Featured Quilt - Award-Worthy Buzz

Sometimes a sampler quilt can be much more than a sampler quilt, it can be an award-winner too. Not only did Robyn Gragg's quilt, Bee Attitudes, help her hone and improve her techniques, it also won her 1st Place - Traditional at the 2021 Virtual Spring Quilt Festival. Robyn says, "I was inspired by the Bee Joyful fabric line by Deb Strain for Moda. Pieced and appliquéd bees, skeps, and flowers make up this sampler style quilt."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Flight of Fancy

"A Flight of Thread Duos & Delights" by Mel Beach

A Flight of Thread Duos & Delights was created as a challenge quilt with the theme of "Birds in the Air". "Birds in the Air" is a traditional quilt block that for this quilt Mel put into a diagonal format to create a star. For the quilting, she blended thread through one needle to create different shades and tones by taking two different colored threads and using a top stitch to create a new color.
