L E T T E R F R O M T H E P R E S I D E N T

Dear Members and Friends in Quilting,

For those of you who missed the big event, the International Quilt Festivalwas once again a fabulous production, and the fall IQA Judged Show, Quilts:A World of Beauty, was awesome. One has to wonder how artistic quilterscan come up with such incredible new feats of artistry and skill year afteryear. And I’m sure they will top themselves again in 2008.

IQA has a change to announce in one category of the Judged Show. Therewill no longer be a Two Person category. All quilts made by two people will

now be entered into the category which applies most to the quilt format/techniques used, i.e. if the quilt isa large traditional pieced effort, it will go into that category. If it is a painted surface quilt, it will go intothat category. Quilts made by two people and entered into the show may only be the result of a collabo-ration of two artists and may not be the result of work for hire. Please refer to the Judged Show rules forfurther definitions on entering a Two Person quilt.

There are also two new major awards in the works that will be in place for the 2008 Judged Show. One willbe sponsored by C & T Publishing. It will be called The Future of Quilting Award and will offer a $2,000prize going to the quilt the judges deem most meritorious made by a person 35 and under. This award willbe given in addition to any other award the quilt may have received. A new $7,500 Master Award tenta-tively titled The World of Beauty Award, will be sponsored by Handi Quilter. The IQA board is still workingon the specific definition for this award so look for updates soon.

Also, be sure to read the IQAAgenda in this issue for an important announcement concerningthe Judged Show rules and entry forms.

I would also like to remind you that there is very little competition in some of our categories, whichmeans the odds of winning prize money are wonderful. Innovative Appliqué, Small had very few entries.Innovative Appliqué, Large had slightly more. Both Innovative Pieced, Large and Innovative Pieced, Smallcould use more entries.

Please consider putting your talents and efforts toward quilts for these categories. The IQA board isobserving the numbers and may consider dropping one or more of these categories or combining some ifthere are not enough entries. This is something I would hate to see happen, because that would be thatmuch less prize money IQA would be giving out on behalf of our sponsors. So get those needles flying andsend in those entries!

Warm Regards,

Charlotte Warr Andersen

RAFFLE QUILT NEWSAt the annual meeting of IQA members,Raffle Quilt Chair John Flynn helped unveilthe 2008 quilt, Autumn in Indiana by PhilBeaver (pictured).

The 2007 quilt, Second Star from the Rightby Virginia Walton and Myrna Ficken, waswon by Kathy Lami of Huntsville, Alabama.Lami has only been quilting for three years,and this was her first trip to Festival.

“I had always wanted to go, and myneighbor of 18 years had just moved toHouston,” she explains a few weeks afterher win. “And I said ‘Honey, I’m comin’!’ Iwas like a kid in the candy store at thatshow.” She adds that she was most interes-ted in seeing “arty” quilts like those madeby Kaffe Fassett and Amy Butler, andbought two large empty bags to bring herstash home in. “I just had the best time atthe show!”

Lami bought a total of 25 raffle tickets, butwhen a friend noticed how full the tumblerwas on Saturday just before they left thebuilding, she told Lami there would be “nochance” she’d win the quilt. “I told her thatI certainly was going to win…and ithappened!” Lami laughs.

THANKS TO OUR NEWEST DONOR!Randall Hoover of Houston is the latestperson to become an IQA donor with agenerous contribution to the organization.

THE 2007 FALL IQA JUDGED SHOWThe Fairfield Master Award for Contemporary Artistry

Sponsored by Fairfield Processing Corporation

“I would like to thank Karey, Nancy, andtheir mothers for thinking of this wonderfulshow, for having the vision to carry it forth,and for turning it into an amazing venuewhere all kinds of people can get togetherevery year to share and celebrate quilts. Iwould also like to thank the sponsors, andall the hard-working staff and volunteers formaking this all happen year after year.

It has been a great honor that Hope for OurWorld has received Best of Show. As I sat infront of my quilt on Thursday and watchedthe people looking up at Archbishop Tutu, Irealized what a gift he is to our world. Manypeople had tears of emotion running downtheir cheeks. Maybe they felt the same hopethat the children in my dream felt.

