Johnny's Quilt
Name of Maker: Dixie Turner (mom)
Johnny's Quilt - In order to make several quilts for all my children (9), I wanted at least some of them to be original designs I've created. After doing this one I'm not so sure, lol! It was designed on graph paper, and I shaded in the 'well' optical illusion blocks. I used wovens and flannel all in masculine colors, some my son picked out. The blocks are about 20" and the sashing was a last minute decision. I thought the four-pointed stars looked like propellers and would be more boy-like. I'll be putting this in our local quild's show, we'll see how it goes!
A Closer Look
Name of Maker: alacrity
A Closer Look - This quilt was started in LaVeta, CO at a Ricky Tims Retreat. My hand-dyed cotton and some commercial batiks. Inspiration was microscopic images of cells, etc.
Sea Section
Name of Maker: Jan Reed
Sea Section - Created for a Mountain Art Quilters challenge titled Surf & Turf, this quilt depicts a sliced section of a Nautilus sea shell using a curved piecing technique taught by Sharon Schamber. Lots of seed beads were used to create additional dimension separating each section and in the outer border. Each section is quilted with different undersea creatures, including turtles, starfish, dolphins, seahorses, jellyfish and a mermaid.

Done in raw edged applique and thread painting for the scrub brush, with accents using Tsukineko inks and Prismacolor pencils.

Fish Friends - This quilt was made for my 2 grand nephews as a wallhanging. I loved using all the tropical fish fabric I had collected over several years.
Portrayal
Name of Maker: Sandy Jung
Portrayal - This quilt is my 'portrayal', in fabric, of a beautiful watercolor painting by an artist named Kathleen Parr-McKenna. When I first saw Kathleen's image on a greeting card at a shop in Estes Park, CO, two years ago, I knew I wanted to use her image in a quilt - not my usual style, since I like to design my own quilts. Kathleen’s painting is copyrighted, but she graciously granted me permission to use her image. My challenge was to not only respect her original vision, but also to infuse my own. Sometimes you can’t find the fabrics you need, so I handpainted the fabrics used for the pink flowers, the hummingbird and some of the background. I added detail using fabric paint pens, oil pastels and thread.
