In the Clear Twighlight

Virginia Cruz Carlson

Mixed Media: hand painted on canvas and hand thread painted; hand quilted “Twighlight” has so many cool values. Created in paint and thread was the best way I found to interpret the feelings. An oxymoron, twilight may not be clear, but the feelings it evokes are—hence the original spelling.

Too Sexy for My Coa

Virginia Cruz Carlson

Mixed Media; mono-printing on batting and thread painted. Hand quilted This goat’s picture was taken at the Racine Zoo in Wisconsin by the artist. He strutting his stuff.

Bite Me

Virginia Cruz Carlson

Mixed Media: fiber, yarn, copper beads, paint, rubber snake; machine appliquéd and quilted and hand beaded Sometimes the only way to deal with stress is with humor.

Julia & David’s Wedding Quilt

Butterflies in My Garden

Teal Lagoon

Nancy Cordero

Wet-felted shawl/wall-hanging of bronze iridescent silk and teal merino wool fibers Designs in hand painted wool yarns and dyed silk cocoons. Colors of teal, greens, and bronze The back of this piece is just as interesting as the front—wonderful texture and the color of the fiber migrating through the silk gives a two-toned effect.

Cat Nap, Cat Snack

Valerie Curtis

Hand pieced and hand-quilted : I’ve been working on this tiny quilt for about five years. During this time my family has hotly debated whether the cat tied the mice to the tree or the hanging rodents are possums.

Watson in the Jungle

Valerie Curtis

Machine pieced and free motion quilted This quilt is a reminder of my time spent in Ghana with my close friend Allison. I hope she enjoys this quilt as much as I enjoyed visiting her in Cape Coast.
