At the Atlanta Sewing and Quilting Expo, there was a fun exhibition of quilts inspired by the KONA color of the year from 2024…. JULEP!!
This challenge was done in the Bloomington Normal Modern Quilt Guild
I loved this color and equally enjoyed the quilts that it inspired…..

In this quilt, I love the different styles of quilting that she used….from Big Sttich hand quilting to tiny machine quilted lines!

One of my favorite things about quilting is motivating others and helping them in their quilting journey. As part of this endeavor, I LOVE to present programs and workshops to groups and guilds around the world. All of my programs work well with Zoom meetings, and I would love to speak to your group.

One of the exhibits at the Sewing and Quilting Expo was devoted to WATER…. clear, luscious water! Quilts were made by the SAQA Minnesota Region chapter.
…..
I love that she incorporated strings of beads to add sparkle to the water….
…..
Look at the way she used threadwork to add emphasis to the sun “beams”arcs”….
…..
This is a quilt dedicated to her husband, who loved to fly and to sail.
As you might guess, I love the quilting on this one, but look how she used sheer fabrics to create the dragonflies…
…..
…..
I have truly become enamored with these narrow, long quilts!!
…..
In this quilt, Jody is depicting how water acts as a pollinator, transporting pollen and seeds through motion and currents!
Come back tomorrow, and we will look at quilts inspired by the 2024 Kona Color of the Year!
