Jeremy’s Graduation Quilt

Julie Johnson

Machine pieced and quilted. My honorary nephew, Jeremy, is graduating next June 2015 from West Point and I wanted to make him a quilt with West Point’s colors (black, gray and gold).

Barn Raising Stash Bust

Kathy Jurevicius

Self-mitered, no bias edge block technique by Anita Grossman Solomon; machine quilted. I enjoyed the process of arranging my fabric scraps into a series of light-to-dark gradations and the ease of using vellum paper for piecing.

Too Sweet

Pat Kroth

Heat bonded fiber fragments, candy wrappers, found objects; toys, paperclips, buttons, trapped threads. Tulle overlays. Machine stitched. After my four kids left me a deposit of candy wrappers behind the couch one year after halloween, I started adding to the collection and including them in my work.

Twist of Lime

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed fabric, heat bonded applique, machine embroidered and stitched with cotton, wool, rayon and polyester threads. Machine needle-felted with wool fibers. I trained for and competed in three full Ironman Triathlon events. During a particularly hot day out on the bike course I motivated myself by thinking of a tall cool drink.

Maple Dance

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed and sun-printed cotton, machine stitched. Fall is my favorite season, not only for nature’s beautiful display, but for the winds of change that it brings.

Blooming Sweet

Pat Kroth

Hand-dyed and commercial fabrics, candy wrappers, buttons, vegetable bags, tulle, machine stitched. As a parent of 4 kids, over the years I have found candy wrappers stashed behind the couch and in the back of the van. Now I have chosen to put them to good use.

Tide Pool

Pat Kroth

Heat bonded fiber fragments: cottons, cotton blends, lace, satin, ribbons, trims and threads. Tulle overlays. Machine embellished with cotton and rayon, and metallic threads. This is one in a series of pieces about water – its beauty, power and inspiration.
