TQS Member, LenaCab, is sharing quilts from the Fifth All-Ukrainian Festival of Patchwork. The theme for this exhibition was "Kaleidoscope.
LenaCab says that in Ukraine there is no guild, but several quilter's groups who act independently. She belongs to the quilter's group, Ukrainian Center of Art and Culture. She is sharing the quilts of her group which is headed by Svetlana Dolesko.
Her group is the only one in Ukraine who received instruction from Jinny Beyer over three consecutive years (2009-2011). She taught them to hand sew and so most of them sew by hand.

The deadline is fast approaching if you want to participate in the National Quilt Museum contest, New Quilts from an Old Favorite.
Each year this international contest challenges quiltmakers to create an innovative quilt based on a specific traditional pattern. The 2014 theme is Carolina Lily. Winners of the contest traditionally include quilts from many different U.S. states and several other countries.
Quilts are selected for their excellence in design and techniques, their innovations, and their contributions to an exhibit showing the wide range of designs and styles the selected traditional pattern can inspire.
In cooperation with the American Quilter's Society, a catalog is published, featuring the award-winning and finalist quilts in full color, with a photo of the maker, information about the quilt's development and patterns and tips.
Past winners have included TQS members, let's see if we can do it again! The entry deadline is November 1, 2013.

A newly engaged young woman, with a 12-karat ring!, is cause for a fashion show of 1940's evening gowns. Just to show that there is nothing new in the fashion universe, you'll catch a glimpse of a bare midriff and even a "hoodie." This must have been made some time after World War II as they mention "No skimping on fabrics this season."

This week's puzzle, Positive Energy 4 - was created using Karen's "layered Curves and Peaks" technique.
“Layered Curves" (aka Layered Waves) makes curves faster and easier to do than curved piecing and unlike the raw edges in fabric collage, the edges in “Layered Curves” are neat and tidy. It is also the subject of her books "Layered Waves" (2009) and "Wearable Waves" (2012). Dramatic angles and points can be also be made using this technique, which contrast beautifully with the flowing lines.
