Featured Quilt - The Master Award for Machine Artistry at Houston International Quilt Festival 2025
Houston International Quilt Festival 2025 is now in full swing, and people are flocking to see the amazing quilts on display. But if you can't make it to the show, we're here to help you out by bringing you the award winners with great close-ups. This winner already has many ribbons to her name, and is no stranger to the quilt show circuit. That's right, Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry won The eQuilter.com Master Award for Machine Artistry for her quilt, Tricuspid Biomorph #2.
Caryl says of her work, "For this quilt, I resurrected some designs based on doodles I drew inside radially symmetrical hexagons in 1995. In CorelDRAW, I placed the hexagonal shapes in a rectangle, extended the lines within the hexagon to the edges of the rectangle, then tweaked them until I had a line drawing I liked. I filled the spaces between the lines with color gradations and images of fabric I hand-painted with dye. The hummingbird was added just for fun."
The 2025 Houston International Quilt Festival has begun and runs through October 12, 2025 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.
If you'd like to learn more from Caryl, watch her right here on The Quilt Show in How to Do Applipiecing and a Studio Visit with Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: For The Strong |

"Raising A Strong Girl" by Lynn Czaban
Raising A Strong Girl uses a photograph of Lynn's friend's daughter dressed for Halloween as its subject. The inspiration for the theme of the quilt came from when Lynn saw her friend's daughter look at the photo of herself in the costume and seeing her surprise at how strong she looked. This in turn led to discussions between the mother, daughter, and Lynn about how to keep girls feeling that strength within themselves. Lynn's quilt won Second Place - Small Wall Quilts: Pictorial (Sponsored by PFAFF) at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah 2024.
