LegacyMarilyn Graves
Photography digitalized into machine embroidery. Machine quilted. My father was a gardener and my mother a fiber artist. They instilled a passion for both in me. My quilt brings together these 2 passions. The flowers on this quilt represent a collection of legacy flowers lovingly transplanted from my grandparent’s and father’s garden into my own garden.

In Other WorldsDiane Greening
Pieced with purchased hand-dyed fabric, machine quilted. I was experimenting with curved pieces and liked the way these seem to float against the background like UFOs, or as the government prefers to call them, un-identifed aerial phenomena.
