I am a member of the Rapid River Quilt Guild. Every year we make a raffle quilt with the proceeds going to local Delta county Michigan charities. In past years we have given to the Salvation Army , St. Vincent De Paul , Alliance Against Violence & Abuse , as well as several local schools to support children's need for clothes.

The drawing will be in October 2010. Amber

I blogged about my Hoffman Challenge quilt back in July. I just found out that it was selected to travel with the 2010 Hoffman Challenge quilts! I am thrilled! I have placed in a few local quilt contests but this is the first international quilt challenge that I have entered. My Hoffman Challenge quilt is called Ariel. The sailboat applique was created from a picture of my friend's boat with the same name. The picture was taken in September 2009 during a sailboat cruise. This cruise was very productive for generating quilt ideas! In addition to the Hoffman Challenge quilt I made the one below. It is called "Deann and Amber's Most Excellent Sailing Adventure 2009". I made this quilt for my friend Deann who sailed with me. This quilt is based on a nautical chart of northern Green Bay, Lake Michigan. It shows the route of our sailing cruise from Escanaba , MI to Fayette State Park on the Garden Peninsula , then on to Jackson Harbor on Washington Island, WI, then back hom

I recently took a class on making quilts of faces so I attempted to make a postcard of Glenna's face for the contest. I didn't want to use "normal" colors. Glenna loves batiks so I wanted to make her face in crazy batiks. My first two attempts went in the trash can.... In the first one, I made very bad fabric choices. Glenna's face looked green...like she was going to be sea sick...very bad. In the second one, the features of her face seemed lopsided. I had tried to place the nose, mouth, etc. just by looking at the picture. In my third attempt, I actually traced her facial features on clear vinyl and used it as an overlay to fuse the pieces in the correct location. So here is my third postcard...and
