Nancy was inspired by a photograph she saw on the Captain Kimo website. She found the nature photographer’s heron photo and received approval for its use. The photo was taken in the Wakodahatchee Wetlands nature preserve park in Florida. It's a truly amazing quilt and the feathers really look like feathers.
 
Bonnie Browning interviewed Nancy about her quilt in Paducah. Watch the video at the botton of the blog.
 
 
 
 
Nancy's quilt has won numerous ribbons including 1st Place Small Wall Quilts: Home Machine Quilted in Paducah 2015 and a 3rd Place ribbon in AQS Phoenix 2016.

"Beachy" is essentially a strip quilt and we love that in each strip, Maria has put a different quilting pattern.

The House Quilt Project was established in June of 2010 to assist Furnishing Hope, who works with designers to create interior rooms and entire houses to help those in need.
 

For The House Quilt Project, Jamie works with individual quilters to coordinate the making of patriotic house quilts for the walls of rooms for individuals wounded in service to our country, Heart of the Home for women and children who are transitioning out of homelessness, and Habitat for Humanity.

Each house quilt measures 12" wide by 16" high and hangs on the wall.

Since the project began, over 250 house quilts have been made on behalf of Furnishing Hope.

Need a little break from it all? Why not slow down and join Laura as she stitches this sweet little Paint Brush for fun. It is hand embroidered on wool using techniques (7 different embroidery stitches) from her new book Joyful Stitching: Transform Fabric with Improvisational Embroidery published by C&T Publishing.
 
If you are unfamiliar with the 7 stitches Laura uses, she has links to instructions in her blog.
 
 
And, watch Laura here at TQS in Show 1009: "Stamp Out" Fabric where she demonstrates a number of embroidery stitches.

"Spot On!' actually won two awards at MQX New England 2018. It won Best Machine Quilting - Stand Up and Best of Show. Gail Stepanek and Jan Hutchison hand appliquéd the blocks and set them in a pieced background while Jan used colorful cotton thread and silver metallic thread for the quilting designs.
