I have digressed from making quilts designed using MyWebQuilter and instead made several art quilts. We started a local art quilting group that has been a tremendous inspiration to me. So here is a picture of my latest art quilt. My inspiration was old pictures of my mother-in-law and father-in-law out on the town when my father-in-law used to play the saxophone in a big band group. However, I have had several people tell me the silhouette of the woman looks like Michele Obama. The background uses multiple batik fabrics and is based on Ricky Tims ' convergence quilt pattern. The couple is free motion appliqué . The shiny parts are quilting with metallic thread and angelina fibers . This was a very fun quilt to make! Happy quilting, Amber

I have started adding products that I recommend to a shopping page at MyWebQuilter .com. I just added the Perfect Binding Miter tool created by my friend Glenna. This little tool is very simple to use and helps you make a perfect miter on your quilt binding. I had trouble making these miters until Glenna showed me how to use her tool. There is a free video showing how to use this handy little tool as well as a link to purchase it at MyWebQuilter .com . Here is an example of one of my quilts where I used the Perfect Binding Miter tool. This wall hanging is based on Ricky Tims ' Convergence pattern. I used batik fabrics that created a forest fire effect. It was a very fun little quilt to make. Here is a detail photo of the miter at the corner of the binding. Happy Quilting, Amber