Even though I dreamed this image in 2002, Iwasn’t able to even begin the drawings untilDesmond Tutu and I met in 2005. Duringour meeting, he asked me why I felt theneed to meet with him. It was only then thatI realized I was searching for his permission.He is a man who has spent his whole lifereaching out to people to bring this worldtogether. He not only speaks this messageof peace and reconciliation, but embodies it.

Making this quilt is like having DesmondTutu be there to speak and touch uspersonally. He can only be in one location ata time. But this quilt can be his voice as itechoes out to larger and larger audiences.Together with other quilts, Hope for OurWorld will be part of an exhibit that willtravel the world. Hopefully, it will be a

THE FOUNDERS AWARD ($7,500) Sponsored by International Quilt FestivalRENA I S S ANC E REV I VA L by Mariya Waters

“Thank you IQA, Karey, and Nancy for thiswonderful Festival. Thank you RJR Fabricsfor the sponsorship of this category. Springof Desire is a very special quilt. The bridalhandkerchief of my great, great, greatgrandmother, who married in 1829, was myinspiration. It was literally thrown at mewith the words ‘OK, now this is for you.’When I told my grandmother I was to marry,her one and only daughter, my aunt, neverliked old stuff. So my grandmother kept itfolded in a brown envelope in her desk.

When I opened it, it was a beautiful,delicately embroidered handkerchief, but sobrittle that I heard it falling apart when Iunfolded it. I was shocked when it was givento me, and never knew it existed. Verycarefully, I brought it home to have itframed to hang in our living room, where ithas been ever since.

Years went by, and in 1987 I entered thequilting world. Then one day, thehandkerchief caught my eye in a differentway. I was preparing a class about positiveand negative design elements. I recognizednegative space. Instantly, I realized thisfamily bridal handkerchief needed to berecreated in a quilt to honor my ancestorsand future generations as well.

I had a marvelous time working on this quiltand thoroughly enjoyed it. The peace andquiet time of handwork, the moments toreflect that I do exist. I breathe. What is thespring of my desire? When I almost finishedthe quilt, my parents gave me two familypictures: great-grandma with her fiancéeand great-grandma with my grandma asa baby.

“Thank you so much. It’s just an amazingthrill to be here from the other side of theworld to receive this award. I can’t tell youwhat it is. It’s so meaningful for me as aquilter to be in the company of all thesepeople. Thank you to IQA for yet anotherwonderful quilt show, and especially to allthe workers and volunteers. A personalthank you to Karey Bresenhan and NancyO’Bryant for the Founders Award. I am justextremely honored.

Also, a major thank you to my wonderfulhusband of 35 years, Gavin. Maybe now thatthis quilt is finished, you might not get somany burnt dinners. It’s his fault. Hesuggested we build the quilt studio close tothe kitchen. So I set things off to cook, andsay ‘I’ll just do this…’ and it just carries on.

When I became very bogged down in thework and was thinking I would not makethe deadline for the fourth year [since Istarted it], I couldn’t bear the idea that itwouldn’t make it into the show for the fifthyear, I asked for a quilt angel just to dothings. And suddenly, the laundry got done,and he learned to make a salad. I justwanted to say that maybe I shouldn’t havetold him that I finished the quilt.

I also need to say a big thank you to myfriendship group. Without friends in thequilting world, who would get us by in thereally tough times? I’ve got a wonderfulgroup of people around me, and my bestfriend happened to come to America withme. So it’s a privilege for me to be here withher as well.

“First of all, thank you to Charlotte, Karey,Nancy, and also to Fairfield for sponsoring thisaward. I actually used Fairfield batting for thisquilt. I also want to say what an incrediblehonor it is to be standing on this stage withsome of the people I admire the most.

I’m going to tell you a little story about twoof them and their involvement with FeatherStudy #30. In 1983, shortly after I disco-vered the whole wonderful subculture ofquilting, I went to Athens, Ohio, to seeQuilt National and I saw a quilt by MichaelJames named Aurora. Two weeks later,I took my very first five-day quiltingworkshop from Michael James at theUniversity of Wisconsin.

In 1983, the limited palette of availablefabrics left much to be desired. Michaelspent five days teaching us how to creategradations and shading with existing colors,and my life was changed forever. I begancreating my own colors after a dyeingworkshop, and using the gradations you’veseen in most of my work, including this quilt.

