Pueblo Pottery Song
Name of Maker: Ann L. Petersen
Pueblo Pottery Song - Made from just 2 kinds of fabric - the dark teal, dark purple and silver are a silk/cotton sateen and the lighter teal and lavender are a polyester satin. This is as close to a wholecloth quilt as I seem to be able to make - somehow I just need to add piecing!. I have an anthropology background and have always loved the Ancestral Pueblo pottery designs. I drew up all the quilting based on pictures and drawings of pottery (some from Decorative Art of the Southwestern Indians by Dorothy Sides (Dover). Quilted on my Bernina.
Who's That?
Name of Maker: Terry Knott
Who's That? - Inspired by the book, "Remember Me," I used thread painting, applique, trapunto, machine piecing and machine quilting to make it. It has wook and cotton batting. I quilted it with cotton, silk and monofilament thread. My first real attempt at thread painting and I loved it!

Not so Simply for Sarah

Sailor's Delight
Name of Maker: Qlts2Slo
Sailor's Delight - Created for an "ugly fabric" swap challenge. Lightest fabric was the "ugly" one (not to me). The result felt like sunset over a lake so I added fused applique ripples.
