butterflywing asked me to post this quilt up for everyone.
this is the only quilt i actually own. i made it for myself 3 years ago and its hanging over our bed.
its a geisha panel by Michael Miller.
i put japanese family crests on the kimono and thru out the entire quilts (its the gold flower circle).
i also applique cranes thru out the quilt along with sashiko embroidery (done by machine).
then i applied silk flowers to give the flowers in the fabric a 3D element.
its going to be 9 pics total so hang in there and i'll get them all up.

no thats not me with the hula-hoop the blog and forum is really devoted to Weight Watchers and physical fitness. i used to own a health club and i train people for running races and weight training.
the forum is where we chat about nutrition, training, and life - i put together training schedules for them and they post back results/questions/comment.
when they found out i was a quilter they wanted to see pics of my work.
i'll post the other quilt when its all done. i still haven't settled on the border designs and i have to quilt it.
i plan on putting on beads, rhinestones, glitter, and some paint. i'll be keeping this quilt for our house so i can go over the top with embellishments.
