This is a velvet and satin Contemporary design Quilt in rich jewel-tone colour blocks outlined with trims and accented with appliques.
Below is a "Family Quilt", measuring approx. 8 X 10 feet, featuring the milestones and hobbies of this family's history: from Mom's wedding gown and Dad's baby shoes, to the boys' baby shoes and images of their homes. Some of the boys' favourite pastimes were playing hockey, riding bicycles and snowboards, fishing and piano, all illustrated here. Dad's old motorcycle and bike pants are also included, as are Mom's medals from Chorus Championships. Most of the fabric used comes from remnants that were saved from projects made over the years.All these details were made from photographs supplied by the owners.
(Featured on CJOH's "Regional Contact" in 2005.)
The queen size duvet cover, above,
and it's matching cushion, below it left,
were derived from a Hawaiian pattern of the sacred Green Sea Turtle (or Honu) design. The central medallion applique of the Honu and the wave with intricate "splash" embroidery in holographic thread, are sewn to a fern pattern batik and then backed by sea green taffeta, which appropriately suggests water with it's "water-mark or moire" weave and satiny texture.

Each face of the quilted cushion is different.
