Mine was used with permission by the artist, Synthia St. James. It was on a graduation card I received when I earned my masters degree in social work. I made it into a quilt for tha Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. It earned $79 and some change. The earrings on the dancing ladies are 3D, made from jewelry jump chains. It's one of my favorites.

Mine is just a simple fusible applique which I made for a charity auction.

Mine is Missouri Puzzle that is set a bit different than the original pattern. It was hand pieced and hand quilted by my Grandmother (Grannie - Maude Woffard) and I think maybe her Mother (Sue Parsons). It was created in the 1930-40's. The pattern dates back to the mid 1800's and they probably got the pattern out of the Kansas City Star or Workbasket magazine or Harpers Weekly. It is one of just a few of our quilts that is all done is one color scheme. Most are scrappy quilts.

My Avatar is my Cat Misty and she is my quilting buddy. She is either on my lap or sitting on what I am making, she thinks she needs to hold my fabric from sliding off the table. She is a strange fun kitty that thinks she is a human and sometimes she will take of with my scraps! It's funny because she is more like a dog running off with a bone. She keeps her little fabric stash under my bed and she sleeps on it during the day.

Wow, I love your design. When I was just starting quilting I thought log cabins would get boring. Now I know better.

This was a scrap quilt I used all my favorite colors chocolate brown with pinks reds blues etc. I finished it in 2 days because of the momentum I had with it. It is 90x100 right now.

My avatar quilt is called "Log cabin Star". I made it from a jelly roll. I added to overall length of the quilt by adding a scrappy border on the bottom and top of scraps from the same quilt.

Mine is a quilt I made for my oldest son when he became an American citizen. His wife shows it to everyone who comes to visit. Not fancy but it means a lot to our family.

Very pretty quilt love it. But I am fairly new here and would love to know what an AVATAR means.
Thanks for your help.

This is a wallhanging in Hawaiian Applique called "You Are In Our Hearts." It is needle-turn applique and is all done by hand (except for attaching the binding).
