Featured Quilt: The Quilt Show Guest Artists Sampler

Click on the quilt for a full view. The Quilt Show Guest Artists Sampler
For many years, guests who appeared on The Quilt Show (www.thequiltshow.com) brought Alex Anderson and myself a 6” quilt block. After several years I had enough to put this together. It might be a challenge to name who made the blocks, but if you browse them, and if you have been in the quilting pool hall for a awhile, you might be able to at least make a few guesses. Apologies that I don’t have the roster to provide.
This seemed like a fun quilt to highlight because I am in Dallas taping new episodes of The Quilt Show and once we are done we will have taped over 400 shows since we started in 2007.

Critique Group Challenge: Week 11, The Power of the One Photo by Allison Haggarty Click to view larger image Allison says: We had a first day of warm spring weather last week so I took a long walk to explore a neighbourhood near downtown Montreal. This is an old factory near the canal which was converted to individual workspaces. The window in the middle had some sort of reflective coating and even though this side of the building was in shade it was very bright. There are lots of deatils to be seen in other windows but this one remains a mystery.

Featured Quilt: Surface Gold

20” x 20"
This fun little improvisational quilt features cording which is sewn on using the Bernina free-motion couching foot. It’s like a miracle. I love the process of creating fabric without a plan and one of my favorite designs is Diamond in a Square - very traditional. Still, by using the hand-dyed fabrics and letting the cuts go wonky, there is a more fluid and organic (whimsical) impact. This one got the name from that golden cording…Surface Gold…you don’t have to dig deep to enjoy the visual reward. This one is a fun puzzle.

Critique Group Challenge: Week 10, Wrinkles Photo by Ricky Tims Click to view larger image. Ricky says: I took crumbled/wrinkled white tissue paper and placed it under a red lamp that sits on a wooden chest. I did a double exposure in-camera - both panned left and right. I had other images that were more smooth, but this still shows some wrinkles (which I like). I've done these double exposure panned "landscapes" before, but this was a first on a somewhat small scale. I like how the wood gives a sense of a flat field and the gentle mountain peaks under the fiery sky.
