Here is a computer design of the quilt created on EQ6, an incredible software program that can do it all. The top is done and now waiting for it to be machine quilted. A friend of mine, Linda Trickey, helped with the design of this quilt. Our Fair Association had a block contest last year for contestants and I am now putting the blocks into a quilt top I designed. What better way to share your quilting talent than to create quilts to be used for raffles to raise funds for a non-profit organizations. I have been working on two raffle quilts these past two weeks.

Our trip to New York City was full of creative inspiration restoring our souls for many more masterpieces. We also saw the play, Impressionism with Jeremy Irons and Joan Allen, a mature intelligent love story. The play was a dark comedy with political metaphors that had each actor shining in their roles. It was Susan’s first Broadway appearance since 1972. Linda and I saw Susan Sarandon in Exit the King – incredible. A New York City trip would not be complete without a Broadway show or shows in my case. Thank you to my family for giving me a Christmas gift that created memories. Here are a few of my favorite quilts from the show. The Empire Quilt Guild’s show showed such diversity in their talent and entries.
Paula will be showing her work at the Museum of Folk Art in NY City starting in April. She has connections to the State of Maine as her brother lives here. Here is a photograph of the star struck fan with Paula. He r goal is to blend the seam lines in each unit so upon assembly of the block, the pieced seams will appear invisible and the contrast of the colors and texture of the fabric will dominate the block design. Her process involves looking at each unit and asking questions about the symmetry of each pieced component and the lines it will create in the pie shape before assembly – if up on one side, it will go down on the other. Each kaleidoscope block she makes is an unknown creation until it is fully assembled giving the same thrill with each turn of a kaleidoscope – the unknown and beauty of each design. Her lecture included information about her technique and process of her creations. Paula’s style is to capture in fabric what you would see in a kaleidoscope. My husband and daughter's Christmas gift to me was a trip to NY City to hear Paula Nadelstern, world-renowned quilter, speak and share her quilts and techniques. This past weekend a good friend and I took a trip to NY City to the Empire Quilt Guild Quilt Show. A trip to New York City vitalizes you but a trip to New York City for a quilt show is pure heaven.
