Morning Glory Vines

Julie Johnson

Machine pieced and hand appliqued (by Julie). Machine quilted by Mary Dorschner, New London, WI. I have always loved Kaffe Fassett’s colors and fabric, and I wanted to create a quilt that focused on his gorgeous fabric designs. This is my 1st applique quilt.

Sky View

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed and commercial fabrics, heat bonded collage, trapped threads, yarns, fibers, sheer overlays, machine stitched. I love walking under and photographing the tangle of tree branches overhead – embracing the sky.

ConText

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed and commercial fabrics, heat-bonded, sheer overlays, found objects, machine stitched. We live in a society bombarded with visual stimulation – not all information gets processed.

Torrent

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed & commercial fabrics, netting, cords, yarns, trapped threads, sheer overlays, machine stitched. Water nourishes us, revives us, sustains us. It is a source of life, great power, danger and inspiration. This work was included in the Wonders of the World Touring Exhibit.

Text Mix

Pat Kroth

Heat bonded fiber fragments, hand-dyed and commercial cottons, found objects; sheer overlays, machine stitched. We are constantly contacted with messages: email, voice, text: sometimes the auto-correct feature distorts the true meaning.

Secret Garden

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed cotton, machine needlefelted, with silk, wool and synthetic fibers, machine quilted. The garden blooms even when we are unaware and in colors and textures unexpected or explained. This work was included in the Wonders of the World Touring Exhibition.

Ginkgo Breeze

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed, sun-printed cotton fabric, heat bonded applique, free cut leaves, machine stitched. Ginkgo leaves fall all at once when autumn truly arrives. I love the dance created as they ride the wind.

One Block Wonder, machine piecing, machine quilted by Roberta Levin It has been said that quilters “take fabric, cut it up, and sew it back together”. This is completely true of this quilt, which was made with just one piece pf fabric cut up into triangles and sewn back together.

For the Love of Fabric

Roberta Levin

Machine pieced, machine quilted by Roberta Levin (hand-guided long arm) Why do I love to make quilts? It’s about three things – color, fabric & texture. This quilt makes me happy in all three categories, but on this one the floral fabric was my inspiration.
