In looking back at pictures we ran across this wonderful Japanese quilt. It was an award-winning quilt we saw at Houston in 2012 and came from the exhibit "Winning Quilts - International Quilt Week Yokahama 2011". It has a very modern feel and the fabric movement really gives you a feel of the winds. But don't miss the big stitching that is done in a way to add to the movement and feel. Don't you love the use of color?

Nina calls this her "nuts and bolts" quilt and created it for an appearance on the Fons & Porter show. We love the modern look and simplicity of the design. Star Members can watch Nina in Show 2505.

Charlotte Hickman has recreated natural beauty again with her quilt, Thread-Painted Hollyhocks. These larger-than-life flowers just jump off of the quilt, coming forward from the multi-colored background that screams sunshine and spring. The thread painting highlights the flowers and gives them depth and dimension. We'd love to have these in our garden.

We love the use of the large "Hexies" in Nina's quilt. We are also intrigued by the way she finished the border and the use of her embroidery capabilites in the quilting of the piece.
Watch Nina in Show 2505.
