After discovering an extraordinary quilt from Connecticut in an online quilt history group and securing permission from its owner, a quilt group from Northwestern Washington began the journey of patterning The 1876 Centennial Quilt. Set in a unique Medallion-style arrangement, this quilt contains over 70 different patterns.
See this incredible exhibit at this year's Quilt Festival Chicago, March 28-30, 2019 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.

Jenny used the same technique for creating this piece as she did for her Boho Cutwork Denim Jacket. (Watch how she did it in Show 2404.) It is made from hand-dyed wool, hand-dyed silk organza, and polyester thread. Jenny writes in her book, Free-Motion Quilting from Ordinary to Extraordinary, "Once quilted, the back became its own story, hence the name."

Title of Quilt: Deep Blue
Quilter's Name: Laura Franci
Location: Siena, Italy
Hi, my name is Laura (screen name Stile Malena) from Tuscany, Italy and I love to play with fabrics. Actually, I started with patchwork 6 years ago. I’m a complete self-taught: I’ve studied and I keep learning from the web and i love pictorial quilt.. My mate Karen consider herself something between traditional and modern quilter and has never created any art quilt. Well, that is a great news!!! So, I looked up her FB page. O my!!! How many Karen Woolley on facebook!!! So she told me to look for her dog Maddie in in her profile picture. Maddie could be a great subject! ... but I didn't found a right picture for an art quilt (arghhh). I thought, maybe, on Instagram but nobody with her name and I didn't want to ask her so as not to get suspicious. Thank god, in the end, i found her account with her screen name and the right picture too. Not Maddie but a beautiful flower. I hope that flower come from her garden because it was an arduous search. :D
Title of Quilt: Broken Hives
Quilter's Name: Karen Woolley
Location: Saint James, New York, USA
This quilt was made for Laura, my Italian quilt partner. I love designing quilts and this one was no exception. I had the bee fabric in my stash for a while, waiting for inspiration to strike. I took this opportunity in this mini challenge to bring this fabric to life. I designed "Broken Hives" to bring to light the issue of the decline in the population of the American bee. In this quilt the bees are depicted flying around broken hives. The pieced muted background along with the circular quilting helps the viewer imagine the bees flying in circles. Perhaps by increasing the awareness of the decline of the American Bee, people will take action in improving their surrounding environment to become more bee friendly.

Designed by Shannon Gilman Orr, the wonderfully whimsical Woodland Secrets fabric line was inspired by time the artist spent living in a 100-acre wood in the New Hampshire hills.
Woodland Secrets will have you thinking Spring with tiny trees, florals, mushrooms, acorns, deer footprints, and gingham!
We have Woodland Secrets available as a Jelly Roll and a Layer Cake, and patterns to go with each.
The Layer Cake contains 42 - 10" x 10" squares and is perfect for making the Lakeside pattern.
