Take a look at all of the little tiny details in this "thread-drawn" quilt by Mikyung Jang. It's as if she used her thread as a pencil to draw the entire quilt. 

Hanok (A Korean-Style House) by Mikyung Jang was on display as part of the Merit Quilting - Machine Stationary sponsored by BERNINA of America exhibit at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2019.

Sheila decided this quilt, Forest Light, needed more "pop" so she created scrap bags of fabric with additional colors to choose from and added them to the quilt to give it that "light".

Quilting master Bethanne Nemesh has created a delightful scene from the Australian rainforest using dense quilting motifs to hint at the forest with its shimmering filtered light and richness of the earth. Aboriginal motifs are also hinted at as part of the border on her quilt, Homecoming.

Homecoming was on display at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2019.
