Featured Quilt - Second Place from the "New Quilts from an Old Favorite: Roaring Twenties" Competition
Twilight O'er the Chrysler Building by Susan Morgan won Second Place in the New Quilts from an Old Favorite: Roaring Twenties contest. The quilt, along with the others selected to be shown as part of the Roaring Twenties exhibit, is currently on display at The National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY. Here's what Susan had to say about her quilt, "An abstraction of evening falling over the iconic art deco Chrysler Building in New York City. All of the design elements in the quilt were inspired by actual design elements from the Chrysler building itself, mostly exterior details but also some from the interior elevators. The color palette (inspired by the 2022 Pantone Color of the Year) was chosen for its urban elegance, fitting for a night out of jazz and glamour." |

"Lumos" by Cindy Wiens
After taking the Radiant Star class from Tara Faughnan, Cindy had a beautiful star block but not idea what to do it. So she set it aside for the time being. During that time Cindy began making Engligh Paper Pieced Double Ruby Ring blocks that were designed by Michelle Bartholomew. As luck would have it, she had the Ring blocks and the Star Block up on her design wall at the same time and felt that they looked fantastic together. So Cindy went and made more of the English Paper Pieced blocks than she had planned on to fit her new design, and then added her own borders around the outside to finish the initial look of the quilt. It was named Lumos after the Harry Potter spell used to light up dark places, and was given to Dawn Haldeman to be quilted.
