The Great 2010 Art Quilt Placemat Challenge

So now that Keet and Julie have received their lovely gifts, I am posting the collection of photos about making my offerings, plus shots of the ones Mom made. (With apologies for the totally crappy quality of the photos.)

Mom made this for Julie's theme of "fireflies":

Where'd you get the theme ideas? :)

[zephre]

the recipient suggested themes. :)

*goes to look and ooh and aah* Those are awesome. Machine or hand-stitched?

[zephre]

a bit of both - Mom does hand applique and embroidery, I hand-finished the edges on mine, but mostly the quilting is machine.

Japanese water garden so cool! I love the way the water's sort of taking over the square part and also the crazy giant fish tails.

I really like the sunshine one too.

thank you! :)
Mom will be pleased, as well.
