Sisters Quilt

Last year I entered the Sisters Quilt Block Contest (read about the contest here) and I was one of the honorable mention winners. I received my own block back and 17 more blocks. Half of those were hand sewn blocks that were made by Japanese women. Here is the block that I made:

This is the block that I made for the QBC (quilt block contest). I received a blue fabric packet and some others received green fabrics.

My block hanging in the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show last year, with an honorable mention ribbon attached. (Sun was shinning bright so the ribbon didn't show up very well.)

My block is the 4th down from the top on the left side of the quilt. As you can see some people had green fabric packets and others blue. I chose to use the blocks I won as the border to this quilt.

I created a scrappy neutral background and added the appliques. Sisters has a dual meaning. First this quilt will be on display at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in July and it also represents me and my sister. 

Hubby helping to hold this up for a photo, lol.

The label I created for the back of the quilt. I included all the women who made the blocks on the front and where they are from.

Applique Women Quilts

I made these two quilts that are from Carrie Payne's applique designs. I purchased the pdf's from her Etsy store. The background fabric and the fabric of the 2 dresses were from my blog friend Norma, who sells Stampin' Up products and those 3 fabrics were from Stamping' Up. The skin was a stamp I purchased from Norma's Stampin' Up store. The stamp is called En Francais and it makes a perfect skin when I stamped it on some fabric. Thank you Norma for those fabrics, they were just the perfect fabrics for these 2 little wall quilts. I love them!

I added a handbag in her hand, using a pink tissue lamé fabric.

I added a flower and beads for her hair and I embroidered a "chain necklace" and added an earring as a necklace. I think I lost the other earring and had this one which worked great as a necklace.

I also added a necklace to this quilt using a heart charm.
