Featured Quilt - Third Place Miniature Quilts at Paducah 2023
Those of you who just entered the 2023 Cherrywood Challenge with your Monarch butterfly quilts will be able to appreciate Paradise Valley, a stunning piece of art from Kumiko Frydl which won Third Place - Miniature Quilts (Sponsored by Quilters Select by Alex Anderson and RNK Distributing) at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah
2023.
The difference between the Cherrywood Challenge quilts and Kumiko's is that Kumiko's is a wholecloth quilt created from a single piece of fabric. She used the following techniques to create her work: Hand Embroidery, Painting, Shadowed Trapunto, Threadpainting, and Machine Embellishing and Quilting. Take a look at the close ups to see Kumiko's intricate work.
Want to see more of Kumiko's amazing miniature quilt work? See some right here at The Quilt Show, and learn from her too, by watching her in How to Do Shadow Trapunto and Micro Stippling with Kumiko Frydl | How to Enhance Quilting Stencils with Alex Anderson.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: When Teaching Inspires Us

"Oman-Niche" by Sue Nickels
After being a part of her Paradigm quilt group for a while,
Sue felt she was comfortable enough to start stepping outside of the box a little bit with her quilt ideas. One such idea was born from her travels as a teacher. Having traveled to Dubai to teach, Sue took a side trip to Oman where she visited the grand mosque. Taking beautiful photos of the niches around there, her Oman-Niche quilt was inspired by one of those pictures. The ruler work done on the quilt was the straight-line quilting, but Sue really thrived in interpreting the open space with intricate free-motion and machine quilting.
