Featured Quilt - Second Place Improvisation and a Judge’s Choice Award at QuiltCon 2025
So Many Small Things by Heidi Parkes won Second Place - Improvisation (Sponsored by SAQA) and received Tammie Rubin's Judge’s Choice Award at QuiltCon 2025. Heidi says about her work, "This Diary Quilt began with a desire for efficiency as I returned to machine piecing. The repetition of blue vs colorful squares mimics balancing computer work vs sewing time, and urgent vs important tasks. Strip piecing and 'pleats' (seams that are folded and sewn) are techniques that mirror the streamlining I've been eager to prioritize throughout 2024 in the royal blue studio of my Artist's Residency at the historic Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee." |

A Keeper From The Closet
Quilters by their nature keep lots of things, as evidenced by their large stashes. So you never know if you have a diamond in the rough among the collection of other things you have boxed up in your house. Take for example this Women's Cotten Printed Dress from the late 1700s that was gifted to a couple. They took it to Antiques Roadshow to find out some more about it and received quite a pleasant surprise with the information they received. Watch the video to find out what they learned. |

"Tickled Pink" by Susan Carlson
Susan says of her quilt, "Tickled Pink was inspired by a woodblock illustration by 15th Century German engraver Albrecht Durer, who’s work I was aware of and admired since my early teens. Flash forward a few decades and I’m reminded of his black and white rhinoceros. Soon after I’m in a fabric shop and pick up a luscious pink and flaming orange bolt of fabric. I immediately saw armor in the design. That was the moment of inspiration for this piece. A pink rhino of course!"
