Jeremy's Guitars
Name of Maker: Valerie Beaver
Jeremy's Guitars - Based on the original quilt by Pat Sloan (who used the Bebop fabric collection from P&B Textiles). Quilt was made using fabrics from my stash for my youngest son who was been learning to play the guitar for the past few years.
Flowers and Squares
Name of Maker: cindykm
Flowers and Squares - I used the Swirly Girl's Big 10 pattern. I resized the blocks and added the border. The pattern went together quickly, provided a showcase for the flower prints in the material and allowed me to spend time on the border. It was a Christmas present and in the rush to get it finished and wrapped, I did not take a very good picture. Sigh!
Bees
Name of Maker: cindykm
Bees - Two of my friends and I decided to get together one Saturday and make our first "Art" quilts. The individual bees in the upper left was the result of that adventure which grew into this set of three quilts.
Valentine Feathers
Name of Maker: Mary Fanslau
Valentine Feathers - "Valentine Feathers" is a 24" x 24" Trapunto Wall Quilt I free motion quilted on my domestic machine. I adapted this pattern and used techniques I learned from Sharon Schamber on her "Trapunto" You Tube and from Cindy Needham's technique called "Sunshine and Shadow" stippling.

Shooting Stars
Name of Maker: Sheila Christensen
Shooting Stars - I designed this quilt on EQ7 using Jinny Beyer's Coraline fabric range. I love the brightness of the turquoise against the black. I called the quilt Shooting Stars as the blocks remind me of stars shooting through the night sky. I have taught this quilt as a Quilt in a Day and my lovely quilters have made it in some great colour combinations including bright pinks from the Jinny Beyer palette and mushrooms from the Stof Christmas range. They all looked stunning and the quilt is easy to do with strip piecing. This is my wedding quilt to celebrate my marriage in December 2011.
Shifting Strata
Name of Maker: Sheila Christensen
Shifting Strata - I used the blocks from Wendy Williams pattern and experimented with the colours, I love the pop that the gold and purple give to the greys. Arranging the blocks was an interesting exercise and I looked at them on my design wall for a long time before coming up with the final layout. This quilt reminds me of the rocks in the South Island of New Zealand, and I named it Shifting Strata as I thought of the recent earthquakes in Christchurch.
Dan's Sax
Name of Maker: Billie Yarbrough
Dan's Sax - I wanted to make my grandson a quilt that would not be too young looking as he got older. He plays in his school band and in the all city band.

Thunder Bay Charm Quilt
Name of Maker: Joyce Triezenberg
Thunder Bay Charm Quilt - This quilt uses 1089 different fabrics acquired during a charm square exchange by the Thunder Bay Quilt Guild in Atlanta, MI. I used an idea from Martha Thompson's book, "Square Dance:Fancy Quilts from Plain Squares." Even with the help of the book, sewing, cutting and arranging the pieces in a "Trip Around the World" fashion for such a large quilt was quite a challenge. This quilt won 2nd place for its categoryin the Michigan Quilt Network statewide show in 2009.
