The Austin Area Guild created "Red, White, & Stars" a 95" x 95" group quilt. The techniques used were Hand Appliqué, Free-Motion Quilting, Foundation Piecing, Hand Piecing, and Machine Piecing. It was quilted by Angela McCorkle (great job Angela). The Design Sources were: "Feathered Star Quilt Blocks 1" by Marsha McCloskey © 2003 Feathered Star Productions, Inc. and "A Flock of Feathered Stars: Paper Pieced for Perfection", by Carolyn Cullinan McCormick © 2013 C&T Publishing/Kansas City Star
The quilt came in 1st in the Group Category (sponsored by Innova) at Paducah 2017.

Joen Wolfrom is a color expert that looked for a way to make it easier for the rest of us. You can't dedicate all the time necessary to learn it all so do what you did in College....use the "Cliff Notes". Joen designed the Color Wheel and the 3- in-1 Tool to make your life easier and your quilts more colorful. The following are descriptions of the benefits.
Another benefit?? You get more off if you buy the combination of the Color Wheel and the 3-in-1 Tool together.
"By popular demand, Joen Wolfrom has designed a durable, color-accurate, double-sided, multi-purpose color wheel that is perfectly sized for use in your studio, workroom, office, or sewing room.
It’s easily transportable. One side of the wheel features 24 pure colors with 4 essential color-plan wheels for each color. The opposite side shows a range of each pure color’s tints, shades, and tones. Pure-color wedges are slotted so you can audition colors (fabrics, paint swatches, etc.) alongside them to ensure a perfect match.
• Beautiful color reference based on the Ives scientific color theory–the definitive color source for nearly a century.
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3...
1. Start with your desired color card
2. Choose one of the color scheme options
3. Find the corresponding companion color cards to create the perfect color combination.
New! Includes CMYK and RGB formulas, plus Hex numbers for website design
Improved! Larger color swatches and expanded guidelines for use
• 24 color cards plus an in-depth instructional guide make color planning easy
• Handy, take-along size-refer to it at home, in your studio, or while shopping
• Based on the Ives Color Wheel"

Lyric writes, This piece was begun and set aside almost 10 years ago but it was time to take it out and put it together. It sprang from a trip where laughter bubbled continually and effortlessly.
