P#612    "Clowns On Parade"
Entered by: Cathy Wiggins
Macon, NC
Dimensions: Not submitted
Batting: Hobbs Wool and Quilter's Dream Poly
Thread:  Superior - Bottom Line, Highlight, and Rainbow
Quilters Statement:  My daughter, Olivia and I designed this quilt to bring joy and a smile to the viewer.  Each clown was pieced separately with each one receiving some sort of 3-D feature.  They were then placed in the parade allowing plenty of room for quilted hidden pictures.  Can you find a fairy, a tea pot, a dancing poodle, two carrots, a mouse on a ball, three butterflies, two bunches of bananas, a mermaid, a pair of kissing fish, a ribbon of roses, a flower basket, and a tea cup?  Also please note that each clown has a name.  Which is your favorite?  Are you smiling now?

Quilters Statement:  This is one of three fish quilts that I have made using templates from my Fantasy Fish pattern.  The fish are truly fantasy fish, because I sketched them from a laminated field guide, but mixed and matched body and fin shapes until I liked what I saw.  The quilt was inspired by the work of Susan Carlson, and an earlier fish quilt of mine.

U#705    "Imagine - Wagon to Dragon"
Entered, Pieced by: Bev Loper
Mt. Shasta CA
Quilter: Veronica Nurmi
Mt. Shasta, CA
Dimensions: 35" X 66"
Batting: Hobbs 80/20 Black
Thread:  Variety of Superior Threads including So Fine
Quilters Statement:  Imagination starts many journeys and adventures.  My dragon quilt's journey started with my garden wagon, which reminded me of a dragon.  It developed into a quilt and a story of a sad little wagon who transforms into a dragon and has his own adventures.  This quilt's journey is not yet complete.  It will end at a children's hospital.  Children can "Imagine - Wagon to Dragon" and enjoy their own adventures and journeys of imagination.  Veronica Nurmi selected the quilting designs and machine quilted this  to compliment the piece using a variety of Superior Threads in the quilting.  Veronica used a Juki sit-down home model sewing machine.  She used Hobbs 80/20 black batting.

U#701    "Graffiti Quilt"
Entered by: Melody Burchyski
Beavercreek, OR
Dimensions: 48" X 105"
Batting: Midnight Black Dream Poly
Thread:  Many shades of Superior Variegated
Quilters Statement:  For the past 5 years I have been saving the triangles trimmed from squares and when making quilt binding.  I used hundreds of those triangles to create the graffiti word.  Graffiti is one of the oldest forms of mass communication.  Twitter is the newest form of mass communication and recently twitter played a pivotal part in the elections in Iran.  This quilt captures this moment in time, as twitter immerges as the newest form of mass communication.

Batting: Hobbs 80/20

Entered by: Cory Allender
Cory's Quiltworks
St. George, UT
Dimensions: 30" X 34"
Batting: One layer Bamboo silk
Thread:  Superior  - Metallic & Bottom Line
Quilters Statement:  For their annual quilt challenge my guild gave out one fat quarter of an ugly fabric that I fell in love with.  I came up with a design based on curved piecing & then found out I had one month less to complete it than I thought I had.  Having just acquired Lynn Edward's Cathedral Window Quilts, I decided on a Plan B.  I added the narrow border so I could quilt it to death.  The tools used are Renae's Amazing Rays & Linda Mae Diny's 6" Rays.
