Featured Quilt - Hang Ten!

Surf's Up by Beatrice Gilbert was featured in the Abstract category at Houston International Quilt Festival 2024. Entered as an abstract quilt, it is easy to understand the laidback design that Beatrice was going for, and it features some dazzling colors that helps it catch a gnarly wave (that's a good thing). She says, "A riot of color and graphics, this piece combines brights on a neutral field, designed to pop! The quilting includes small to jumbo circles in several forms to ground the many parts into a cohesive whole."

Double Needles Do The Trick

Then, Karla Overland shares examples of how choosing thread colors and stitching along the ditch can produce stunning effects.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Triangles From the Bay Area

"San Francisco Triangles" by Ashley Nickels

San Francisco Triangles is a companion quilt to her mother's, Sue Nickels, quilt, Birds In The Air. Both were created using the same fabrics, and the design concept of triangles, for a mother-daughter quilting class for Creativebug. Ashley's quilt has a Modern focus, while her mother's took a more traditional approach.
