I made this several (I don't know how many) years ago.Joanne Cagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14482425773691434657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420577344170403472.post-61394184994624026552013-04-10T19:59:00.003-05:002013-04-10T19:59:52.757-05:00List of QuiltsYesterday I was trying to think of all the quilts I have made.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From Start To Finish:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><strong>Tuckahoe Angel</strong></span>, applique, colors on black. Gave it to my mother-in-law Flora Cage; when she went to a retirement home, she gave it back to me. Later I gave it to my friend Jackie; her apartment burned, and the quilt was burned up.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Bear's Paw with Flying Geese </span>border. I still own this quilt.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mountain Echoes</span>.</strong> This quilt was made entirely of isoceles triangles in shades of rose and burgundy. The pattern and quilting made it resemble mountains. I sold it through a quilt shop in Birmingham.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong>Broken Sash</strong></span>. I still have it. This quilt contains over 6,000 pieces.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Appliqued Hearts.</strong></span> This quilt was fun to make. I gave it to my friend Miriam and her granddaughters who lived with her.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: lime;">Tree of Paradise</span>.</strong> This is a Christmas quilt, about 50 inches square, pieced "trees" in red and green on white. I still have it.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Ohio Star</span>.</strong> This is a mini-quilt, still in my collection and one of my favorites. Blue and white.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong>Sailboats</strong>.</span> A pieced child-size quilt in blues and greens on white. It was featured in an Oxmoor House quilt book. I recently gave it to Jackie because the angel quilt I gave her was destroyed in a fire.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan;"><strong>Octagon Tiles.</strong></span> I made this baby quilt and gave it to a fellow-employee in the Social Security office, Birmingham.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><strong>Nursery Print.</strong></span> This quilt was made with blocks of stuffed-animal prints, baby size. I gave it to another fellow-employee.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><strong>Palm Leaf.</strong></span> Made for showing in an Oxmoor House quilt book. The most difficult quilt to piece. I gave it to my friend Miriam's daughter Sharon as a wedding gift.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>Sampler</strong></span>, large wall-hanging. Inspired by Sena Jeter Naslund's book <em>Ahab's Wife</em>. I still have it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Five-Star</strong></span> in shades of blue and white, made as a Christmas gift for my sister Pat.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Autumn Leaves.</strong></span> Red, green, yellow and brown on white (not quite finished). A quilt book showed an antique appliqued quilt with leaves on white. I interpreted the quilt in patchwork.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><strong>Two small wall-hangings with cats</strong></span>, inspired by a Georgia Bonesteel design seen in a quilt book. One featured multicolors, and I gave it to my mother; when she passed away, I took it back. The second cat quilt by the same pattern is in black and orange, a Halloween piece made for my sister Susan.<br />
<br />
A group of miniature, doll-size quilts, various sizes:<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><strong>Sailing Ships</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><strong>Pinwheels</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><strong>Old Maid's Ramble</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><strong>Easter Baskets</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><strong>Two 9-patch dollhouse quilts.</strong></span><br />
<br />
I hand-quilted all of the above except the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>Sampler</strong></span>, which was machine-quilted by Donna's-In-the-Attic as a gift from my sister Susan.<br />
<br />

Each of the nine blocks represents an image or event from the book. The blocks/events are not in chronological order.</div><div>*</div><div></div><div>The Crossed Canoes block (#1): Two months at sea in an open boat, the burning sun by day, the starry sky by night, the blood, the survival.</div><div>*</div><div></div><div>Storm at Sea (#2): Not the traditional Storm at Sea pattern but similar, this block shows the storms of confusion and guilt in the minds of the three major characters, more than the real weather.</div><div>*</div><div></div><div>Schoolhouse Block (#3): This represents the Kentucky cabin where Una's baby was born and died, where Susan hid from the bounty hunters, where Una first encountered David the dwarf.</div><div>*</div><div></div><div>The Snail's Trail pattern (#4): I thought this was an ideal Piscean pattern to portray Giles and Kit, the two men whose first glimpse of Una was of her fighting off an eagle on the balcony of the lighthouse. The white represents Giles, and the red block is the blood that caused him to commit suicide. The blue represents Kit whose life was controlled and directed by his haunting conscience, his obsession with atonement and forgiveness, and his basic psychosis. The dark yellow recalls the vile and childish acts of his mother and of Kit himself. Overall, the block shows the results of the boys' contradictory natures: Giles, the brilliant, scientific objectivist committed suicide because he couldn't live with his guilt. Kit, the religious fanatic, is still alive at the end of the book, insanely searching outside himself for expiation.</div><div>*</div><div></div><div>The central block, the Mariner's Compass (#5) is only a symbol of the sea, and of Ahab, the center of Una's heart.</div><div>*</div><div></div><div>The Milky Way block (#6) is symbolic of Una's stargazing.</div><div>*</div><div></div><div>The Log Cabin block (#7) is the Log Cabin quilt that Una's mother made for her.</div><div>*</div><div></div><div>The Pinwheels (#8) represent the four winds and the four seasons.</div><div>*</div><div></div><div>Block #9 doesn't have a pattern name, as far as I know. Maybe Palm Leaf. I used it to represent Haley's comet, which Una watched with Maria Mitchell.</div><div>*</div><div></div><div>The star borders (Lemoyne Star) illustrate Una's title role as the Stargazer.</div><div></div><div>*</div><div><span style="font-size:85%;">The quilt is to be a wall-hanging, the size is approximately 36 by 48 inches.

