Featured Quilt - First Place Pictorial at Road to California 2024
Main Street Tonopah by LeAnn Hileman won First Place in the Pictorial category at Road to California 2024. Also featured at the 2022 Houston International Quilt Festival, LeAnn had this to say about what she wanted to convey with her quilt. "Main Street Tonopah was my challenge to myself to depict different types of light - sunset, streetlights, headlights, reflected light, the light of signage of different types - and still not lose the energy in the dark areas. Ultimately, this quilt captured a moment in time in a small town in Nevada, proving there is more than meets the eye if you look at the right time and in a new way."

"The Star and Plume Quilt" by Cathy Miller
Cathy made The Star and Plume Quilt after she wrote a song of the same name for her third quilting CD, A Quilter's World. It tells a happy-ending story about our favorite quilt gal, Sunbonnet Sue, who finds true love after some dicey moments with an intruder, using 46 quilt block names to tell the story. Thanks to Barbara Brackman and her wonderful Encyclopedia of Quilt Block Patterns, Cathy not only got the names of the blocks but also got to see what they looked like. Cathy finished the quilt in the car on her way to Texas in January 2005.
