Featured Quilt - An Icon Immortalized
In light of the recent passing of music legend Tina Turner, we want to highlight a wonderful wall quilt depicting her, also entitled Tina, by Laurie Ceesay Landree. Here is what Laurie had to say about her quilt:
"The quilt was made for Quilting Arts Magazine's Call to Entry about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009. It was in the magazine twice. I love Tina Turner because of her life story of survival,
her inspiration to women, her talent and her classiness. The quilt is small at 8 1/2" x 11". it is raw edged fused appliqué, machine quilted, and the first time I embellished with nail polish. I used it as highlights in her hair."

The 2017 Block Of the Month Remembered
|
|
|
TheQuiltShow.com Block of the Month for 2017 was The Halo Medallion quilt, the last design by the late Sue Garman. It had her signature design with
a central theme and wonderful blocks with movement and fun. The other thing we love about this style of BOM, is that you can start at the center and complete any block and be done. Did you do this BOM?

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Country Legend In Cloth

"Willie" by Mary Pal
Willie is Mary's portrait quilt, made
using cheesecloth of course, and was created in admiration of Willie Nelson. Mary says, "Adapted from a reference photo by Allen Matheson, this portrait celebrates the artistry of musician Willie Nelson. Allusions to lyrics of his most recognized songs permeate the very fabric of his shirt and the smoky background cheekily references his crusade to legalize cannabis."
