Featured Quilt - Best Machine Quilting Framed, Needle Moves at
Quiltcon 2023
Almond Country Beauty by Rana Heredia won Best Machine Quilting Framed, Needle Moves at Quiltcon 2023. About the creation and design of the quilt, Rana has this to say: "This pattern was designed by me when I was the BOM chair for my local guild, Almond Country Quilt Guild. It was offered as a free pattern to the members, and has since transitioned into a commercial pattern. I have made this quilt numerous times, but this iteration, done in Kona solids, is definitely my favorite! The design was inspired by the work of Karen K. Stone. Machine quilted by Tiffany Barcus of Montana."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Magnificent Mosaic Quilt

"Blossomed" by Heidi Proffetty
Here's what Heidi had to say about her quilt
Blossomed when she first made it. "This quilt is based on a photograph I recently took of my daughter as I watch her grow and blossom into a beautiful young woman. I hand drew the mosaic design. It is raw edge, fused and then free motion stitched. There are over 4,000 tiny pieces that make up this quilt."
