Barbara Nickelson's quilt, Almas' Roses, 86" x 93", took hand-drawn designs by Alma Scow and Alma Wrightman (1920-1930) and combined it with quilting by Jan Hutchinson. We saw this quilt at AQS QuiltWeek Spring Paducah 2017. We love how Barbara made the flowers flow around the quilt and how Jan crafted movement around them with radiating corners. The lovely quilted borders that flow into the flowers and the quilting in the center of the quilt, draw your eyes around the quilt.

Here's what fellow artist, Lyric Kinard, has to say about Deborah Boschert's work,

..."I also love the way she layers commercial and hand printed cloth, machine and hand stitching. Her color combinations are usually quiet with just enough spark and contrast to draw me in. There is something peaceful and intriguing about her work and you can tell there is a personal symbolism being used."

Watch Deborah at work here at TQS in Show 2108: Surface Design Simplified & Vintage Quilt Bed Turning.

When we saw Claudia Pfeil's quilt Fractal in our Daily Blog, it reminded us that she had a quilt at AQS QuiltWeek Spring Paducah 2017 that we loved. Claudia seems to have mastered a number of quilting skills in her quilt, Woven Journey. It has Fused Appliqué, Couching, Crystals, Free-Motion Quilting, Photo Transfer, Improvisational Piecing, and Paper Piecing. The quilt was originally inspired by the PIQF 2016 theme, "Then and Now."

In Show 2109, Michele Sanandajian wants to push the boundaries of what constitutes a quilt. Her collage work and her use of out-of-the-ordinary mediums makes her quilts stand out. Bits of dryer sheets, netting for produce, candy wrappers, and scraps of leather make their way onto a surface painted design in a layer-by-layer effect using her Innova longarm. Finishing off the work is her hand spun yarn that becomes the edge finish of the quilt.

Then, TQS catches up with textile artist, teacher, and “Dean of Corrections of the Chicago School of Fusing," Laura Wasilowski, in Sisters, OR, to see her “Pretty Planet” series and how she binds these unusually shaped quilts.

Star Members can watch Michele and Laura in Show 2109: Inventive Products & Binding Unusually Shaped Quilts, when it debuts Sunday, October 22, 2017.
