Parrots by Judith Denherder Judith Denherder brings us this week's beautiful inspiration. It was inspired by Louis Comfort Tiffany's stained glass window titled "Hibiscus and Parrots". She used the Nightfall Gradient as the background for her applique. You can see it in person at the 2020 AQS Daytona Beach Show.

Nightfall Gradient  Disappearing Nine Patch by Jeannette Ringuette This week's inspiration comes from Jeanette Ringuette and started with 2 floral prints print from her stash. This is one that I feel we really collaborated on! Jeannette purchased a pack of Wild Black Cherry and 2 Stars (one yard cuts) but realized that she didn't have quite enough to make her large (101 x 109) quilt. She sent me snips of the florals and the 2 Stars. I knew that I couldn't exactly match the Stars because they aren't made from recipes but her pattern allowed for some leeway. I dyed 2 new fabrics that came close enough. The quilt turned out great!

Sundance Gradient  Women's Empowerment Minister's Stole Lauren Furey is a fiber artist who specializes in custom minister's stoles. This one is for a Unitarian Universalist minister in Syracuse, NY. The guidelines were intersectional feminist empowerment in pinks with texture and a flaming chalice (symbol of the UU faith). She chose women as trees because they are strong and bending. They are connected to each other through their roots and branches. The symbol for "woman" was turned into the flaming chalice. Materials include glass beads, Czech glass beads, Swarovski Crystals, high end batiks, Dupioni Silk, ceramic faces and hand dyed Shades packs in Sepia and Walnut for the flesh tones.

She made this quilt in response to a challenge. This challenge had to include three particular fabrics (#1- orange in swimmers trunks, # 2- shell fabric, #3- light blue speckled fabric near the top), include curved piecing, and also include a bobbin in some manner. The theme was Bobbin on the Beach. She won a scrap back from one of my drawings and included some of those fabrics in this really clever quilt.

The Eyes Have It by Margaret Griffiths Margaret Griffiths is back with another featured quilt this week. The Eyes Have It is made with some of my "waste fabrics" that she purchased from one of our local quilt club fund raisers. I bet this one took as long to face as it did to quilt!
