A work in progress string quilt. I'm also using a temporary design wall which is nothing more than a 99 cent store table cloth taped to the wall with duck tape. It's working beautifully! It took two rows of duck tape, including the sides, to make it stay.

This blanket is made entirely of scraps using a knit stitch throughout. I'm holding two strands together when switching to a new yarn in order to avoid weaving in all the ends.
These photos are from the American Museum of Folk Art in New York City, a delightful, pint-sized museum next door to the Museum of Modern Art. This Amish quilt was made in Lancaster, PA using a traditional pattern. There are some great quilts displayed on their website that were not on display at the museum. http://www.folkartmuseum.org/The picture below is a photo I snapped of a JCrew window display. Prior to being aware of Amish quilts in the style above (although, probably subliminally aware of them), I thought that this would make a great modern quilt design.
These are a few quilts I saw at the American Folk Art Museum in New York, a charming and very tiny museum next door to the MOMA. The plaque next to the first quilt said that the makers name was so prominent in the quilt, because there were few ways for women to get recognition at the time. Also, labels were necessary for practical reasons as textiles were expensive. http://www.folkartmuseum.org/
This cowl was made without a pattern. I just cast on 16" size 10.5 circular needs until full and used knit stitch throughout. It became looser/larger and I was able to wrap it around twice, which I prefer. The yarn is LB Collection Silk Mohair in Sunbeam, available here: http://cache.lionbrand.com/
Cabled scarf made from free pattern from Lion Brand (avail for free on their website) using their Alpine Wool.
This quilt started off with a few fat quarters and a desire to play with color. I just kept collecting shades of purples, blues & pinks to merge with one another. It's machine quilted with two different shades of variating thread.
I love making these little sweaters. I'm currently working on my fourth. The pattern is from Greetings from Knitcafe. I used a Lion Brand Yarn (LB Collection Cotton Bamboo), which made it a particularily enjoyable knit.

Scarf made using the Berlin scarf, pattern avail at http://www.purlbee.com/. Made with Alchemy Migration yarn in Hummingbird colorway. 
Little hat, knitted as a gift from the book Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Holverson (of Purl). Available at http://www.purlsoho.com/.
This is a little baby quilt, a commission as part of a crib set. It was fun to make and came together very easily & quickly. I machine quilted around each row of coins, which was also simple and fun.
This gorgeous, authentic Chinese garden is located in Portland, OR. It was created as part of a "garden exchange program". Read more here, http://www.portlandchinesegarden.org/
These little brown mittens were a request from a friend who wanted brown mittens suitable for snowball fights.
This lovely little pillow belongs to a friend of mine. I was so taken by it that I had to share. I'm inspired by the rainbow of sophisticated colors and the time that must have been spent making it. I believe I've seen this technique (tiny protruding triangles) used as edging in quilts before, but do not know the term for it. Anyone? Thanks you for the response, these are praire points!
This is a string quilt made entirely from scraps and string tied. It was incredibly fun to make as the process was a free form one.
Here is a little pincushion I made, my first attempt at Cathedral Window quilting. It is a time consuming process, but worth the effort for smaller projects. I have aspirations to make a white silk pillow with purple, blue & white hand dyed, almost a tie dye style, fabric "windows".
I used the book Cathedral Window Quilts: The Classic Folded Technique and a Wealth of Variations. It's well written and easy to follow. The difficulty comes from the complexity of the process, but the author has done a great job simplifying it and including step-by-step illustrations. The author is a true artist and has explored, and I believe, invented a number of variations on this technique, so there are several other great quilt patterns included. The book is available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Cathedral-Window-Quilts-Technique-Variations/dp/0715327135/ref=pd_sim_b_1
I'm afraid that this is the only rather bad photo that I have of this quilt. The dark portions turned out a bit too dark so the patterned details aren't showing up. This was a commissioned quilt, using quite a few Japanese fabrics.
Here is yet another set of fabric cards. I love making them as it's such a freeing creative process, the small little cards are a non-imposing palette. I would like to someday use this method to make an entire quilt, foundation piece each square as it's own little entity and then join them together with sashings.
Here is a wool quilt I made for a friend of mine, based on her design and fabric choices. It's made from felted wool, purchased from City Quilter in NYC. I actually used a linen fabric for the backing and was worried about working with it, but it worked out fine. I also used a walking foot when piecing the quilt as the wool was quite thick, particularily the plaid squares.
I have made so many of these, but neglected to photograph them. They are easily made from scraps of Koigu yarn (which I love to use for making the baby blanket from Stitch & Bitch, photos to come). The pattern is available from Purl Soho here: http://www.purlbee.com/toadstool-babyrattle/.
Here's a little tote bag I made for a little girl using a pattern from the book SEW: sew everything workshop by Diana Rupp. It was an easy pattern to follow, next time I would attach the handles on the inside for a neater look. The fabric is from the "Drawing Room" series by Anna Maria Horner.
A little baby bib, made using pattern from Etsy (http://www.jcasa.etsy.com/). The pattern was quite simple, and I loved that it included some quilting and soft batting. I was a little confused on attaching the binding, but made it work.
