Series Quilts Weekly Quilt Series In 2007, my new year's resolution was to do more art each week. I started a weekly quilt series, where each work is 6 inches square. I truly enjoyed making each one as unique as possible. It was a great way to see all of my work together, and notice my own trends in my work.
2008 Weekly Quilt Series In 2008, I continued the weekly quilt idea, but resolved to work in themes grouped by month. The size of these quilts were all 6" x6". January 2008's theme is "line".
February 2008's theme is "pomegranate"
March 2008's theme is "hip hop words". March had 5 weekends in it, so I made one extra for March.
April 2008's theme is "recycled materials".
May 2008's theme is "Pears"
June 2008's theme was "Quilting designs"
July 2008's theme was "Japanese Dolls"
August's theme was "Robots"
September's theme was "Family Collage".
October's theme is "Monsters"
November's theme was "Leaves"
December's theme was "Gears"
January 2009's theme was "Japanese Culture"
February's theme was "Broken Hearts"- an embroidery project on old cutter quilt pieces.
March's theme is "Historic Ladies Collage"
April's theme was "Recycled Materials"
May's theme was "Shape and Perspective"
June's theme was "Unusual Animals"
July's theme was "Unusual Fruit"
August's theme was "The Art of Fabric Manipulation"
Monthly Journal Quilt Series 2008 I resolved in 2008 to also do a Monthly Journal quilt, in the style of the QuiltArt mailing list's previous years. My size requirement was 8 1/2 x 11 inches. However, my full time job became quite busy mid year, and this project was sidetracked.
Weight Loss Series I started losing weight in January 2002. Since then, I have lost over 80 lbs. I started these little quilts as a way to keep me going, and they really have. Each 10 lbs. I lose is another quilt I make. Along the way I made some others, to represent a shoe size, 5 dress sizes, and two ring sizes. The "W" is part of the series but was given as a gift to my Weight Watchers leader Wendy. The final picture is me and the quilts being hung in a quilt show together.
