 Today's inspiration comes from one of my local friends, Becky Brown. Becky is in our quilt club and she and another member taught me to applique. She is also a pattern tester for Barbara Brackman so you make recognize these blocks if you follow Barbara's historical QALs. Becky used fabrics from Cranberry and Forest Shades Packs for her background and lots of Gradients and Stash Packs for the applique elements. You can click on the photos below to see close up how she uses fussy cuts fabrics for special effects in her elements. For sharing, Becky received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months! If you have made anything with my hand dyed fabric I hope you will consider sharing it in the Customer Gallery. The only rule is that projects have to be complete. It doesn't have to be made totally from hand dyed fabric, just include a recognizable amount.

 Goddess Clergy Stole by Lauren Furey Funny story, the last "new" person that I met before the pandemic hit in full was Lauren Furey. We met at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival at the end of February last year.
Lauren is an award winning textile artist and for the last ten years or so have created primarily one of a kind clergy stoles. She ahs her own dedicated section in the Customer Gallery now where you can see a collection of her stoles. For Goddess she used a Denim Shades Pack. Notice that this one came with a coordinating mask. Brilliant! For sharing, Lauren received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!

The Snow Comes by Linda Baker I remember when Linda Baker ordered this fabric (Navajo Gradient) and told me what she was doing with it. I begged her to share it with us when it was done. This quilt was inspired by Game of Thrones. She machine embroidered the dragon, castle, trees and moon, and wolves. She thought of GOT the whole time. So the name evolved. Machine quilted be Kylee Freisen. Linda was kind enough to share a couple of close up photos too.   For sharing, Linda received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!

 Fishin' In The Dark by Jeannette Ringuette This week's inspiration comes from Jeannette Ringuette. She made this from a pattern by Carole Massard in Simple Moderne #17 magazine. It is for a quilt shop challenge entitled Name that Tune Quilt Show. Each entry had to be reminiscent of a song title or phrase from a song. She chose the song from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. She loved the blues for the background from a Moody Blues Stash Pack. It gave a watery movement and made the fish pop.
Moody Blues is sold out but there are new blues coming next week! For sharing, Jeannette received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!
