This month, we’re excited to share with members two new QSOS interviews with quiltmakers that inspire us: mother-daughter quiltmakers Cathy Fussell and Coulter Fussell. Cathy’s work is inspired by landscape, literature, and the American South. Coulter’s work uses donated and vintage textiles from her north Mississippi community. We’ll share a few excerpts from their recent QSOS interviews, and then Cathy and Coulter will join us as we open the floor for questions. Join today to attend this conversation about quilts, family, artmaking, tradition (or breaking with tradition!) and the places that inspire us.

Blue Muse by Sondra Millard This month’s puzzle spotlights a quilt titled Blue Muse made by Sondra Millard of Wichita, Kansas for the 2016 Quilt Alliance contest and auction, Playing Favorites. Materials and processes: All cotton quilting fabrics, broderie perse, machine applique and quilting on a sit-down domestic machine. Artist’s Statement Blue Muse honors my favorite quilt artist-Danny Amazonas, fabrics- Kaffe Fassett Collective, subject-Jane Sassaman’s garden art statue Blue Muse and technique-broderie perse. I designed the binding as an homage to Yvonne Porcella, my favorite teacher. I wanted my subject to convey the mysterious process of where ideas come from and how they can take on a life of their own. My quilting choice represents ideas flowing out from our muses with the outline quilting giving definition to the flowers in the gardens our our imaginations.
