With Thanks to Gustav

One Block Wonder uses a single fabric, cut into 6 repeats, to create hexagons. I enjoy the surprise element of working through a one block wonder. (One Block Wonder)

Spring I

Jaclyn Bae

It was a long, cold winter. COVID-19 stopped everything, and many lives were lost. People became wary of each other, and it felt impossible to meet with loved ones. Yet we endured with hope, waiting for spring. (Hand dyed, discharged color of used denim jeans, hand rolled up.)

Chuppah for Sukkat Shalom

Cathy Baker

A chuppah is a Jewish wedding canopy symbolizing a roof over the married couple’s home. The Hebrew letter translates to mean “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine”. This Chuppah was created for Congregation Sukkat Shalom in Wilmette in honor of Founding Rabbi Sam Gordon’s retirement. (Machine pieced and quilted, fusible applique.)

Winki Stars for Susie

Cathy Baker

This quilt was made for my beautiful mom who as a little girl looked like the child in the backgroud fabric. At 90 years old she still remembers what it feels like to be a little girl with a kite! (Machine pieced (all Y-seams) and quilted.)

East Meets Morris

Carole Bates

The medllion was from a Broderie Perse class with Anita Shakleford. The rest is my design. I used more than 2 miles of gold thread for the embroidery. (Needleturn hand applique, Broderie Perse, embroidery, beading and hand quilted.)

Save the Whales

Kim Berry-Rogers

Hundreds of thousands of whales and other sea animals are trapped in nets every year. Once entangled they will likely perish. Yarn couched and quilted by Sue Daurio. (Paper pieced, machine applique, yarn couched, machine quilted. Made using cottons and silks, vintage doily and wool threads.)
