G 76 - Betty Tyree - QOV - Giant Square Dance

This is one of my favorites. My quilting bee the "Sassy Stitchers" got together and made soldier quilts for veterans and service members in our community. I pulled out my box of 2 1/2 strips and away we sewed. I quilted this large lap quilt with the Square Dance template. The young man was wounded in Iraq and is now attending college in Northern Va.

G 75 - Betty Tyree Large Crosshatch and Push Button Stylus

I used the large crosshatch for diagonal lines in this "Disappearing nine patch " quilt made by Joyce Noell. I use the push button stylus and zip along the quilt mixing with freemotion while standing at the front of the machine. I love the difference in textures . This is a large lap quilt.

B 74 - Betty Tyree Giant Square Dance, Rope, 18" Crosshatch

I used "spots" of the giant templates though out the quilt. I used the rope in various sections of border. I love using the 18" crosshatch templates diagonal lines for borders, sashing and background fill using various lengths and direction. I think it gives a great texture relief along with the freehand. I also discovered using the square dance for the border is fast and funky. I filled the gaps with freehand hearts.This quilt is called "One day in the country is worth a month in town" , by Inigo Junction . This is a folk-art quilt of the month designed by Sarah Sporrer, and was made my sister in- law Natalie Norris of Roanoke, Va.

G 67 - Helen Hubert - Zig Zag & Wave Quilt

Pieced and quilted by Helen Hubert. Pattern unknown, adapted from a photograph.

Size 65 x 82 Templates used: Zig Zag & Waves

This was a guild challenge called "The Dirty Dozen". One of the fabrics had a lovely hourglass design on it which was the inspiration for using the giant wave template. I offset the wave template by 2 clicks of the rachet on my rollers to get the correct spacing between the designs. After the waves were done, I went back and added a starry design in the center of the hourglass. The border crosshatching was completed with the zig-zag portion of the template.

G 65 - Betty Tyree - Square Dance Template
