Sweeney’s Irish Chain

Sue Sweeney

Machine pieced, long-arm quilted. This project fabric was purchased in 2008-2010. Thanks go to Linda Howard of Quilter’s Heaven who helped me with the fabric selection. Long-arm quilted by Sue DiVarco.

Blueberry Peach Cobbler

Rachel Sychowski

Machine pieced, machine quilted, and trapunto. This was my entry for the 2014 Hoffman Challenge. It traveled to quilt shows across the United States for a year.

Mon Amour

Lampkins Tracy

Hand dyed (bleached), layered fused fabric, hand quilted. A play on the Chicago flag. Had a lot of fun bleaching the turquoise batik. Cutting out the layered skyline was tedious, but well worth it. It turned out beautifully.

Hope

Lampkins Tracy

Fused fabrics, hand quilted. This is a piece inspired by the election art work of the 2008 election. My first attempt at a portrait quilt; think it turned out great & it was a lot of fun.

Magic Vine

Ann Wasserman

Vintage hand-appliqued and hand embroidered quilt top, hand-quilted. I purchased this 1930’s quilt top about 30 years ago, along with enough fabric for the back. The appliqué is incredibly well-done. I designed the quilting and finished the quilt in honor of the anonymous artist who started it.

Flower Bed

Ann Wasserman

Folded fabric, tied, bead and button embellishment. This is one of a series I am making called Something From Nothing. All fabrics and embellishments are scraps and odds and ends.

Connected Friends

Hedy Wessel

Cut & pieced myself, chose own colors, I quilted on regular machine. Making this quilt was a challenge, seemed complicated, but was fun putting it all together.
