Employee Quilt Show: HYBRIDIZING CLAMS. 60” x 71”. Pieced by: Carol Rising. Quilted by: Bobbi Lucero, Edgewater Quilting
Pattern: Glam Clam Quilt by Latifa Saafir; hybrid clam template designed by artist
“For this clamshell quilt, I chose vibrant Kaffe Fassett fabrics for 12” clamshells using Latifa Saafir’s template. As I proceeded with the design, I wondered if I could make a “hybrid” clam, inserting four 6” clams in a single 12” clam shape. For the hybrids, I combined fabrics that I could imagine would result from the hybridization of two 12” clams.”
Employee Quilt Show: GYPSY WIFE. 54”x 64”. Pieced and quilted by: Toni Getz. Pattern: Jen Kingwell, Gypsy Wife, Jen Kingwell Designs, JKD-5026, 2014
“Many of us have been enticed to make this beautiful, somewhat difficult quilt. I love Gypsy Wife’s complicated, unruled wildness, and believe the quilt loses something if the fabrics coordinate too much. There is joy in her scrappiness and unusual layout. The following piece of folk lore was told by Chra Newtron on The Quilt Show.com website of possibly why this quilt’s pattern is named ‘Gypsy Wife’. ‘A Gypsy woman will often braid her hair and hide cash in the braids. When she passes, the braids are cut off and given to the oldest daughter.’ So, the strips are her braids and the blocks are trinkets or coins of value.”
Employee Quilt Show: RADIANT STAR. 83” x 101”. Pieced by: Judy Botsford. Quilted by: Danyella Nava. Pattern: Eleanor Burns, Radiant Star Quilts, Quilt in a Day, 2011
“I have always wanted to make a Lone Star quilt, and wanted Grace to help me pick out the colors before she retired. With all of her help, I’m pleased with the way it turned out. The center turned out very flat, which was a nice surprise.”
Employee Quilt Show: EVE’S RETIREMENT QUILT, 62” x 76”. Pieced by: The Quilt Works family. Quilted by: Kathy Congable. Pattern: Original
