Featured Quilt - Lights, Camera, Action!
Movie Time by Jill Kerttula was featured as part of the SAQA Global Exhibition, Color In Context: Red, which was on display at Floral Hall in Carson Park in Paducah, KY during AQS QuiltWeek. Jill's quilt takes everything we love about going to the movies and distills it down to one perfect image fit for a quilt. She says, "The wonder of cinema. The crowd, the snacks, the excitement - all enhanced by neon reds and yellows. This theater is no longer open, but the gleaming floors an flights have created memories for many." |

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Beautiful Baltimore Album Quilt |
|

"Davis Album Quilt" by Jaimie Davis
Jaimie had been a quilter for two years when she made her Baltimore Album quilt entitled Davis Album Quilt. She had made several blocks, but at that time had never seen an appliqué quilt in person. When she and her husband moved to Portland, Jaimie joined a guild where one of the early meetings was on Baltimore Album quilts. She decided to bring a bunch of the blocks that she had made to show to the speaker that evening. Not knowing whether she was doing appliqué right or not, having only seen it in a book, she came prepared to present. Once the meeting was over, she was told not to show her blocks to the speaker, but rather to someone who worked at a local quilt shop, who told her what she was doing was right. Relieved, she left, but unbeknownst to Jaimie that person recommended to the shop owner that Jaimie be hired to teach there. Hired to teach at the shop after that meeting, Jaimie took her blocks and with them created her second appliqué quilt, the Davis Album Quilt.
