UGH by Earamichia Brown This month’s puzzle spotlights a quilt titled UGH made by Earamichia Brown of New York City, NY (now Texas) for the 2017 Quilt Alliance contest and auction, Voices. Fabric and Misty Fuse, raw edge appliqué and machine quilted. Artist’s Statement The title is often said under my breath or in my head. It seems to be happening a lot more the older I get. The voice that comes out can be a frustrated “I Got This”. In this comic book setting, you can imagine the superwoman having to drop what she is doing to handle the emergency of the day. For the Quilt Alliance Voices theme, I chose this because lately I have been required to rush in and “handle” things. Ugh is a new favorite word… and I got this is a now overused phrase.

Stories by Sylvia Weir This month’s puzzle spotlights a quilt titled Stories made by Sylvia Weir of Beaumont, Texas for the 2012 Quilt Alliance contest and auction, Home Is Where the Quilt Is. Vintage machine pieced quilt top, applique and thread work, cottons/multitude of thread. Artist’s Statement There is a sort of quiet confidence and composure that exudes from those who have lived many years. Those eyes have seen sorrow and gladness, the hands have made meals and comforted those who wept. Home resides in each one of us and grows stronger with each passing year.

Grandmother’s Curtains by Star and Sophia Prim of Huntsville, Utah A combination of vintage, recycled and new cotton fabrics, wool felt, beads, hand applique, machine applique, hand-stitching, machine quilting. When my daughter was three and money was tight, I made her a simple dress out of some old vintage curtains. She loved it, and I loved seeing her in it, knowing that it cost nothing and I had given new life to something old. Looking out the window, you can see a little girl wearing her new spring dress made from the same fabric as grandma’s curtains. My New Sues by Kathy Guardia of Grottoes, Virginia Vintage feedsack fabric, my own handdyed fabrics with some commercial fabric – hand applique turned and raw edge – hand embroidery; machine quilted 20 years ago I found this treasure in the bottom of a cardboard box full of fabric purchased at an estate sale in Florida. A dingy plastic bag with one completed Sunbonnet Sue sewn on a stained dishtowel and about a dozen Sues cut out of vintage feed sack fabrics never finished. So I introduced the Vintage Sues to my hand dyed fabrics and a few commercial pieces to come up with My New Sues. Pink Basket 2010 by Mark Lipinski of Califon, New Jersey Vintage hand pieced basket block, ribbon and floss embellishment, completed with new fabrics. I found this vintage, hand-pieced, 1930’s pink basket block for $6 at an antique shop, The Rusty Rooster, during a teaching/lecture engagement for The Washington Stars Quilt Guild in Olympia, Washington in May 2010. Scheduled to lead a quilting retreat at the Thunder Bay Resort in Hillman, Michigan in June, I brought the block with me and with some support from my fellow retreaters (and in traditional quilt-making style), we managed to design and quilt this new block from the old.

We Are the Quilters by Cynthia St. Charles This month’s puzzle spotlights a quilt titled We Are the Quilters made by Cynthia St. Charles of Billings, Montana for the 2011 Quilt Alliance contest and auction, Alliances: People, Patterns, Passion. Machine pieced hand dyed cotton, commercial cotton, machine quilted, hand embroidered pearl cotton, handmade worry dolls. Artist’s Statement While contemplating the theme, “Alliances,” I imagined all the quilters in the world joining hands. I wondered how many times they would encircle the earth if they did. I thought, “what a happier, gentler world it would be if all the world’s quilters could join hand in solidarity”.
