Artist Statement

This quilt was started at the Canadian Male Quilt Retreat in Arnprior, Ontario. The quilt uses the Jaybird Quilts pattern “Gravity” and their hexagon and 60o rulers. The kit was purchased from Fat Quarter Shop. The inspiration to do this project came from seeing Debbie Bykowski’s version, which hung at Fight Song II, a charity event for AIDS LifeCycle.

Defying Gravity is a gift for my husband, Lloyd for Christmas 2019.

Artist Statement

In August 2018, Mama and I spent several hours together sorting through her fabric stash, quilting supplies and patterns. Despite being very tired, Mama had a plan for me. In the quiet of our time together she asked a very special request. She asked if I would consider making quilts for her grandchildren using her stash. Mama’s request came with great love and pride. She knew she was sick and knew she would never be able to make quilts for her precious grandbabies. I promised her that day, that each of the grandchildren would receive quilts “from her” and that they would be constructed with as much love as she would put into them herself.

We spent time choosing patterns and fabrics. As we did this, she shared stories and her favorite memories of you. We laughed and we cried!

This quilt is a modern pattern that Nan thought you would like. It has a simple design with improvisation blocks using a blue and grey jellyroll from her stash. I designed one block and got her approval to continue. The finished quilt has two layers of Hobb’s 80/20 white batting.

“Peter, my darling, this quilt is made especially for you. Whenever you see it, don’t be sad because I am no longer here, but use it as a reminder that I will keep you warm, dry your tears and cover you with love for the rest of your days. I love you so much”! Love, Nanny

Artist Statement

This quilt is an original design using two 10” layer cakes. I cut all the fabric 6 ½” by 3 ½” leaving the cut fabrics in the same order, face up. I then flipped the 3 ½” side face down and sewed all the pieced together. Once sew together, I then rotated the new pieces 45 degrees and cut each block directly in half keeping both halves right sides up. Again, I flipped one half over and sewed the pieced together. The pattern is called Double Slice of Cake!

This is an easy “complete in a day” quilt. The fabric is Farmhouse Flannels by Primitive Gatherings for Moda Fabrics. The title for the project comes from the Michele Holland’s song recorded by Teena Marie with the same title.
