ALICE KAY'S QUILT GALLERY

 

These are some of the latest quilts I've completed.  If you want to see a larger picture, just click on the photo. New quilts will be added so check the site again.

"Largo Bears" was made for some very special friends who live in Florida.  There was not a pattern available for the quilt so after much agonizing I drafted the quilt.  There are several techniques used in this quilt - paper piecing, applique, mitering, and machine piecing.  The quilting was done by Maggie Kline.

I love all the different kaleidoscopes that came from one piece of fabric.  This quilt uses the "One Block Wonder" technique that can be very artistic.  There are a couple kaleidoscopes hidden in the borders too.  Again, Maggie Kline quilted this one.

"Ramblin' Rose, etc." is a very dramatic quilt as you can see kaleidoscopes, circles, and stars in the quilt. Maggie Kline added her wonderful quilting to this one too.

"Wild Flowers" is a more colorful version of Ramblin' Rose.  The flower print was in my stash just waiting to be used and this was a good project for the flowers.  Quilted by Maggie Kline.

"On Eagle's Wings" was a kit bought in Homer, Alaska.  Maggie Kline really captured the eagle's wings with her free motion quilting.  This is a Christmas 2007 gift for our son and his wife who lived in Alaska for a couple years.

"Curvaceous" was a fun curved piecing technique.  Again, Maggie Kline did the free motion quilting.  This technique is offered as one of my workshops.

This quilt was made for a cousin and his wife who had their first child in May 2007.  The penguins were machine appliqued and I did free motion quilting on the quilt.

"Alaska Stars" was made from a kit purchased in Soldotna, Alaska.  After this quilt top was pieced, it was mailed back to Alaska for quilting by Cindy Rainey.

"Oriental Bamboo" was pieced using most of my Asian fabric stash.  It was quilted by Maggie Kline.

Before quilting, counted cross stitch was an obsessive hobby.  I have several pieces waiting to be finished in some fashion.  Because the cost of framing all these projects is prohibitive, I decided to incorporate my quilting.  This is my first piece of quilted cross stitch. 

This quilt was made from another kit purchased in Alaska.  The pattern suggested setting the blocks randomly but a more symmetrical quilt was my desire.  Again, the pieced top was mailed back to Alaska to be quilted by Cindy Rainey.

"Birds of a Feather" uses an attic windows setting.  Maggie Kline did the free motion quilting.

"Italian Cathedrals" is a kaleidoscope quilt that reminds me of the cathedrals we visited on a couple trips to Italy.  This is my husband's favorite quilt.  He loves to explain the technique to our guests.  Again, the quilting was done by Maggie Kline.

"Flamenco" was recently developed for a new class.  The pattern is Fan Dance by 2 Much Fun.  I machine quilted this wall hanging. 

"Turtle Trails" is another Southwind Designs quilt.  This class has been very popular.

While teaching at Tennessee Quilts in Jonesborough, Tennessee, I saw the flamingo fabric and it made me laugh so I had to have some.  This quilt is "Tennessee Flamingoes" quilted by Maggie Kline. Another fun and easy project.

"Cowboy Christmas" was made one day when I wanted to do something simple.  It is a very east pattern and shows off the cowboy boot fabric.  The quilting was done by Maggie Kline.

This was a John Flynn kit that I bought because I had always wanted to make this pattern.  This was a fairly easy project to make and the batik fabrics are always interesting.  Maggie Kline did the machine quilting.

This Mariner's Compass is also a popular class using Judy Mathieson's freezer paper method of construction.

Black and white quilts have always intrigued me so tried my hand at one.  It was fun to make and has so much depth.  Again, Maggie Kline did the machine quilting. 

This quilt is a red dimensional strip pieced quilt.  It is a very easy but intriguing quilt design.

"Tucson Elegance" was made for our daughter.  It is a Wedgeworks pattern by Cheryl Phillips.  It is a dimensional wall hanging.

I used a lot of my stash to make nine patches.  The vertical ribbons have a black background and the horizontal ribbons have a brown background.  The intertwined ribbons on the borders are also black and brown.  The pattern in a Quilter's Newsletter magazine did not include the ribbon borders. 

This is the Saturday Sampler quilt for 2005.  The quilt blocks were designed for QuiltEssentials.  The machine quilting was completed by Linda Dunlap.

This quilt was made from a pattern featured in the "Asian Fabrics" magazine.  The quilting by Maggie Kline was done using a gold metallic thread.

This quilt was a block of the month project completed in 2005.  It is "Atlantis" by Southwind Designs.  It is a very colorful quilt using a technique to give it dimension.  The machine quilting was done by Maggie Kline.

"From the Bridge" was made for our son for Christmas 2005.  Again, the A-Mazing Grace pattern by 2 Much Fun was used.  There are at least 55 different fabrics used in this quilt.  Maggie Kline did the machine quilting.

This quilt was made using the A-Mazing Grace pattern by 2 Much Fun. It was machine quilted by Maggie Kline.

This quilt was also made with the A-Mazing Grace pattern.  There are over 35 fabrics in this quilt and it also was quilted by Maggie Kline.

Oriental Spiral is one of my favorite quilts.  Jan Krentz taught this class in Cheyenne, Wyoming in October, 2004.  The quilt was machine quilted by Jane Adams.

Aspen Leaves is hanging in our daughter and her husband's new home in Denver, Colorado.  This quilt was also machine quilted by Jane Adams.

Castaway was made using a modified bargello technique as well as machine appliqué.  I machine quilted this wall hanging. 

Some Bunny Loves You is a hand appliqué quilt made for our first grandchild.  The machine quilting was done by Rose Mcnerney.

Intuition is another quilt belonging to our grandchild.  I made this quilt and named it "My Life" because life is full of color and humor.  When our daughter and her husband announced their pregnancy to us, I asked how the nursery would be decorated.  I was told they were using a jungle theme so I showed them the quilt.  Was this quilt intuition?  I'm happy Emily Kay has the quilt and only hope it brings a lot of color and happiness to her.

This is Ricky Tims' Harmonic Convergence technique with some machine appliqué added.  Sometimes I try to use a fabric color that is out of my comfort zone and the orange certainly is different but I love the quilt.

Crazy Rays is a Buggy Barn pattern.  The fabric pieces are cut, shuffled, and sewn back together to make a fun quilt.  The machine quilting was done by Jane Adams.

This Border Quilt was made using one piece of striped fabric.  It is an easy technique that looks very complicated.

This is a closeup of the Border Quilt.

Dimensions was made to teach several dimensional techniques that can be used on quilts.

Mexican Stars is a pattern by Southwind Designs.  Curves are made from straight lines adding softness to the quilt.  I machine quilted and hand quilted this quilt (this was my first hand quilting).
This is another Southwind Designs pattern.  I really like the technique.

And here is another Southwind Designs pattern.  This is the Holly Table Runner.
This reversible table runner is quilted as it is constructed.  It is a quick and easy project.

This Spiral Bargello quilt is a good project for using color gradation fabrics.  The machine quilting was done by Jo Stack.

The Split Diamond quilt is a challenging but fun foundation pieced quilt.  The machine quilting was done by Maggie Kline.

Piece of Cake is a feathered star using Marsha McCloskey's techniques.  Great fun!!  The quilting was done by me.
