 Homage to Linda Le Kinff by Marcy George  Original Artwork by Linda Le Kinff Marcy George loved this original painting by artist Linda Le Kinff. The painting is owned by her cousin. She wanted to pay homage with her own art quilt. She found that the Navajo Gradient provided all of the colors that she needed aside from the skin and black patches.

Sunrise Watch by Mirian Ahladas, 27" x 37" This week's inspiration comes from quilt artist and painter, Miriam Ahladas. She used the Red Sunset and Barrier Island gradients in her piece. From Miriam: "The quilt was inspired by a beautiful purple and pink sunrise after an early morning shower. The sun warmed a new day as undulating wheat danced and sparkled in the field at the edge of my yard. I stood in awe of our life-sustaining earth. The colors of the fabrics and embellishments represent fire, earth, and water. Feathers represent birds soaring on wind currents. My Norwegian roots and a recent study of the Saami, the indigenous reindeer herders of the North, inspired most of the quilting."

Barrier Island Gradient  Red Sunset Gradient  The Ancient One by Patricia Caldwell Our inspiration this week comes from Patricia Caldwell. The Ancient One is 32.5 x 36" and made with a Crystal fabric for the background. The tree is made separately with hand dyed fabric, tulle and hand dyed yarns on batting. Once complete it was appliqued to the background. It's finished with more hand dyed yarns, lots of quilting and beads of Red Creek Jasper and Petoskey Stones.

Kimber's Custom Constellation Dream Catcher by Savannah Tuten How's this for something different? I was so happy to receive these photos from Savannah Tuten of Cactus Flower Creations.

One week later he had made this quilt using the Morning Glory Gradient with Black! I've been hoping someone would do a bargello with a gradient so I was thrilled to see this piece. Now it's definitely going on my own "to do" list.  For sharing, John received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!
