In Deborah Langsam's Out of the Mouths of Babes, half-inch square images of notable women come together in this celebration of women’s wit and wisdom. From a distance, the viewer sees a set of purple or red lips. Up close, women’s faces emerge…from Abigail Adams to Annie Oakley, from Hillary Clinton to Judge Judy.

Marisela Rumberg created a quilt of Frida Kahlo that was featured in the HERstory: A Celebration of Strong Women exhibit. Depicting "the first 20th century Mexican artist whose work was purchased by the Louvre", Marisela's work is free-motion quilted and painted. We think Frida would approve.
Frida Kahlo by Marisela Rumberg of Annandale, Virginia was featured in the HERstory: A Celebration of Strong Women exhibit category at Houston 2017.

Previously, we asked how you store your stash, what's on your design wall, how you quilt your quilts, how you baste your quilts, how you hang your quilts, and where you get your quilting ideas.
This week we want to know how you feel about your scissors. Are you, "I only use them to cut fabric; use them and die?" OR, "They're only scissors, who cares what you cut with them?"

If Carol Morrissey featured one grandchild in one of her quilts, you knew she was going to feature the others. In Kora, Carol presents another magnificent quilt in her Exaggerated Pointillism style, this time featuring her granddaughter. While Pointillism in the art world features dots of the same size and pure color, in Carol's style she utilizes different sized circles and whatever colors blend best to bring out the work's image.
Learn from Carol in Show 2710.

TQS continues its feature of quilts exhibited in 2020 at QuiltCon as part of The Quilts of Victoria Findlay Wolfe exhibit. The exhibit is described as:
"Purposeful play is a deliberate free-form practice with one goal in mind: to ultimately improve the outcome of the finished product while capturing a thought, emotion, or technique. Always fascinated by color, pattern, and quilters who came before us, Victoria Findlay Wolfe found her life's true joy in exploring her grandmother's quiltmaking as a starting point.
Her diverse and exciting body of work stirs quilters worldwide to dig deeper, take risks, and experiment with fabric. This retrospective exhibit features a selection of Findlay Wolfe's inspiring quilts and the stories behind them."
Please enjoy Victoria's eighth quilt from the exhibition.

For Charlotte Wright and Jessica Schick, quilting was not their career, but they "love the artistry and creativity involved in quilting." That's what Purple Crossroads means to them though, it "represents the paths we take to balance our other careers and our love of quilting." Based on Summer Wine by Jenny and Simon Haskins, the quilt features stunning machine piecing and appliqué along with digitized embroidery design across both silk and cotton fabric.
Purple Crossroads by Charlotte Wright and Jessica Schick of Stillwater, Oklahoma was featured in the Embellished category at Houston 2017.