I made this quilt in 1983. It has more than 6,000 pieces.Joanne Cagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14482425773691434657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420577344170403472.post-29214879950784322562009-07-18T08:31:00.004-05:002009-07-18T08:35:35.335-05:00Unfinished quilt<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxtD0RCP_VVXXZpIu8jgnPhusgdaRcX4qYpfACTOPY43SIdgGa8R7mPIbM7u9VGCZXk9oLIE3BlGiiSghTwcuI5_L6_I9bjYE8fgvubScy0LjX7F-4XX1X5VcrLo-85cj9PsZtZPpHE7r6/s1600-h/IMG_0851.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359793236038558962" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxtD0RCP_VVXXZpIu8jgnPhusgdaRcX4qYpfACTOPY43SIdgGa8R7mPIbM7u9VGCZXk9oLIE3BlGiiSghTwcuI5_L6_I9bjYE8fgvubScy0LjX7F-4XX1X5VcrLo-85cj9PsZtZPpHE7r6/s200/IMG_0851.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh68yOVvisBiaVHnm22ehWAVgPmhyphenhyphen9fdCiFrETcWuL2uVXIMQ9GSLrGU7oveWeAEiGdUqummfU8ChvHm5En3TEvbkyQ0ekflneNRh2xKPDvQXMh-pcOOvDDGrVMuRiyov7BmhZocJJ5q0d2/s1600-h/IMG_0849.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359792937897360354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh68yOVvisBiaVHnm22ehWAVgPmhyphenhyphen9fdCiFrETcWuL2uVXIMQ9GSLrGU7oveWeAEiGdUqummfU8ChvHm5En3TEvbkyQ0ekflneNRh2xKPDvQXMh-pcOOvDDGrVMuRiyov7BmhZocJJ5q0d2/s320/IMG_0849.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10IGekJluZdJeENsLNcQgWrzfetzm4XuE06cZ4ZFAdmMNVT-FRnX0TYXGRG4wPPMbzgoxUG1AUGoDrHIIMrIGk2oj3Be8JrTasgOw6W8F8kY7zz0XshYMeIYhCO0Bu3I41VGzimSIBBCy/s1600-h/IMG_0849.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div><br /><p> </p><p> </p><p>I hope to finish this project in August (2009).</p>Joanne Cagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14482425773691434657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420577344170403472.post-5225269808137011932009-07-06T14:59:00.006-05:002009-07-06T15:07:35.510-05:00Charming Girls' Quilt Club<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC8be90Ik0Y0oyJJVwMfaqF_GPRBankbFSKEWZyVX3qO6BwaTPgpLJGgzr_3QPLg_CnSjX8DJdlB3RhJW9iw_aTmivz_bSOtxvKUDz-ab-bz29o9vn-Ce_UYHMQ0IqWPOKCkStmXmZwa51/s1600-h/IMG_0832.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355441260603335362" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC8be90Ik0Y0oyJJVwMfaqF_GPRBankbFSKEWZyVX3qO6BwaTPgpLJGgzr_3QPLg_CnSjX8DJdlB3RhJW9iw_aTmivz_bSOtxvKUDz-ab-bz29o9vn-Ce_UYHMQ0IqWPOKCkStmXmZwa51/s320/IMG_0832.JPG" border="0" /></a> There's a link to this and explanation of the project on my Sourwood Mountain blog, and copied below. Here's what I've done so far on the Una quilt (above).<br /><br /><br /><div>The second project I joined through Susan's blog is at Kelly's Charming Girls' Quilt Club. Kelly challenges members to post an unfinished sewing project, and finish it before the end of the month. The rules include prizes for finished projects, but I think the chief reward is getting some of my dozens of unfinished pieces done. My project for July is to finish the top for my Una quilt wall-hanging. So far, all I've got done is the central block and a pile of discarded attempts at more blocks and borders. Plus cutting out all the diamonds for the star border.</div>Joanne Cagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14482425773691434657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420577344170403472.post-56437249686185836492009-06-29T21:36:00.002-05:002009-06-29T21:39:23.406-05:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXJn0gsXrOs2tYoEvwtsZg3iG1l-FLeSWKU_O1exwnuop8upadeZegB9aYAT2hTx1MMmUZUvUuZgKYSIqmNJLl_GyjueQRsLT0NyssIGt5Ujyr72nQIvaKgaT42RA-8Pt0uFG0EvRxiCuV/s1600-h/IMG_0824.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352944572333628306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXJn0gsXrOs2tYoEvwtsZg3iG1l-FLeSWKU_O1exwnuop8upadeZegB9aYAT2hTx1MMmUZUvUuZgKYSIqmNJLl_GyjueQRsLT0NyssIGt5Ujyr72nQIvaKgaT42RA-8Pt0uFG0EvRxiCuV/s400/IMG_0824.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><div>This is the finished central block.

