Nancy Arseneault created a spectacular quilt all because her husband wanted a tattoo. The Quilt With The Dragon Tattoo (74" x 55") received a first place ribbon at Road to California as well as an Honorable Mention in the Art-Whimsical category at Houston.

Artist Statement: “A collaboration with tattoo artist Stephanie Noell Davis yielded a wonderful image of a Chinese dragon containing my favorite quilt motifs: feathers, spirals, and dots. I adapted her line drawing, adding lots of color. The interior border, sashiko stitching, and quilting designs are all from traditional Japanese stitchery.” (Design inspired by a drawing by Davis)

Learn how to add quilting design to your quilt from Nancy in Show 2802: Quilting Design Masterclass.

Blue Tulips on Pink Skies was machine quilted in a traditional style with feathers, stipple quilting, and curvy lines. Sue Nickels' quilting designs were inspired by Amish Bars quilts. Cotton fabric, thread, and cotton-blend batting were used to create this lovely quilt, which also appears on the cover of her book, Machine Quilting: A Primer of Techniques.

In Kaleidoscopic XXXIX - Right and Wrong Sides Together, the left kaleidoscope was pieced traditionally by sewing the right sides of the fabric together. The segments of the right kaleidoscope are identical to the left, but are pieced with the wrong sides of the segments together. A single layer of black tulle covers the right kaleidoscope. The quilt measures 45" x 85" and all of the fabric was designed by Paula with the exception of the batiks and tulle. It is machine pieced and machine quilted.

Star Members can watch Paula at work in Show 2010: Easy Piecing with Complex Fabrics Makes Stunning Quilts.
