Ombre
Feather Merge
13"x10"




I really wanted to use my hand dyed fabric as I have so much (addicting!).. And I didn't want to cover it with applique ect instead stitched a feather (out of practice!!) and various quilting stitches for the fun of it.. and have full view of the merging colours.. This was alot of fun!! 

Ombre Bag by Caroline

Traveling week to a sewist friend’s domicile. She’s a bag maker so guess what? We made a bag!!!!

We used the modified version of the H2O bag by “Linds Handmade design”…. Too much fun too little pictures taken … I created a Fabric with her scraps and then used that “ombré fabric” to cut out the water bottle bag. Fun them of course we spotted ombré everywhere all week!


One must also match her travel book to her travel H2O bag and bottle!! So actually that just happened… I grabbed one scrap box and it was these tones.

Ombre by Deb A

My next submission to the Project Quilting Challenge--this is a combination of piecing and applique that is machine quilted. My background is in graphic art which translated well into this submission. Blue is my favorite color!

Ombre by Linda M

This is my little quilt.

 I used batiks for the heart and binding, and a cotton ombre as the background. 

I stamped the background with a large ‘love’ stamp using gold ink.

Ombre by Maren R

 Another fantastic challenge.

I made my Ombre felt and then i got carried away a little bit. 

I was using the colours from the mythical creatures and i think there was still a creature in the wool who wanted to come out.

I cheated and stitched only through 2 layers because couldn't fiddle batting inside and no more wool left for another project.

Ombre by Robyn W

I've been collecting photos on Facebook, putting them into albums I might use for inspiration. PQ16.2 "Ombre" gave me the opportunity to use this simple picture of a snowflake. While I'm not totally thrilled with the outcome, it was a good lesson and gave me the chance to practice thread painting and work on improving attaching my binding on the back. I've often struggled with that but recently I learned using a stitch-in-the -ditch foot is the key to a more-finished binding. This one is perhaps the best I've ever done!


This piece finished out at 9" x 11" and is pieced with appliqued limbs that were thread painted; the snowflake is thread painted and the entire block has been quilted in a small loopy fashion using Madeira Rayon thread.



I was delighted to find a backing in my stash of fat quarters that worked so well with the work!


Thanks, Kim and Trisha for another great Challenge!

Ombre by Beverly H

I wasn’t sure how to do “ombré”. I spend a good bit of time with mountain and river cleanup. That’s the mood outside.

ombre geese by Eva K

 My ombré flying geese. Love making them but technique could always be better. I like how the black background “pops”




The colors but never a great idea with two cats. The cat hair also “pops”.

Ombre Layers of Life by Nancy H

Ombré Layers of Life
PQ 16.2 Ombré

This week’s theme is Ombré. I chose to create my ombré fabric. I added small creatures and the sun of course!


My quilt is 7”x5”. #ProjectQuilting #pqSeason16

This was created for an online challenge called Project Quilting. You get a week to complete a whole quilt based on a theme. Prizes will be given out by random drawing. Each week is a different theme. Here is a link to this season 16: https://kimlapacek.com/project-quilting-season-16


I decided to make all 6 PQ challenges 7”x5” this year so I’ll have a set of postcards when I’m done. For the label, I’m writing on the back with a fabric marker.

NYE Sydney by Jennifer J

My interpretation of a photo looking at Sydney in the distance on NYE.


Like many others doing this challenge, I used the only ombre fabric I have..so it does look a bit abstract!

Did some light Sashiko quilting and embellished quilting.
Meryl did have an accident in her youth, hence her unique fin tail. 
Merci beaucoup,

Lenape legend of the Rainbow Crow

 I’m in Burnsville, NC where Hurricane Helene wreaked amazing havoc.  I had thought I’d try creating a Phoenix rising from the waters but then read about Manaka’has, the Rainbow Crow of Lenape legend.  He brought fire to the earth from the Great Spirit but in doing so lost his beautiful voice and plumage.  

Finished the binding at midnight…not perfect, but done!

Mythical Creature by Deb A

My first submission to the Project Quilting Challenge--this unicorn is a combination of piecing, applique, and hand embroidery, and is quilted and faced, approximately 12 inches square. I learned recently that in some cultures the unicorn is a symbol of wisdom, integrity, and strong spirit. 


In addition, the extremely durable horn represents immortality. I'm approaching involvement in this challenge as a learning experience, stretching my creativity and strengthening my skills under just a touch of pressure, with only a week to complete each challenge. Looking forward to it!
