Featured Quilt - Get Lost In a Haze of Hexagons
Ann Horton has created another masterpiece with Gypsy Wagons. She made her original hex block and then complimented it with digitized embroidery (Anita Goodesign) which she felt was a fun way to explore color and texture. Ann says, "This was not an "easy" quilt to make, but the result was super satisfying."
Ann's quilt was on exhibit at Pacific International Quilt Festival 2024. Want more of Ann? Watch her in How to Make a Landscape Quilt with Laura Fogg | How to do Machine Embroidery with Ann Horton. |

"Fiesta Beauties" by Alethea Ballard
After publishing her book, Maverick Quilts, Alethea decided to create Fiesta Beauties out of one of the patterns from that book that featured a big panel and circles. The reason for making the quilt was that Alethea got the titular "Beauties" fabric featured throughout the quilt and wanted to utilize it. When she began to cut out this fabric for the quilt, she noticed that the ladies had weird hands or elbows sticking out in awkward places. To remedy this, she cut away some extra fabric and collaged it with the ladies fabric to mask the weird parts. But the collage kept going and going until the quilt was done. Ricky loves Alethea's quilt for its traditional appearance that "fades" into the non-traditional by the use of the fabric-collaged "Fiesta Beauties".
