Pirouette

The quilt is made up of improvisational twists and turns in bright turquoise and lime green. It’s supporting form gives it dimension and anchors it slightly away from the wall. The edges look like the fluttering skirt of a dancer. Yes! Let’s dance! Approximate size: 25 inches in diameter.

Transformation

Sometimes quilts don’t follow the expected path, not unlike life itself. This one is a perfect example. The original linear curves suddenly called out for circles. The dimensional form took on a multi-level terrain. But the path that started with dark quilted leather embellished with polished wooden “stepping stones” looked dreary and boring. To the rescue: a pop of yellow linen to enhance the leopard wood stones…which became unique wooden buttons. Change is good! Size: 20 inches by 27 inches.

Be My Valentine

The piece has a modern vibe in black and white fabric and a few pops of red. It’s finished in black-stained oak which can be hung vertically or horizontally. Size: 15 inches by 20 inches.

Quiet Calm

2020 was a tumultuous year for our nation and all of us came out of it with a need for moments of calm. Although there were many bumps and hills to climb this year (depicted by Timber’s support structure) the quiet earth tones and soothing horizontal lines speak to a need for inner calm. Look closely to find the intermittent occurrence of beading. Namaste! 21 inches by 16 inches.

Dancing Forest

Do trees dance in the light of a full moon? They do in this piece, constructed using raw-edge applique. The trees range in color from brown to blue to fuchsia. Timber used his support magic to add movement and Thread accented the quilt with silver metallic stitching to give it a feeling of fantasy. Size: 17 ½ inches high, 22 inches wide.

Cylindrical Quilt

Thread was experimenting with some raw edge applique in a variety of black and white fabrics. Timber formed it into a cylinder and added a cherry wood bottom. Shown here, it makes a great container for fresh-cut or dried flowers. Dimensions: 5 inches in diameter, 14 inches high. For purchase information, contact us via the form at the bottom of this page.

Map in the Attic

Thread was drawn to the map print fabric and discovered that when pieced into blocks, it reflected the chaotic current world. The leather accents were added and Timber decided to build a support system that gave it a bumpy surface. Suddenly it looked like an old map newly discovered in the attic. Years from now it may remind us of 2020! Approximate dimensions: 13 inches by 28 inches overall. For purchase information, contact us via the form at the bottom of this page.

MMXX Uicibusque recedit (2020 Sundial)

2020 has been a topsy-turvy year for many of us. What day is it? What time is it? Losing much of our normal frame of reference, we were never sure! So we set out to make a sundial that is as chaotic as this year has become.
Approximate diameter is 10 inches, so it would look great on an end table or coffee table. For purchase information, contact us via the form at the bottom of this page.

Pallet of (non) Color

Black and white: always fun to quilt with, always pleasing to look at, especially with a pop of red! Timber constructed a pallet look-alike using a torch to accentuate the wood grain. It sends out a casual, rustic vibe. Approximate size is 31 inches x 31 inches. For purchase information, contact us via the form at the bottom of this page.

Back to the Garden

Linen was tie-dyed by Thread for use as table runners at a party in conjunction with Big Top Chautauqua’s Woodstock Revival in 2019. Not wanting to waste great fabric, she incorporated it into a piece combined with gray and white background fabric that is densely machine quilted. Timber elevated the tie-dye areas and added a gentle curve on the upper corner. Groovy! Size: 24” x 24”. For purchase information, contact us via the form at the bottom of this page.

Turning the Corner

Definitely turning the corner from traditional quilting, this multi-angled piece is done in shades of blue denim and shibori fabrics. It rises from a wood base and then dips slightly in the middle for more dimensional interest. Size: 32” (approximate diameter). For purchase information, contact us via the form at the bottom of this page.

Plaid Moon Rising

Thread pieced this background in violet, red, orange and yellow with touches of blue to resemble plaid. Timber put a curve in the mounting so the moon, which is hand-quilted plaid, would rise toward the sky (or at least the ceiling). Size: 28 “ x 23”.
