Featured Quilt - Third Place Pieced at Houston 2025
No Direction Home by Randa Mulford won Third Place - Pieced (Sponsored by AccuQuilt) at Houston International Quilt Festival 2025. Using patterns inspired by the work of Maria Shell, and traditional Seminole patterns, as her design source, Randa utilized a combination of machine piecing, machine quilting, and ruler work to bring her work to life.
She says, "No Direction Home is four small improv-pieced quilts based on the same original design and sewn from the same palette of colors. The four panels can be rearranged to create very different compositions—unfortunately, I can only show one of them here. Thanks to Maria Shell for encouraging me to go big!" |

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Wonderful "Water Lilies" |
|
|
|
|
|
"Water Lilies" by Lynn Koolish
Created using TAP, or Transfer Artist Paper, Lynn Koolish's Water Lilies (14" x16") is actually three images in one. TAP is an iron-on transfer that allowed Lynn to take three different images and make one singular image, providing a matte look that printing right onto fabric wouldn't provide her. The finished result is an image that looks like it was made with water colors rather than just a couple of pictures.
