 Clergy Stole by Lauren Furey, 6" x 49" Our inspiration this week comes from Lauren Furey. Lauren has shared her beautiful bespoke stoles with us before. This was a commissioned clergy stole that they desired spring greens for the background and a highlight of the Kousa Dogwood tree in the front yard of the church. She used the Endive and Color Wheel Green Shades Packs for the Spring vibe of this stole. Check out more photos below. For sharing, Lauren 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.

Lap quilt by Teresa Ballard This week's inspiration comes from Teresa Ballard. I love all of the colorful birds in this quilt! She says that all of the birds and backgrounds are from my fabrics. The background is a discontinued gradient called Sea and Sky. It was replaced with Midnight. These birds show the variety of colors that you get from gradients. They are great for fussy cutting for specific effects like the wings of these birds.

Power of 3 by Karen Dever, 15" x 18" Quilt Appraiser Karen Dever participated in her guild challenge this year, Power of 3. The challenge was to make a quilt with only 3 elements. Her inspiration was a beach photo taken at Ocean City, NJ. She used the Blue Sky gradient for her sky.

Atmospheric Refraction by Patricia Caldwell, 33.5" x 33.5" A few months ago I mis-dyed the On The Horizon gradient by putting one of the colors in the wrong position in the dyeing order. It was still a pretty gradient but it wasn't On The Horizon. I called it Not On the Horizon, put in in Clearance and it was sold out in no time. Patricia Caldwell is one of the people who grabbed a piece of it and this quilt is the beautiful result.
She said that she decided to not think and just cut and sew and cut and sew. She then cut those pieces into two circles and then did the same for the background. Adding the border and sashing with the same gradient. This entire piece is from one gradient! For sharing, Patricia received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!

Becky is in our quilt club and she and another member taught me to applique.

Becky used fabrics from Cranberry and Forest Shades Packs for her background and lots of Gradients and Stash Packs for the applique elements.

 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!
