Featured Quilt - A Multi-Awarding Winning Beauty
Eyes of the Forest by Margaret Solomon Gunn is just a stunning quilt that has won multiple awards including:
* Best of Show, Mancuso Mid-Atlantic Show, 2023
* Best of Show (Small Quilt) Minnesota Quilt Show, 2023
* First Place, Minnesota Quilt Show, 2023
Here's what Margaret has to say about her amazing quilt, "This quilt is constructed from fussy-cut hexagon clusters made from Tula Pink fabrics and turquoise scraps of silk Radiance I dyed for Sweet Madame Blue. The background, also silk, is a stock color. The design is original and all applique is turned-edge and hand stitched, even the very tiny 1/4″ berries."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Inspired By Japanese Art

"Kirigami #2: Chevrons" by Shannon Conley
Shannon writes of her quilt, Kirigami #2: Chevrons, "I love the color, feel, and texture of quilted fabric, but am constantly drawn to pull it into the third dimension, to add shape and form to its other qualities. When applied to quilts, the regular crisp cuts and folds of the traditional Japanese art of kirigami provide a way to do this; to sculpt fabric while preserving the repeating geometry and secondary patterns reminiscent of traditional quilt blocks."