Fast-forward to 1992. A young woman in WestAfrica who was trying to teach herself to quiltsaw one of the quilts in which I had usedgradations on the cover of a magazine. Shewrote to me to ask for advice and then followedup with a phone call. She had never actuallytaken a quilting class, but she had a backgroundin art. So I advised her to take a workshop atthe Quilt Surface Design Symposium.


FAIRFIELD MASTER AWARD FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTISTRY($5,000) Sponsored by Fairfield Processing CorporationFEATHER STUD Y #30 by Caryl Bryer Fallert

“I first came to International Quilt Festivallast year. And as you can imagine, I had themost wonderful time. You all know how thatfeels. And I did many fantastic things thatweek. One of them was to attend the SilverStar Salute. And as I sat where most of youare sitting now, I looked up at this tablehere and wondered what it felt like to besitting there. Let me tell you: it feelsabsolutely fabulous.

You all look absolutely gorgeous, and it’sdifficult to do justice to the delicious food,because I’m a little bit nervous about this.The other thing I thought looking up at thetable is What do you say? They give youseveral weeks to think about it. On onelevel, that’s really great. But on the other, itgives you even more time to get nervous.

But what I want you to know is that as aquilter, I feel tremendously lucky that I amable to spend so much time doing somethingthat I enjoy so much. To be honest, there aretimes when I sit back and think I’m so luckyto be doing this. And in the big picture, it’snot so important. Perhaps I should be doingsomething like working with underprivilegedchildren or in a hospital or something likethat. But I do manage to get over thosethoughts and go back to the quilting!

I also want tothank all the sponsors, especially MaywoodStudio. And I deeply thank the judges forselecting my quilt for this prestigious award.I am extremely honored.

While I’ve been at the show, I’ve beensurprised by the number of people who’vesaid to me ‘You couldn’t have been quiltingthat long. You’re really lucky to have wonthis.’ But in fact, I have been quilting a longtime. I’ve been drawn to textiles since I canremember, joining the Embroiderers Guild ofAmerica when I was just a teenager. Duringthat time, I was collecting Quilter’sNewsletter Magazine. I knew I wanted tomake quilts.

I got lost one day when I moved into a newarea of New Jersey and stumbled into aquilting store. I was so amazed at the quiltsthat were on the wall, I wanted to sign upfor a class. But because I had so muchembroidery experience, I didn’t want tolearn how to use a sewing machine. Thewoman who owned the store told me ‘Don’tworry, we do everything by hand.’

“Out of the so many deserving quilts, it’sunbelievable to be standing here receivingthis award. The International QuiltAssociation is such a wonderful andextraordinary organization, promoting ourwork in their show. I would like to extendmy thanks to all the dedication and hardwork of the IQA Board, especially ourPresident, Charlotte Warr Andersen, for hercontributions in expanding our opportunitiesfor recognition.

I’d like to thank the judges. It’s difficult toexpress how meaningful it is to have yourwork selected by the noted experts in one’sfield. I would like to thank the sponsors—especially Superior Threads—for their verygenerous support that provides for suchsignificant recognition. I would also like to

convey my gratitude to IQA co-foundersKarey Bresenhan and Nancy O’Bryant fortheir devotion and dedication to quiltersthrough the years. And I’m also truly blessedto have the love and support of my familyand their continued faith in me when I’minclined to give up. I can’t express thatenough to my husband and daughters fortheir understanding and encouragement.

hollis chatelain continuedcatalyst to help people realize that we allcan do something to make changes in ourworld. Thank you very much.”

Artist’s Statement: “A dream thatArchbishop Tutu was standing in a fieldwith children from everywhere approachinghim like he was a Pied Piper seemed to bespeaking about world peace and ourchildren’s future. The quilt was finishedApril 16th, 2007, the day of the VirginiaTech massacre, and I sent an image of it tomy daughter. Her response was: “It makesme think that this piece is there to remindus that even when we wonder what thisworld is coming to, when we think thatthere can’t possibly be hope in a world withsuch tragedies, we are reminded of peoplelike Desmond Tutu...and we realize thatthere is still hope after all.” �

mariya waters continuedI have had the most wonderful timestanding by my quilt and watching theexpressions of people as they come aroundthe corner. They either stop in their tracks;their jaws drop; I’ve had people burst intotears; and then just come back time andtime again. It’s just been the mostwonderful experience for me.

