This quilt was designed from the inspiration of a Shopping mall arched roof that a friend had posted on her Facebook. I could not resist to turn it into a quilt.. I love to challenge my designs skills and eventually this will be a challenge to sew together. Oh Boy… how I love Y seams. Actually they are not that difficult once one understands how to do them. Later I will show you a quilt that is all Y seams that I have being tested at the moment.
If one looks around with open mind we can see quilt designs in everything from Nature to architecture.
This is the portrait that I took the inspiration from… It is the domed ceilling of the “Haleria Kaufhof” demartment store, Alexanderplatz, district of Mitta, Berlin. here is a link to more photos or this lovely Ceiling. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/GaleriaKaufhof.
I'm a mother of 3, I live by Mayerthope, Alberta Canada. In my spare time I have 2 loves: Quilting and my horses these work well with the seasons. I have been sewing for as long as I can remember. As a little girl I was making Barbie clothes. In Junior High I was making my own clothes. I started quilting when my oldest daughter was born 20+ years ago. I was making western shirts, when I quilt making those I had lots of bright cotton so I started making quilts. Over the last 13 years I have really gotten into it. I started taking an applique and a free motion class at my LQS. I'm now at the point where I no longer purchase Patterns. I've actually started designing my own. I do all my own quilting on my PFAFF Expresion. In 2015 I invested in EQ7 Quilt design program.
