Featured Quilt - Houston 2021 Master Award For Innovative Artistry
Just Thinking by Jill Kerttula won The Janome Master Award For Innovative Artistry at Houston 2021. This quilt was Jill's reflection on the past year and how it affected her and the world at large. “During 2020 we did a lot of this; just sitting and thinking. About the political world, our home and family, the creative world, and our health. This piece started as a self portrait printed on fabric. Additional fabrics were then appliquéd, layered, and woven into and onto the portrait. Texture was added with stitch, and painting helped to merge the fabrics with the photograph so they melded together.”
Lisa wanted to share her appreciation for being on the show, but also wanted to let you know how much fun it is too. "Thanks for inviting me to be a guest on the show. It was an honor and so much fun sharing my quilts with Alex, Ricky, the whole crew, and now our quilting community." - Lisa Ellis

Missie's quilt, Pennies in My Garden, uses the penny shape typical of antique quilts. This was one of the first of Missie's quilts that caught everyone's attention with its mix of the wool and cotton fabrics.
