Made in May during the quarantine this year, Emily Taylor's May Day quilt is another collage wonder. On a quest to create some beautiful flowers in fabric, Emily felt that she finally nailed it with this one. Utilizing pieces of fabric smaller than her hand, Emily used the foundation panel technique to create the values and dimensions seen throughout the quilt.

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 eleventh quilt from the exhibition.

Sometimes one artist's work in one medium can inspire another's in a completely different field. This was the case with Katherine Dossman and her quilt Maison Mondrian 2. She says about the quilt, "Inspired by Piet Mondrian I wanted to create a wall quilt using the same bold colors." Winning Best Interpretation of Mid-Century Theme Modern at PIQF 2019, it was "improv pieced" and "embellished with big stitch quilting." Talk about making a statement.
Maison Mondrian 2 by Katherine Dossman of Belton, Texas won Best Interpretation of Mid-Century Theme Modern at the Pacific International Quilt Festival (PIQF) 2019.