I regret to say that I copied the design from one in a magazine. The lady who made it called it "Tuckahoe Angel," and I was too ignorant to know that I shouldn't use her design without permission. </div><br />The friend that I gave it to brought it by this morning for me to photograph. I'm so pleased that she has preserved it in new condition. She said that she has washed it more than once, but it's still just perfect. It doesn't have a hanging sleeve on the back, so I had to spread it on the living room carpet and couldn't get far enough away to get a good photo. The border is very wide, black and pale yellow stripes, supposed to represent light rays.<br /><div></div></div>Joanne Cagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14482425773691434657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420577344170403472.post-71514257174442165382009-06-02T14:32:00.052-05:002009-11-29T16:08:13.678-06:00Small Quilts<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmaNg_cE48TXxHpVAmmRZggU-pOKpo4gb1yZJM9uUmaBqeKfvt9b339YkDasBHwboUJwpc26EOb9FbdUh3w14iOphrNDxbZkt0yxXef50zhfRJ1JYNPP7YBl2AUl0-EqSJ3l3lx7rbfoFF/s1600-h/IMG_0498.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342816386375691346" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 316px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmaNg_cE48TXxHpVAmmRZggU-pOKpo4gb1yZJM9uUmaBqeKfvt9b339YkDasBHwboUJwpc26EOb9FbdUh3w14iOphrNDxbZkt0yxXef50zhfRJ1JYNPP7YBl2AUl0-EqSJ3l3lx7rbfoFF/s320/IMG_0498.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLyU3DaXsllo2tUdOwdk2yrpiEype3gBdxmjfdsH_ReEJocYtr8dCOU6M15ESN4Al2aRzYUH0R0QjJPzGshRpIInxswYRiXeCOeNQKYoNM_e9IebGeSwehLrqFl47-zqX64y3uZslXoLyC/s1600-h/IMG_0378.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342815993600652546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 283px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLyU3DaXsllo2tUdOwdk2yrpiEype3gBdxmjfdsH_ReEJocYtr8dCOU6M15ESN4Al2aRzYUH0R0QjJPzGshRpIInxswYRiXeCOeNQKYoNM_e9IebGeSwehLrqFl47-zqX64y3uZslXoLyC/s320/IMG_0378.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ZvEw9dUtwgr5LD5YJreKb237smLdos-gBoP6e4SGaDp6hFYZ1qoqSDy8E54rL2K5zPzHA62BbFB5QwxQ464AUhIFTv86DM8eqGN89bS4A6Ukph0IRNq9GY3R4UTay023eZXU3gi1QwwA/s1600-h/IMG_0498.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL1NLZxg4nKQpTDo3jvdjbk8PPXsQxwqmpNF-Xn_QQxW444CjCJXzaPPP5iW62Xrd9FyX621zIbut4ODbtHfceXSsMV3q2dhMC4RvT6SGpE-v61F0OJHeX8yXXyJbajOx6kRWWbRFyN_7n/s1600-h/IMG_0378.JPG"></a>The two small quilts shown above are wall-hangings that I made last fall as gifts for my two sisters. The cat quilt is 32" square, the star 48" square.<br /><br />Since I started quilting in 1979, I have made nearly a hundred quilts. I've sold or given away most of them, and have no photos of them. The quilts shown on this blog are ones that I own, or that I had enough foresight to photograph before letting them go.<br /><br />I love miniature things--almost anything in miniature fascinates me. Shown below are some of the doll-size quilts I've made.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTp59hO4NeC5V38D29Ax-uUGRpZBlZZd3JeCHF30xSOZt3QN9ZoaAFSoEQbDnr9Pb-8moG5WqUP5ehnajGHhz6aiTk91xR-ekctCpR829FYLTol9b7EITxs1UpJBhj93sUv2HEpHYrCSH5/s1600-h/IMG_0137.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342819568608365842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 302px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTp59hO4NeC5V38D29Ax-uUGRpZBlZZd3JeCHF30xSOZt3QN9ZoaAFSoEQbDnr9Pb-8moG5WqUP5ehnajGHhz6aiTk91xR-ekctCpR829FYLTol9b7EITxs1UpJBhj93sUv2HEpHYrCSH5/s320/IMG_0137.JPG" border="0" /></a> At left is the first "doll quilt" I made, with a sort of free-hand attitude.
