Breezy Oriental Pond Hoffman Challenge 2008 Original Design by Denise Mayer Group Denise and neices Abby and Alex
Our label info
Denise created the design using her backyard as a pattern. The girls are 16 and 13 and added elements as the quilt progressed, an uncle's/brother's Japanese Kimono inspired the back of the quilt.
This is the first attempt at a lanscape quilt and machine quilting. Sewing and quilting was done by Denise, Abby did fusing while Alex did fussy cutting, We loved the peacock fabric.
A challenge is using a specific fabric to make a quilt. Different challenges have different rules.

The gloves are cure for cancer garden gloves and I could really tell if I was not wearing them the fabric did not move very well for quilting. We had a surprise birthday celebration for dkbeck, if you notice the cake it has a quilted look. She also got 2 storage containers for her quilt room.Alex is the girl on the right. I have to find Abby's picture. The other girl in the picture is their older sister.
peacock didn't show up without an outline

I loved the way the quilting showed up on the blue kimono.
