Quilt Show — Quilts Galore

Created by Loraine Vettel's sister, in memory of their father.
The photos are of their father, the calligraphy "blocks" sayings he repeated to them as they grew up, both enhanced by the crazy quilt blocks created from men's ties. Hand embroidery and old buttons complete a priceless heirloom.

My Oriental Journey
This quiltmaker did not like Oriental fabrics until she made this quilt, hence the name.

 

A close up of My Oriental Journey. This is a 3D block with Sashiko quilting designs above and below the block. Sashiko is a Japanese stitching technique, which translates literally as "little stabs".
