Featured Quilt - First Place Piecing at QuiltCon 2024
Shadow by Scott Culley won First Place - Piecing (Sponsored by Aurifil) at QuiltCon 2024. Here's a little bit from Scott himself about the inspiration behind his quilt and the design work that went into it:
""Shadow" delves into human relationships, drawing from my experiences as a child of divorce. It's a meditation on the interplay of expectations and reality. The quilt's captivating patterns comprise over 5,000 pieces crafted via a unique foundation paper piecing process, showcasing the depth of our emotional ties. The geometric designs symbolize routine dynamics, while the overarching image highlights relationship subtleties, often clouded by our biases. Beyond being a visual piece, "Shadow" is an introspective mirror. It urges viewers to transcend preconceptions and appreciate authentic connections, advocating for empathy and genuine bonds in daily life."

Handling the "Curves" of Improv Piecing
Maday Delgado loves to make quilts that mix both loud and saturated colors while also offering a place for the eye to rest. In our latest show she shares how to make an organic and freeform curved pieced block that requires no ruler or pins. Stacking three layers of fabric allows her to cut, shuffle, and rebuild several blocks at one time.
Learn from Maday by watching Improv Curved Piecing and Stitching with Maday Delgado | Working with Scraps with Ricky Tims.

"100 Astral Dreams" by Katie Fowler
100 Astral Dreams is one of Katie's earlier quilts where she made a whole cloth painting, cut the painting up, and put it back together to create a quilt. She decided that that process of creation was a really fun thing for her to do. It relieved her of the pressure of creating a really good painting, knowing that she could cut it up if she didn't like it and turn it into something else.
