Placemat Set for Monica

11 05 2010

This is a simple set of pinwheel place mats,  a Thanksgiving Day thank you gift for offering her balcony to watch THE parade down Central Park West.  I used a coordinating fabric for the opposite side. and quilted the pieces with running vines and leaves.  Not every quilting project has to be monumental.  These small pieces, given as gifts are so welcomed by the recipients.





Fall Pinwheels for Leslie

11 05 2010

This small accent piece was given as a gift to my friend.  The colors have strong contrast, and complimented her extensive collection of Czech pottery.  Four simple pinwheels, put together, actually make five pinwheels.  The forest green offsets the gold stripe pattern.  It is a center piece for her kitchen table.

This pair of ornamental quilts is a study in dimension.  The high contrast colors of red, black and cream make pinwheels with lots of motion.  Hang one on a wall and place its mate on a table to bring drama to the dining room.





Vicky’s Pinwheel

This table runner was made of triangles in the Christmas colors of red, green, and cream.  Five pinwheels align, alternating bright and subdued colorways.  Pieced borders and dedcorative stitching complete the piece.
