This wool table runner was eco-printed with eucalyptus leaves and onion skins, allowing nature’s pigments to leave their mark. The process captures delicate veining, warm earth tones, and organic patterns—transforming humble materials into a functional piece of art that celebrates sustainability and the quiet beauty of the natural world.

Strength of a WomanSue Daurio
Strength of a Woman began as a tribute to the resilience and power of women everywhere. My plan was to layer the work with words that celebrated strength, perseverance, and the quiet but undeniable force of womanhood. When COVID hit, the piece shifted—words of strength mixed with raw emotions from lockdown: fear, anger, isolation, evenContinue reading “Strength of a Woman

Temari Ball – Layered DiamondsChris Deering
Made in an NSNG class with Jen Weber.
Coiled BasketChris Deering
This was the result of a class with Catherine Redford. When I arrived at the class with fabric of only one print and saw so many people had many different fabrics I was afraid mine would be boring. But I love the way it came out!
Whispers of the MeadowKathy Downie
Spontaneous hand weaving producing a sense of calm and natural imagery.
Pacific SunsetKathy Downie
Sunset falling into the Pacific horizon. Machine pieced and hand guided long arm quilted.
In Loving Memory …Mary Jo Eckhart
Created in Anne Kelly’s NSNG summer seminar class. My maximalist artist friend was my theme. Box was collaged from bits of her original art, cherished mementos, and papers from handling the administration of her estate. A very therapeutic process.
Variegated NatureBarbara Eich
Variegated Nature features dyed fabric in earthy tones, which frames a central column of leaf impression eco-printed panels. This piece is machine quilted using variegated thread free-motion stitched to add texture and depth for a visually raw, organic look. The overall composition creates a visual harmony that celebrates both natural and artistic elements in aContinue reading “Variegated Nature

Chit Chat ScrapSarah Evans
A bag of scrap fabrics with some completed blocks and some extra fabric were left on the “free table” at a guild meeting. They were too pretty to not adopt. The digital pantograph quilting pattern is called Chit Chat by Heather Derksen.
ShimmerSarah Evans
After taking a class from Sujata Shah I leaned into her improvisational techniques. This is one piece that I made with wonky half square triangles. I really love how the solid color fabrics shimmer and the texture of the linen fabric adds an extra dimension. This one is fun to look at up close andContinue reading “Shimmer

Rainbow MedallionSarah Evans
This began as a Medallion Sew Along guild challenge in 2016. 2016. Not a typo. Nine years in process isn’t *that* crazy. Quilted summer 2025 with a digital pantograph designed by Karlee Porter called Log Cabin Quake.
Scrappy RoosterSarah Evans
There is something very comfy to me about this type of scrap quilt. It’s not super fancy but it’s super cuddly! This began as a mystery quilt project in a retreat with my Mom, sister and cousin in 2012. The pieces have been in a bag haunting me for years. This summer they found themselvesContinue reading “Scrappy Rooster

Super StarSarah Evans
By using various shades of yellows and treating the blue elements in a scrappy way, this reinterpretation of a traditional block creates a stunning effect. This is the smallest version in this series.
Carnivorous LeafNona C Flores
A beautiful but lethal relative to the Venus flytrap–is it a prehistoric precursor (when bigger was better) or a genetically altered escapee from a laboratory?
Bird Nest–A Room with a ViewNona C Flores
A bird with bling deserves a ritzy nest with great views from all the rooms of her predator-free surroundings. This shape reminded me of woven bird nests that I saw in the Amazon that hung from branches looking like shoulder bags that could accommodate a coconut or a bowling ball.
