Featured Quilt - First Prize Quilters' Guild Challenge at the 2023 Festival of Quilts
Couched Birds by Sheena Norquay took home 1st Prize in this year's Quilters' Guild Challenge at the 2023 Festival of Quilts in Birmingham. This amazing avian quilt took, as its name would suggest, a healthy supply of free motion couching and free motion quilting to complete. Each bird of the sixteen featured has its own distinctive personality that at any moment could just fly off the fabric to come and
greet you.
Sheena says about the creation of her work, "I had so much fun expressing myself with colour and pattern in the creation of fantasy birds and a variety of decorative, circular patterns, all my own original designs. I hope the birds make you smile."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Putting A Twist on a "Twizzle"
|
 |
|
|
"Space Twizzle" by Rob Appell
After being "afraid" that they would stop producing great-looking sea life fabric and that he would be "out of the job", Rob Appell decided to pivot towards making bio-mechanic, weird science quilts that have become a part of his Twizzleman Project. At the time of its inception, Rob was doing some tattoo study and cleaning Pat Twissleman's sewing machine the day after he finished Space Twizzle. Looking down at the work order and thinking about the "twissle" part of the name, and the fact that the quilt he had made a twizzle in it itself, he asked Pat if he could use her name in the quilt when she came to pick up her machine. She gave her blessing after seeing the quilt and Space
Twizzle and the rest of the Twizzleman Project was born.
