SW Stars for a New Day
Name of Maker: Ellen Lindow
SW Stars for a New Day - My first Block of the Month quilt was designed to hang in my cabin near La Veta, Colorado, and it does every summer. But I can't bear to leave it there by itself, so it comes home to Florida with me. The prints are all southwest, with turquoise fetishes, chili peppers and pottery prominent. It was so much fun to work on this each month as the new directions were posted.
Into the Big Bang
Name of Maker: ellenceleste
Into the Big Bang - Five years in the making, I took a class in Tampa to get this started. As soon as I saw the pattern I knew I wanted a space theme. Then I added a spaceship from my favorite SF show, Space:1999, cross-stitched on black with a few cross-stitched planets. The overall quilting pattern of stars completes the space motif.
Seedscape
Name of Maker: Annette Miller
Seedscape - This abstract quilt was inspired by "seedy" fabrics. The background is pieced with hand dyed seed bags. Numbers from the seed lots on the bags are still visible. Circles and wavy cut strips are commercial fabrics added by raw edge, machine applique. There are no straight seams on the front.
Exhausted
Name of Maker: Paula Tuano
Exhausted - My daughter took a picture of my two grandsons, Lyle, 6 on the left and Jake, 3 or the right. Everyone was exhausted after a day at the beach and the two boys fell asleep in the back seat of the car. It's very obvious who is the "sun bunny"

Turkey
Name of Maker: Marilyn Smith
Turkey - I bought this turkey fabric in Paducah last spring with the intention of making a Thanksgiving table topper and guess what??? I actually got it made in time for Thanksgiving. I chose two shades of solid brown to add to the palette. I made New York Beauty blocks and arranged them so the topper had curved edges. I added some prairie points to inside curves to add a pop of color. The center of the topper is uncut so you can see the turkeys.

Nelson
Name of Maker: Cuauhtémoc Kish
Nelson - Nelson was inspired by the recent news of Nelson Mandela's fading health. What a life story; so much of his life behind bars, and then the end of apartheid, and President of his own country. Remarkable story; a hero and inspiration by any account.
