Featured Quilt - First Place Appliqué at Road to California 2024


Anika by Mary Olsen won First Place in the Appliqué category at Road to California 2024. Mary's quilt is a shining example that if you have the determination and follow-through to complete your projects you'll be rewarded with something amazing to share with the world. She says, The completion of Anika represents over two years of perseverance and challenged me every step of the way. The quilt is comprised of raw edge applique, trapunto, machine couching, and a plethora of Swarovski crystals."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: History Through Nature

"Tree Rings" by Diana S. Fox


The process used to create Tree Rings, and for that matter, the round blocks that Diana has become known for lends itself well to reusing a lot of recycled materials. This quilt in particular contains pieces of fabric from South Africa, shirts, pants, military uniforms, and other diverse pieces of fabric that Diana saw and could relate to when looking at real-life tree ends. Each of the tree ring blocks were made individually and arranged into the quilt's shape after the fact.
