Celia

The Nature Quilt

Member: Lois Beach

"The nature quilt is the result of experimenting with stencils and paint. Our small group worked with the medium for several hours, We then divided the results between us with the challenge of creating a 36 X 36 inch quilt. I added the funky squares to complete the challenge."

Eco Scraps

Member: Lois Beach

"A couple of years ago I made a pineapple quilt. I had so many usable scraps left that I put them in a box for future use. I decided it was time to use them. Eco Scraps is the result. i used every bit of the scraps and only had to add fabric for the border, binding, and back. Quite a feat."

Endangered Beauties


"Giraffes are an endangered species, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting, There are fewer than 100,000 in the wild today. I bought the giraffe batik in West Africa over 30 years ago and recently rediscovered it in a trunk in my basement. The border is made up of different pieces of factory-produced Kente cloth from Ghana."

Fade In, Fade Out

Member: Martha Bush

"I worked on this quilt off and on for almost three years. English paper piecing is a great pick-up-and-go technique. Some of these hexagons were done on airplanes, about 25 of them were sewn together on a month’s stay in Singapore, and the rest sat in a basket by my sewing chair waiting their turn. "

The Bug Zoo

Member: Martha Bush

"When my son was small, he loved visiting the Insect Zoo at the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum. There he could watch the employees feed the tarantula (live crickets!), pet a giant cockroach, watch the bees fly in and out of the hive, and observe many other insects in their cages. It’s no surprise that he grew up to be a scientist."
