was a lesson for beginniing quilters

Mine was used with permission by the artist, Synthia St. James. It was on a graduation card I received when I earned my masters degree in social work. I made it into a quilt for tha Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. It earned $79 and some change. The earrings on the dancing ladies are 3D, made from jewelry jump chains. It's one of my favorites.

Mine is just a simple fusible applique which I made for a charity auction.

Mine is Missouri Puzzle that is set a bit different than the original pattern. It was hand pieced and hand quilted by my Grandmother (Grannie - Maude Woffard) and I think maybe her Mother (Sue Parsons). It was created in the 1930-40's. The pattern dates back to the mid 1800's and they probably got the pattern out of the Kansas City Star or Workbasket magazine or Harpers Weekly. It is one of just a few of our quilts that is all done is one color scheme. Most are scrappy quilts.

My Avatar is my Cat Misty and she is my quilting buddy. She is either on my lap or sitting on what I am making, she thinks she needs to hold my fabric from sliding off the table. She is a strange fun kitty that thinks she is a human and sometimes she will take of with my scraps! It's funny because she is more like a dog running off with a bone. She keeps her little fabric stash under my bed and she sleeps on it during the day.

Wow, I love your design. When I was just starting quilting I thought log cabins would get boring. Now I know better.

My avatar quilt is called "Log cabin Star". I made it from a jelly roll. I added to overall length of the quilt by adding a scrappy border on the bottom and top of scraps from the same quilt.

Mine is a quilt I made for my oldest son when he became an American citizen. His wife shows it to everyone who comes to visit. Not fancy but it means a lot to our family.

Very pretty quilt love it. But I am fairly new here and would love to know what an AVATAR means.
Thanks for your help.

Mine is a Trip Around the World and I gave to DIL for Christmas her and son are Navy Him retired and she served 4 years.

This is a wallhanging in Hawaiian Applique called "You Are In Our Hearts." It is needle-turn applique and is all done by hand (except for attaching the binding).

Mine is Lorraine's Garden, I worked on the hand applique while she was hospitalized before she passed away. Special lady, special reminder

Mine is a BOM that I made for my DGD for her birthday while she was a freshman in college. My second quilt.

Mine is a doll quilt made for my only grandchild for Christmas. It has a solid strip on the side and the flowered portion is machine quilted in the pattern of a smiley sun face with rays beaming from it. Design is my own. Not real fancy like most here, but a good beginner project.

Mine is Cathedral Windows done by hand for no other reason than that I am not good at machine piecing (getting better). Background is what I call calico. some places call it muslin. The windows are made from scraps. My uncle is now the proud owner.

Mine is a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt called Double Delight.

Avatar is the picture you see when someone answers. Look to the left.

Oh ok Thanks

wow...I love looking at all the avatars...what creative bunch you are!!!
Mine is not somethinhg I did...but a tribute...back in 1970, when I found myself bored of doing embroidery work on pillowcases...I saw this article in a McCalls magazine of this beautiful quilt with another page of stitches...and the light bulb went on!!! And it's still blazing...I can use all those embroidery stitches in crazy quilting! I was hooked...but it wasn't until 1999 that the seed blossomed and I started my stitching journey...so my avatar is a tribute to what got me started!

mine is called "dancing mugs" my own pattern, my own hand dyed fabrics, made for my cafe' in ND, it hangs in my quilt studio now. I wanted some thing cheerful and happy looking.

I love your quilt...having lived in Japan! don't you love Dover...I get their emails weekly and they only send out copyright free!!!!

This is such an interesting thread - thanks for starting it !

How nice of you to ask this question. I am enjoying the many responses. My avatar is a called "Rock'in Baby". It is a disappearing nine patch created for a little nephew that with a rock-n-roll nursery. Modern baby, modern christian rock musician parents who wanted a black, white and red theme. Their wish was my ... opportunity to try something new! Rock on Baby!

My avatar is the MardiStar block from Quilter's Cache. Their directions are lousy but as you can see I muddled through.

If anyone's going to try this themselves, I'd recommend (1) printing a full block template and "color it in" with fabric swaps to see how all the colors work together - this certainly kept my head and piecing straight!; and,
(2) stitching the center star seams first with thread color to match the star color to where the color meets the background; then, after backstitching, change thread color to match the background fabric. This way, when you open up the block to press, all thread "disappears" from the center because it matches.

My Avatar is called ULS2 and is a pattern by Karen Stone. I fell in love with this pattern when a very good friend of mine had started one in Aqua's and Rust browns. I had never paperpieced before and she insisted I could do it. I went home and showed a picture to my hubby and he loved it too. He said make sure you do yours with blues, the rest is history. Definetly loved paperpiecing and am so hooked.

very pretty I love it.

Unfortunately, you can only view a "tease" of my 30 year old sampler king-size quilt that I made for my DH some 30 years ago, as Bella decided that it was far more confortable than the leather couch. It was all hand peiced and hand quilted.

Judy, I love your quilt!! have only seen one other besides mine. I really like the light background

Mine is one of my kitty boys Harry. He does have a habit of looking soooo cheerful :P

Mine is a quillo all done by hand, no machine. My first quilt made for my granddaughter. I saw a quillo/puff quilt at a John Wayne Museum. I loved how it looked, came home, looked for instrutions on the internet.
Had DH figure out how much how much fabric I would need for a queen sized quillo and that was my inspiration, and since then, I have been hooked
I even embroidered my granddaughters name in the lower right corner with no pattern, all free hand

My current avatar started with the panel that was given to me - which is a God Grant Me The Serenity prayer. Because the prayer is surrounded with color and appears as you are looking out a window (actually framed as such) I decided to use multiple colored "bricks" with white to represent the mortor. The colors start at a mid-night navy and grade down in color. Almost all the colors used are also in the panel and the bricks surrounding the Panel are definitely used, once I graded down in color going lighter and light, then I reversed going from light green to a hunter green on the bottom portion. The picture doesn't do it any kind of justice and everyone that saw the quilt fell in love with it. This quilt was made for my brother because of the creed and it was a surprise gift for him and his wife. I will say that I am often in awe of many of the avatars on this board - they are so amazing!
