Ancient Echoes
Name of Maker: Jan Reed
Ancient Echoes - Inspired by a challenge to do something representing another culture, I wanted to capture the disdainful tolerant attitude I'd witnessed in the iguanas found poolside at a Puerto Vallarta resort when dealing with the tourists who constantly followed them around photographing them. They seemed to tap into an awareness that they have been around millenniums. I added background images from the Mayan culture to reflect some of what they might have witnessed. All raw edge applique and reverse applique used on over 250 pieces of batik fabriic. The spines on "Juan's" back are dimensional. Prismacolor pencils and Tsukineko inks used to enhance values.
Joelle's Quilt
Name of Maker: Karen Good
Joelle's Quilt - I made this quilt from a larger pattern and sized it down to fit a baby bed. I had made one similar before this so pretty much know what to do. I added borders to make the quilt a bit larger then used Satin Blanket Binding to finish the quilt.

Five Favorite Things
Name of Maker: sewgentle
Five Favorite Things - I made this quilt for a swap called Five favorite things which were her grandchildren, wonky stars, bright colors, the beach, and owls.
Wonky Squares
Name of Maker: Peg Jones
Wonky Squares - My daughter chose this as a late wedding gift for she and her husband. She chose the pattern and fabrics. The directions for making the blocks were excellent but there were none for how to put all the oddly shaped blocks together so that part was a challenge. The purple squares are appliqued to the intersections.

Natasha's Graduation Quilt
Name of Maker: Peg Jones
Natasha's Graduation Quilt - My niece chose this quilt for me to make for her high school graduation. All the colors will certainly brighten her dorm room. I had a lot of fun quilting all the cirlces with my new LA. It's the 2nd quilt I did on it and the first using templates.
Puzzle Quilt
Name of Maker: Cynthia Anderson
Puzzle Quilt - One of my quilt groups (the Lone Mountain circle of Desert Quilters of Nevada) did a block-of-the-month with the traditional block, St George's Cross. We used the same block every month, just changing the placement of our four fabrics each time. This is a great study in the drastic differences that can be obtained by judicious use of color (and value!). I just can't resist going small, so I pieced my blocks at 3 inches. Thanks to Helen Baczynski for developing this project.

Name of Maker: Carrie Kleyn "Cookin"
Collettes Pinwheels - Loveingly made for baby Collette. This is the second quilt made with the Bliss line of fabric from Camille, scraps are great! I am sure I was inspired by Camille's show on The Quilt Show, time to move on to another show!
