Temari Balls

Sylvia Dresser

Thread wrapping, hand stitching. Temari balls originated as children’s toys. Today they are a Japanese art form.

1 + 1 = 3

Sylvia Dresser

Coiled basket, hand embroidery and beading. I have had many opportunities to collaborate with wonderful people, coming up with outcomes that were greater than the sum of us, hence 1+1=3.

Walt

Mary Jo Eckhart

Hand embroidery using strand-able silks on vintage family table linen. Although I’ve stitched for many years, I never thought I could stitch a face. This portrait was created in a class at Arrowmont taught by the awesome Lauren DiCioccio. One of my classmates writes for a British embroidery blogger. “Walt” has been featured on mrXstitch.com

On Wisconsin

Miriam Eisenberg

Machine pieced and quilted. Commercial fabrics. Shows my forever love of my alma mater, University of Wisconsin. Machine quilted by Sally Leed.

Dark Forest Purse

Barbara Feinberg

Machine sewn. This purse was made in an IQI workshop with Sara Lawson. I found the perfect fabric in my stash to make a purse to wear with black and blue. First time installing feet and an adjustable strap.

Here’s Looking at You, Kid!

Nona C Flores

IQI Fused applique, chartpak image transfer, machine and hand quilting. My current regimen of all-black Eileen Fisher professional wear barely suppresses a lifelong love of clothes with lace, ruffles, pleats and pouf-y skirts. An unfortunate predilection of strips, spots and all things orange breaks out all too often.

Time is Tight

Iva Freeman

Machine pieced; machine quilted. I don’t usually use pink in my quilts, but this color spoke to me.

Dreams

Linny Coale Freeman

Fiber reactive dyes, soy wax on jacquard silk fabric. This piece represents a shifting transformation of color, movement and space. I intended to create panels of change that will keep us anchored as we move through the transitions.

Joan Galantha

Free motion stitching, layered fabric and colored netting, quilting techniques,and french knots. Inspired by a trip to Maine, I took a picture of one of the crabs that was dinner and let my imagination go from there

Garden Gallery

Joan Galantha

Multi layered fabric and netting, quilting techniques, french knots, raw edges, and free motion stitching. Inspired by a beautiful flower box outside an art gallery in a small town in Maine
