Featured Quilt - "Open" and Available to All
Wednesday's LIVE, Alex featured Lilo's interview with Anna Maria Parry, who had an exhibit of stunning quilts at the 2024 Houston International Quilt Festival entitled Anna Maria's Blueprint Quilts. This exhibit featured Anna's quilts that showed "the essence of how she designs quilts based on overall structural features." One such quilt was Open Borders, which was made as an expression of Anna's desire to travel and reach out at a time in which she couldn't.
She says, "I designed and started this quilt while waiting for borders to open between countries during the pandemic. I used fabrics that were mostly collected during my 2018 teaching tour in Australia. It felt like a love letter to travel and hope to get on the other side of the isolation to see the world again. The X formation inspired the design, but I used more layering of piece sizes and appliqué."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Delightful Quilt at "Dawn" |

"Boats at Dawn" by Bonnie Langenfeld
Using a variegated fabric that reminded her of the sun hitting the edge of the water, and a photograph that someone gave her that she adapted to fit her needs, Bonnie created her Boats at Dawn quilt. The boats themselves are not pieced, they are either fused or glued, and a lot of individual cutwork was done of each side, back, and seat of the boats to get the shadows in the right places.
