Jane Welch My inspiration was a simple vase outline. After watching a ZOOM workshop presentation of Grace J. Errea on using liquid thread which I am not sure I really liked, I thought I would also incorporate broderie perse. I also looking for bright colors. 21 inches by 25 inches...94 inches total Entry #5
June Pease The inspiration page for the challenge is Vintage Stars. I decided to go in the modern direction. I remembered saving a picture of a quilt that was five stars within one star. The pattern is “Five Stars” by Sam Hunter. I drafted the pattern to accommodate the challenge rules so ended up with “Four Stars”: measuring from largest to smallest-#1-24”, #2-12”, #3-6”, #4-3”. |

Deb Wyman I was inspired by the thread work on page 22! The quilter's design was so very pretty and delicate. I chose to also have my main element completed in only thread. (I used the thread painting skills obtained in one of the BMQG workshops.) I was inspired by the thread, but also by the subject. I have never created a bird before. I chose the blue jay because it has always been one of my favorite birds. When I was quite young, I remember painting a jay on velvet; such a strong memory. And so I created a jay out of thread, inspired by the hummingbirds out of thread. Entry #4
Jennifer Wright When I turned to page 52, I smiled when I saw a sailboat; I had my inspiration. My quilt is a tribute to my father, who passed away in 2017 after a short, but courageous, battle with mesothelioma. Like most young girls, my father was my hero. He instilled in me a love of God, country and family. Growing up, I was his shadow, and when he passed away, my world stood still for a very long time. Creating this quilt has been a wonderful and comforting journey. I challenged myself in every aspect from design to quilting, and the blocks I chose represent various aspects of our relationship.
