Captain John was prowling the floor of the International Quilt Festival in Houston when he saw "Sakura" by Masako Sakagami of Japan and it stopped him in his tracks. It is made from silk kimono cloth and cotton and contains machine piecing, appliqué, embroidery, and embellishment. Those black sections in the borders are actually openings in the quilt. (Capt'n John: "You have to see this quilt in person. The subtle pinks and purples don't show well in the picture. The details are actually overwhelming. It's one of those quilts you have to stand and look at for awhile to see all the different aspects.")

Cathy Wiggins has an all leather exhibit in Houston this year, "Cowboys, Horses, Quilting, and Leather!" But this isn't her first time at the Houston rodeo. As part of her "Just for Fun" quilt series, she created "Witches' Brew" which was exhibited in Houston 2011 in the "Art Whimsical" category. The puzzle was for viewers to find all of the secret elements hidden within the design of the quilt. See what you can find.

Katie Stein Sather and Karen Johnson of B.C. were mounting a new exhibit in Vancouver this month. The show was hung a week ago in the Unitarian Church, 949 - W. 49th Avenue, Vancouver. When Katie and Karen arrived for their Opening Reception...to their horror, several pieces had gone missing!
The missing pieces (nine quilts) were taken from the exhibit in the Parish Hall, which is across the atrium from the Sanctuary.
Click here to learn more and see photos of the missing quilts.
If anyone has any information, please contact Hunter, the church's office administrator.
