 Muddy Hollow by Sue Kelly, 23 x 27 Today's inspiration comes from Sue Kelly. She used the Woodlands Gradient as the background (and some of the leaves) of her art quilt. It perfectly captures one of her husband’s and her favorite hikes, Muddy Hollow Trail, at the Pt. Reyes National Seashore. She completed this for a Paths challenge in my art quilt group, just in time for their 48th wedding anniversary in August.

Birches and Berries by Rachel Derstine This week's inspiration comes from Rachel Derstine. She used the Paradise Gradient as the background for her birch trees.

Space by Patricia Caldwelll Patricia Caldwell is back again this week to give us out weekend inspiration. She made this small wholecloth quilt from a fat quarter of fabric that she won in one of my drawings! It has loads of heave hand stitching along with beads, paints and other embellishments. I imagine that it was very meditative to work on this quilt.

Amphibian Ascending by Irma Lubbe 21" x 43" This week's inspiration comes from Irma Lubbe. Irma has made several Jane Sassaman-inspired quilts and this is another beautiful one! She didn't want to run traditional quilting lines throughout, so she quilted with a decorative stitch that floats in the background. She like how Jane Sassaman's use of the zigzag stitch gives vibrance to the shapes.
Irma included Jenny Lake and Woodlands Gradient along with other fabrics from her stash. For sharing, Irma received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!
