Ring of Brodgar
Name of Maker: Denise Labadie
Ring of Brodgar - This is one of two quilts I made of Stones on the Orkney Islands, Scotland
Poulnabrone Dolmen
Name of Maker: Denise Labadie
Poulnabrone Dolmen - This quilt represents the Poulnabrone Dolmen, in the Burren, on the west coast of Ireland. It is almost exclusively my hand-painted fabric.
Monastic Cross II
Name of Maker: Denise Labadie
Monastic Cross II - "Monastic Cross II" stands across a small road from the other "Monastic Cross". They are from a 800 AD monastic site, although there are no remains of the monastery.
Chocolate Bubblegum
Name of Maker: Multiple - six different ladies and myself
Chocolate Bubblegum - Six ladies and myself each made 42 blocks and exchanged them with each other. This is my result. The blocks were machine quilted by The Blue Moose Shop in Fulton, NY and I added quilting in the sashing and borders.
Lev's quilt
Name of Maker: Rachel Hershberg
Lev's quilt - For my baby nephew. "Lev" means "heart." The hands are my family's, including my new baby.
Adina's quilt
Name of Maker: Rachel Hershberg
Adina's quilt - I made this from my grandmother's sheets, ribbons and metallic and glow-in-the-dark thread. My first experience freestyle stitching, not easy! Really fits my daughter's personality
Ferri's Alef-Bet Quilt
Name of Maker: Rachel Hershberg
Ferri's Alef-Bet Quilt - I made this for my at the time 3 year old daughter, based on the Hebrew alef-bet. Her name is "Atara," which means "Crown," and begins with the letter "Ayin," hence the crown. This was so much fun to design!
Stained Glass
Name of Maker: Susan McFarland
Stained Glass - These quilts are made using Brenda Henning's approach to stained glass quilts. There are no bias strips for the "leading". This is simply fabric fused onto a black piece of fabric, leaving some of the black exposed to be the leading. Fun and easy project. Quilted with variegated threads to match the "glass". I used Superior Threads "Rainbows" in several shades.
Caden's Quillow
Name of Maker: Frances Moores
Caden's Quillow - Just a little something for my youngest nephew for Christmas.
Uncle Bob's Beauties
Name of Maker: Frances Moores
Uncle Bob's Beauties - I made this for my dear Uncle Bob for his 94th Christmas. Fishing and dominoes are his passions and he has a twin brother living in Oklahoma.
Boot Scootin' Boogie
Name of Maker: Frances Moores
Boot Scootin' Boogie - This is for my horse lovin' cousin. Boots are appliqued with machine blanket stitch and were lots of fun to make!
A Child is Born
Name of Maker: Sandi
A Child is Born - Adapted from Jean Wells Portraits from Nature show using mini quilts within a quilt. I used embroidery and lace and thread instead of applique.
Phase Shift
Name of Maker: Ruth A. White
Phase Shift - A desire to use some of the luscious fabric I dyed in Elin Noble's 2007 Quilting By the Lake Shibori workshop inspired this depiction of lunar phases. Experimenting with reverse appliquilting to create multiple 'windows' in the quilt presented a challenge to precisely align the front and back, which is also pieced. There are five layers in all but the single-layer 'windows', with one of the layers being cotton canvas to maintain the shape of the edges. Definitely not a candidate for hand quilting!

A View Askew
Name of Maker: Ruth A. White
A View Askew - Seventh in my nebula series and fifth in my window series, "A View Askew" toys with shape and boundaries. The gossamer 'gasses' float off the edge of space while the 'window' opens onto an inner view of the nebula. I dyed the silk organza in the microwave using Procyon dyes, and reverse appliquéd the parallelogram from the top and batting, then the backing separately, inserting silk organza to fill the space between.

Spring Medallion
Name of Maker: Unknown Embroiderer
Spring Medallion - I purchased this linen in an antique store. The embroidery and Crocheted border were already done by an unknown artist. It is quilted with pastel Rainbow, So Fine and Bottom Line threads by Superior Threads.
Luella's Vintage Linen
Name of Maker: Unknown Cross Stitcher
Luella's Vintage Linen - A Vintage Linen Tablecloth quilted with Pastel Rainbows, Highlight threads and Bottom Line by Superior Threads. Cross Stitching artist is unknown. I am still in the process of adding pearl beading to the oval feather pattern that surrounds the quilt. I will update the photo when it is finished!
Strip Farm Mask
Name of Maker: Ruth A. White
Strip Farm Mask - I was inspired by the oddly shaped strip farms I espied one wonderful, clear flight. I saw a Mesoamerican mask in my final design, which led me to base my quilting patterns on ancient Mexican motifs. The two catfish represent the Mayan Hero Twins, Xbulanque and Hunahpu, who later became the sun and moon. Photography by artist.
