Inspired by her mother's green thumb with begonias, Andrea Brokenshire wanted to create a quilt that showed off her mom's knack for gardening. The appropriately named Orange Crushed It won Best Sewing Machine Workmanship Innovative at PIQF 2019 and features beautiful machine appliqué, machine piecing, and machine quilting. It just makes you want to stop and smell the roses (Oops, wrong flower).
Orange Crushed It by Andrea Brokenshire of Round Rock, Texas won Best Sewing Machine Workmanship Innovative at the Pacific International Quilt Festival (PIQF) 2019.

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, where you get your quilting ideas, how you feel about your scissors, and whether you use a rotary cutter or scissors.
Today we want to know: Are you using a basic sewing machine? OR, have you moved on to the sophisticated, technological marvels of today?

Sometimes you just get lucky. TQS member mkdquilts was at Quilters Take Manhattan 2015 where she spotted this quilt being "re-donated" to the Quilt Alliance by former Quilt Alliance President, Meg Cox. She was able to purchase the quilt and wants to share the amazing detail with you. For example, the background of the quilt was created using decorative stitches. Pat Holly's Chintz Bird won Second Place in the Quilt Alliance's "My Quilts/Our History" contest in 2008.
Here was the theme for that year:
The competition celebrates The Alliance for American Quilts' fifteen-year mission to document, preserve and share our great quilt heritage. Contest quilts should reflect your personal history as a quiltmaker. Your quilt might celebrate your favorite techniques or patterns, illustrate the ways in which your quilting skills have developed over the years, or serve as a tribute to a quilt teacher or other mentor. Just as long as the quilt's design is tied to your quilt story in some way, and the finished quilt is a 15" by 15" square.

Created using TAP, or Transfer Artist Paper, Lynn Koolish's Water Lilies (14" x16") is actually three images in one. TAP is an iron-on transfer that allowed Lynn to take three different images and make one singular image, providing a matte look that printing right onto fabric wouldn't provide her. The finished result is an image that looks like it was made with water colors rather than just a couple of pictures.
Learn from Lynn by watching Show 2711.
