Butterflies in My Garden

Debbie Cimaglio

Trapunto and machine quilting. Seed pearls added as flower centers This quilt was a challenge quilt for NLCQG and qualified for the AQS show in Nashville in August 2008. This whole cloth quilt gets its color from a layer of neon green felt placed under the white batiste fabric.

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.
