Featured Quilt - 2nd Place Innovative at PIQF XXX

Free Wheeling by Claudia C Myers won Second Place - Innovative at PIQF XXX and is an original design she created using a hybrid combination of paper piecing and appliqué construction. Claudia writes, "It is a three-dimensional 'fool the eye' depiction of static, moving and broken wheels." Originally created and accepted into another exhibit that was cut short by Covid, she says Free Wheeling became homebound, like the rest of us.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: What Type of Plant Is This?

"Guzmania" by Sue Heinz

This beautiful Guzmania quilt is from a pattern by Kara Schorstein Peterson of Seams & Dreams. We had to look up what type of plant a Guzmania is and discovered it is an exotic flower (a Bromeliad) that can be found in many colors. This one, by Sue, is quite striking.
