This quilt is my love-letter to London."

Appliqué and Machine Embroidery Come Out to Play
When textile artist, teacher, and author Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo traveled to India as an economic development volunteer she had no idea that a trip for a few months would change her life and result in a stay of nine years.

"Dog Gone" by Vicki Conley
Vicki has begun to play around with apps on her iPad to create new designs for her quilts. However, she doesn't just print these digital designs on fabric and quilts them, she takes the time to figure out how to piece them out of fabric. So the dot pattern featured in Dog Gone of her dog Skunk was created using one such app which Vicki then figured out how to make using appliqué shapes that were cut out with a cutting machine.
