Herons

Tracy McCabe Stewart

Hand dyed silks and cottons, commercial cottons, machine quilted. I have always had a fascination with herons. This quilt is the first in a series exploring their images.

Kathleen V. Stuart

Magic Vine

Ann Wasserman

Vintage hand-appliqued and hand embroidered quilt top, hand-quilted. I purchased this 1930’s quilt top about 30 years ago, along with enough fabric for the back. The appliqué is incredibly well-done. I designed the quilting and finished the quilt in honor of the anonymous artist who started it.

Flower Bed

Ann Wasserman

Folded fabric, tied, bead and button embellishment. This is one of a series I am making called Something From Nothing. All fabrics and embellishments are scraps and odds and ends.
