A Winter View A Winter View
By: Debbie,

I loved the striking graphic effect of this pattern from Quilter’s World 2009. The cardinal is my symbol of hope, so this pattern called to me. It reminds me of the view from my kitchen window in winter. I rarely follow a given pattern, but I only added a couple of extra cardinals.

After the Harvest After the Harvest
By: Lisa Quintana,

A common sight in the midwest after the corn is harvested is the western wind blowing across the fields of stubble. In Michigan, where I grew up, it wasn’t until late December that more substantial snow came. Here in SW Ohio, the stubble rarely holds much snow at all.,just bleak, frozen ground.

    Stark Winter Trees represent this month’s theme IMHO

    Recently I’ve developed an obsession with gradated fabric where one color goes from light to dark or where the colors change from warm to cool. These are great for borders and to give movement over the quilt surface. Vicki’s hand dyes have wonderful gradations and I’m glad to have a chance to win some.
