Featured Quilt - A Strong Maternal Connection
Mothers & Daughters by Donna Blalock was featured in the Modern Traditionalism category at QuiltCon 2023. It is a tribute to her Mother and the first in a series by her that is inspired by the connections they, and all the mothers and daughters in her family, have shared.
She says, "Mothers & Daughters is the first quilt in my Love Letters to My Mother series that incorporates vintage linens (in pristine as well as stained and well-worn conditions), laces, and trims in a myriad of
different and non-traditional ways. This first quilt uses a traditional split rail fence block and layout and is overlaid with silk organza pattern pieces to represent and honor the tradition of making a baby's Christening gown from her mothers' wedding dress."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Wonder of Marbled Fabric

"Old Growth: Indigo" by Colleen Wise
All of the fabrics in Old Growth:
Indigo started out either black or white and Colleen transformed them into beautiful shades of indigo (hence the title) using her marbling process. For the center of the quilt, she used a Japanese technique known as Suminagashi marbling to create the circular effect radiating outward.
