Weekend Fun - February 11, 2022
Featured Quilt - Award-Winning Innovative Animal Appliqué

Two things stand out right away when you first see Ann Horton's (Show 2005) award-winning quilt, Woodland Wilds. The first, that the appliqué work and thread painting is amazing. The second, who let a rabbit into this quilt show? No, there were no actual rabbits at the show, but you could have fooled us with how realistic it looked. Ann's quilt recently won First Place in the Animal category at Road to California 2022 and also took home Third Place in the Innovative category at PIQF 2021.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Heart Full of Love
"Heart Blossoms" by Ricky Tims

Ricky developed this little pattern, Heart Blossoms, as a February challenge a few years back. There are no directions for this design as Ricky wanted you to select a method that speaks to you personally. A few ideas include: needleturn, machine, or fused appliqué, wool felting, or maybe hand or thread painting. It's a little bitty thing, just have fun.

Learn from Ricky by watching him and Alex in How to Do Hand Quilting and How to Do Machine Quilting with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims.
