Meet Kathleen Awalt from Baltimore

Kathleen quietly worked away down at the opposite end of the room from me, but after seeing her opening show and tell pieces and knew I wanted to share them with you.  Kathleen graciously
took out all her beautiful quilting work and let me photography them for my blog along with all the work she got done while we were at the retreat.  Get a cup of tea you are in for a treat.  Thanks Kathleen :0) and Happy Sewing, Kim

One of Kathleen's studies in the "37 Sketches" style  of studying "liberated quiltmaking"

Another study with a grid hand quilted through the abstract piecing.

A study in pinks with linear quilting .

Isn't this one fun?

Kathleen also like windows and all their variety, she pieced many of these before deciding to piece them together. The colors and movement made this such a fun quilt to look at.

This lovely square red silk piece will be covered by the silk "doors" on either side of the work and will have to be opened to enjoy the little masterpiece inside.  How divine!  Thanks Kathleen.
