I’ll Take Mine Modern

Peta Minerof Bartos

Fusible appliqué, free-hand longarm quilting (FMQ) on HandiQuilter/Avante This quilt was completed after taking a class with the artist. I gained enormous confidence in my quilting skills, and really enjoyed seeing what my machine and I could do.

The Flies, Dragon and Butter

Carole Bates

Hand needle turn applique, hand quilted, embroidery. This piece is hand needle turn applique and hand quilted. Original design for wreath and border. Flower and dragonfly from Mary Sorenson’s “What’s the Buzz” pattern.

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.)

Tuscan Starry Nights

Ronald Bedard

Machine pieced, machine quilted by Sally Evanshank I set the original design on point, used all star blocks rather than alternating stars and plain blocks, selected a scrappier background, and added the sashing. The result is a quilt that reminds me of Tuscany at night.

Cosmic Rhapsody

Ronald Bedard

Foundation pieced; machine appliqué; machine quilted by Sally Evanshank The unusual lone star (a wonderful Karen Stone pattern) went through several color variations; I finally used the color wheel to finalize the scheme. The appliqué is an original design, using techniques learned from Ricky Tims and his hand-dyed fabrics.
