A Garden at Dusk

Georgia Baker

Machine pieced and quilted. Traditional pattern done in watercolor style. Will be a present for my granddaughter who loves purple.

Genesis

Suzanne Belz

Batik technique. I was fortunate to be part of a cultural immersion in Bali. The Balinese believe there is not just one word for artist, since they feel everyone’s an artist. I went to the home of the “Batik Master” where I discovered that I am an artist.

French Country

Harriet Bertsche

Machine pieced, machine quilted, hand appliqué, hand ruched flowers. This quilt was designed using the EQ4 computer program. First place ribbon, Duchess Heritage Quilt Show, Poughkeepsie, NY 2001. Second place ribbon, Northern Star Quilters’ Guild World of Quilts, Somers, NY 2001.

Rising Sun 1837

Palmer Blakley

Machine pieced and machine quilted. Inspired by Kaffe Fassett’s “Leafy Snowball” reinterpretation of a snowball quilt in the V&A Museum. But with reproduction fabrics of the 1930s. The bright pastels we used to cheer us up during the Great Depression.

Sunset in the Garden

Jane K. Brown

Hand dyed cotton scrim and silk hankies, wet felted – embellished with needle felting, hand and machine embroidery. This piece is very organic, built from the unpredictable results of hand dying and wet felting. Embellishments were added to enhance and take advantage of the colors and shapes that emerged.

A Place in My Heart

Shelley Brucar

Hand-dyed & painted fabric. Machine stitched. This is the view I want to see from my studio window. Since I live in the Midwest, I put mountains on my design wall.

Endangered Reef

Shelley Brucar

Hand-dyed & painted fabric. Machine stitched. Because of rising temperatures, our seas are in danger. Magnificent coral reefs are getting bleached out; brilliant colors are turning white.
