In Episode 1012 - Beyond Cotton: Working with Wool and Silk with Sonya Lee Barrington, Sonya demonstrates how to work with wool while showing Ricky how to make a purse out of a jacket.  This quilt is also a "re-cycled" piece.  The quilt top is 100% recycled wool and the buttons are recycled as well. It is machine pieced; hand embroidered and hand quilted. The back is new Pendelton® wool and the batting is wool as well.  The quilt measures 48" x 72".

The Jigsaw site changed the look.  You can increase the puzzle to full screen by clicking the little box and arrow icon in the lower right corner.  You can see it in the picture below.

After you make it full screen use the gear icon to rescatter the pieces.

Alex began this quilt in a Charlotte Warr Andersen class at Asilomar.  She didn't want to do the face of a person, so she decided on the eagle.  It measures 66" x 72" and is pieced and appliqued.  It is her own original design and unfortunately, no pattern is available.

TQS Member, Diane Phillips (MadisonMtn) combined Toni Whitney's "Spirit" Eagle with Ricky Tims Desert Visions Rhapsody Quilt.  This turned out to be a winning combination as Spirit Landing won second place in the 1st Entry in an AQS Paducah Contest sponsored by the YLI Corporation at the AQS Paducah show.  The quilt is 50" x 50" and was made from cotton fabrics.  It is machine pieced, appliqued, and quilted.

Congratulations Diane!

Peony by Barb Persing is 57" x 57"  and was created on white cotton fabric.  It was hand painted with ink and free motion quilted.  Barb used cotton batting and Aurifil cotton thread.  The quilt is based on an original photograph and was exhibited at Quilt Odyssey, 2011. 

Barb will be teaching in the TQS Classroom beginning May 22, 2012.  She'll be teaching her four-step approach to designing the quilting for your quilt, in Listen to Your Quilt.
