I love to see text in art!


Some splendid  Bee Quilts! This is so perfectly modern - I love it!
...wonderful colors on this Bee Quilt:
...and two from "Around The World":
These make me look forward to another Bee!



The next is Linda Wolyniek's impeccable"Modern One" !

Also, a fine tribute to the Gees Bend Quilts is Linda's
 "Modern Two:"


This is "Ripples" by Elise Hendricks:

One of my faves was this "Paintbox" quilt by Stephanie Harrison - it seems the quintessential "modern" quilt!  Great job!

And Lea McDonnell's fabulous "Birds of Paradise"! 

as well as her lovely "Christmas Tree:"

They just keep on comin' with extraordinary skill and talent!  Below is Jane Fitzpatrick's incredible "Not Your Mother's Sampler" Quilt!  Kudos, Jane!



And her  "Tumbling Echo" quilt below!


Inspired by a box of tissues, Stephanie Harrison turned out this beautiful "Tissue Paper Petals" quilt:

Karen Leavett did a fine job on "Moonlit Sky!"

Alexis Deise' "Rails and Bars" simply shines!


And her "Flight" is inspiring!


Jen Boucher crafted a gorgeous "Dreaming In Color!"

Emily Blatt's August Intensity" is brilliant in it's simplicity and 
sophisticated use of color!

Andrea showed 2 of her great "dowry" quilts below:

And Aimee's "Double Hourglass" quilt - handsome colorway!

Rachel's  (above)
And Laurie's (below).
And Mel's loving "Father's Day Quilt with the cutest kids' pics:"

"Alice In Chains" starts off her display here,

followed by her acclaimed "Ghastlies" Quilt!

Since I really didn't get any good shots of the Challenge mini-quilts, take a jog over to see them here:

Here's a few other really cool mini-quilts:


Also, there are some great shots of some of these that are way better than I any I took:


Now, wasn't that fun!  Next year maybe you can go to it!

  1. Although I don't plan to get into quilting myself, Janis,I am oohing and aaghing over all the quilts you've posted. Will you be blogging on other art you do?? A subhead of your art interests under the Turtlemoon title might be helpful. You carve so well: why not replace the impressionist style garden scene--which is pretty--with a carving of a turtle and a moon?
    Cheers

  3. Those are good ideas Trish! I will be adding Printmaking and Collage to this blog. So many of us are multi-media artists! Turtle that I am, I just figured out how to change the comment feed so that I could reply to your comment!
