Jenny used the same technique for creating this piece as she did for her Boho Cutwork Denim Jacket. (Watch how she did it in Show 2404.) It is made from hand-dyed wool, hand-dyed silk organza, and polyester thread. Jenny writes in her book, Free-Motion Quilting from Ordinary to Extraordinary, "Once quilted, the back became its own story, hence the name."

A machine quilter beyond compare, Jenny K. Lyon has created a quilt that just shimmers with the essence of fall. Golden Moments was Jenny's first quilt to land in the Houston Quilt Festival back in 2010 and it's not hard to see why it was selected for exhibit. The machine quilting is stunning. Take a few minutes to let your eyes wander over the quilt.

Jenny used Radiance fabric (a blend of silk and cotton) to give shimmer to her quilt. Click here for some of her tips with working with the fabric.

Suzy's quilt, Bohemian Garden, was made completely from knit fabrics. Yes, you read that correctly, knit fabrics. She wanted to challenge herself to do something new. Inspired by Henri Matisse, it's a lovely quilt.

Suzy writes, "Even though the Fly Away quilt pattern originally made its debut in Modern Patchwork Magazine in 2016, and then continued its journey across America to be a part of QuiltCon East in 2017, that is not where the life of this quilt truly began."

Suzy says, "This quilt began its life in the reject pile...I wasn’t going to give up on this quilt, though... Mayan Mosaic and I were going to pull ourselves up from the reject pile and plough ahead. Come what may."
