It’s a Beautiful Day

Melanie Anderson

Machine pieced and quilted I was lucky enough to get a silkscreen of Obama’s head so I could participate in the inaugural challenge. What an exciting time!

Carolina’s Fish

Melanie Anderson

Machine pieced and quilted My daughter who normally ignores my quilt projects said repeatedly how much she liked this fish quilt—it became her going-away-to-college present.

Harebells

Sue Babbs

Hand made bobbin lace. This necklace is worked in linen threads, in moorland colours, with coordinating glass beads.

Evening on Swan Lake

Sue Babbs

Bobbin lace (hand made) and needle-felted. The swan photographs were taken at the Chicago Botanic Garden one summer evening.

Tuscan Starry Nights

Ronald Bedard

Machine pieced, machine quilted by Sally Evanshank I set the original design on point, used all star blocks rather than alternating stars and plain blocks, selected a scrappier background, and added the sashing. The result is a quilt that reminds me of Tuscany at night.
