Looking at this wall-hanging that Kathy composed....makes one want to reach out and touch her artistic labor.....Wouldn't you agree? I believe she used some Sulky Threads in her quilting...which adds flashes of light; sparkle and glitter to the fabric she used...The piece is traveling in the Hoffman Show and will return after touring the USA and Canada sometime after Aug. 2010 This picture was the fabric to be used in this years entries...The rules were a recognizable amount of this fabric must be used in an entry, also must appear in the body of the quilt...Enlarge Kathy's quilt and see the different ways she utilized the fabric in her piece..I truly love it... Kathy, would you tell us what inspired the name of your quilt?...The Ol'Blogger

Kathy, incredible work. The photo shows it well, just as beautiful as seeing it in person. The Elder
The traditional name for this pattern is Square in a Square. If you draw an L and 7 overlapping it will form a square. When I was young and we all wanted to be hip, we would tell someone they were an "L7", indicating they were "square", not "hip". So began the name for this quilt...and since there are 75 squares, "L 7 to the 75th Power" seemed appropriate. I like to have a tongue in cheek approach to my project names.
See what we mean..how does her mind work...God gave her not only the gift of creating but also the ability to just pop things out of that "stupendous" mind of hers...We love her dearly...When Harold gets home to night I think I will call him L7...:0)
We are a group of women of different personalities and ages who blend together to make for an interesting and fun group. Our group is dedicated to creating art using various textiles and other mediums. Our interests include sewing, knitting, quilting, doll making, purse making, felting, beading, jewelry making, stained glass, glass blowing, glass fusing, mosaics, and altered books. We share our ideas and our time, to create items that are unusual, traditional and fun. Our fun meter is more important than our gas meter. We fill it at least once a month during our monthly meeting where we have show and tell to show projects we've completed, talk about new projects and share ideas. And the food!! As textile artists we are such lucky people. We find pleasure in simple things; the colors of hand-dyed fabrics, a spool of lustrous thread—we almost hyperventilate when we go through the door of a bead store! How fortunate we are to have passion to create and to achieve such satisfaction in what we do.
