Auction: Top of Southern Gap quilt This quilt is up for auction as part of The Modern Quilt Guild’s Modern for Modern auction, October 1-15. Top of Southern Gap My quilt number is 33 and bidding starts at $100. My brother planned to build a new home in Buchanan County (our home place ) in the “Southern Gap” community. I researched and found the satellite view of the building lot. It is a reclaimed strip mines. I had just finished an Appliqué Piecing workshop with Shelia Frampton Cooper. And that’s how I made this quilt.

On the Blue Side of the Mountain On the Blue Side of the Mountain Finished in 2024 51” x 64” This quilt has a history. I have lots of hand-dyed indigo fabric. I learned this technique at Slow Stitching Retreat in Washington, Maine in 2017, hosted by A Gathering of Stitches, and taught by Kim Eichler-Messmer. That fall I hosted guild members at my home, and we dyed fabric. It’s nice to remember those times with those pieces. There are also a few remnants I received from Ana Conceicao, a guild member who works at UFab.

Queer history, pop culture and computers helped Iowa artist Ben Millett cover a gallery in quilts - Little Village Ben Millett’s quilts are tactile records, coded with color, memory and meaning. They look soft because they are, but their softness doesn’t dull their message. Instead, it amplifies it.  On […]
