“I pieced this top many years ago, and never got around to quilting it. Then I traded an art quilt to Clem, in return for her quilting something, so I chose this. Months later, she posted it on Facebook. I saw it and thought, ‘Hmmm, I have a quilt like that. . .’ Then it dawned on me, that was MY quilt! Transformed by the quilting.”
Artist: Kate Ulmer
“I have visited a few National Parks and saw an ad on Facebook about paper pieced park blocks. Purchased a subscription and challenged myself to use my fabric stash to complete the blocks. Once pieced (majority of them are 4″x4″), I had to figure out a way to identify and lay them out. Signs were competed with the embroidery machine. They are laid out geographically. Hope to one day visit more of the parks.”

“I love the scrappy look of this Kim Diehl pattern, ‘Lunch Box Social’. Originally a wall hanging size, it was easy to enlarge it to a throw size quilt.”

“A quilt friend suggested we do this pattern together one star at a time. It was fun seeing the stars in completely different color palettes.”
