Judy's quilt, Crazy A'Peel, is a combination of the Orange Peel pattern and a modern art version of a crazy quilt. She used silk and upholstery fabrics, added trapunto, braid, buttons, miscellaneous embellishments and Swarovski crystals, and finally quilted it with holographic thread. You'll want to take the time to wander around and find all of its hidden suprises. The quilt was exhibited at IQF Houston 2012.

Pelican Parade, by Joanne Baeth, was the winner of the Outstanding Art Quilt category at Road to California 2013. It is her original design and measures 62" x 43."
Artist statement: Great flocks of white pelicans arrive in April in the area where I live in south eastern Oregon. They remain to nest and then fly south in the fall. Heavy machine quilting with many colors of thread was done to enhance the design. The sky was painted, inks were used to shade the pelicans and each bird has over fifty pieces.
Joanne previously spoke with TQS about another of her award-winning quilts. Here is what she had to say about her quilting process.