The variety of quilts at this festival showsthat quiltmaking continually evolves. And Ithink the application of the Founders Awardto a quilt that has traditional roots but usesmodern techniques shows that this award isevolving as well. Since its invention, thesewing machine has always been animportant part of a woman’s life. I just owntwo— maybe I should get a few more. Lastweek, at the Smithsonian Museum, I saw amachine-embroidered quilt from the 1860’s,and a machine-appliquéd quilt from the1890’s. It was amazing and had turned edges.

My very first Festival was in 1994, and myfirst ever design class was a three-dayworkshop with Michael James. And heencouraged the students to keep it simple!Renaissance Revival may be the mostdifficult quilt I’ll ever make, with just aboutevery square inch decorated. All we did inMichael’s class is work in black and whiteand learn about negative space. I’ve yet tofind any on my quilt!

But I’m very mindful of the ‘K.I.S.S.’principle—Keep It Simple, Stupid—so inhonor of Michael on the reverse side Iembroidered the line drawing in its simplestform. It’s in gold thread, but it was simple.

At the 1998 IQA show, while I was anaspiring art quilt maker, I saw a quilt bySusan Danielson—a traditional featheredstar with trapunto and machine quilting. Itjust stopped me in my tracks. That quiltinspired me to change from contemporarywork to a more traditional style. I was justin awe of her workmanship, and decidedthat I wanted to be able to work withtraditional patterns with great precision.From that time on, I’ve worked very hard tomake my quilts with the best workmanshipI can achieve.

This week, I was approached by a youngquilter from Kuwait, who said that she’dbeen inspired by my quilt and feels that shewants to similarly improve her skills aswell. It was just an amazing feeling for me.The IQA show allows people from all overthe world to aspire to be finalists in thisshow. To all the finalists, I want to say thatI feel privileged to have my work hangingamongst yours. And to all the winners,congratulations. In time-honored words, wereap what we ‘sew.’ It’s been a wonderfulshow. Thank you!”

Artist’s Statement: “This quilt is theresult of studying 18th century Renaissance-style plaster and gilt ceiling panels ofItalian and Persian designs created forreception rooms for the nobility. Thebackground colors are matched to those ofthe era. It took approximately 17,000 hoursover 4 years to make this quilt.” �

ted storm continuedWhen I got home, I put both of thesepictures on the quilt and stood in awe. Thepictures blended completely into my quilt.Full circle. I found my spring of desire. Thisquilt is not made for my family only. I hopethat it will be enjoyed by many otherquilters as my way of saying ‘thank you’ tothe loving and sharing quilting world.”

Artist’s Statement: “The design wasinspired by my great-great-great-grandmother’s bridal handkerchief, whichwas passed down through the generations.She was married on April 16, 1829. Themonochromatic color scheme reflects theatmosphere of old family pictures. Whiteappliqué elements are lined with whitefabric, the background is crosshatch handquilted. This quilt was a pure joy to createand incorporates my love for family, friends,and quilting.” �

caryl bryer fallert continuedThe young woman signed up for my five-dayworkshop, and Michael James justhappened to be teaching in the room nextdoor that year. My student arrived for herfirst ever quilting class with a 60-inch by109-inch drawing under her arm andwanted to know how to sew it together.

I really would love to tell you that I taughtHollis Chatelain how to draw, but she’dbeen teaching it for many years. I justtaught her how to use her sewing machine,and I believe she got it. When Hollis movedback to the United States, it was mypleasure to help mentor her career as aprofessional quilt artist and teacher.

THE 2007 FALL IQA JUDGED SHOWJudge’s Choice–$250 each

Sponsored by Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting

caryl bryer fallert continuedAnd I’m thrilled this evening to be sittinghere with my star student, my protégé, myfriend, and the person who’s quilting Iadmire the most, Hollis.

So what does all of this have to do with myquilt Feather Study #30? Well two yearsago, Michael James and his graduateassistant invited 10 former teachers fromQSDS to be in a show called “Give andTake” at the International Quilt StudyCenter in Nebraska. Each teacher wasasked to make a new quilt for the showand then invited one of their former QSDSstudents to make one as well. I was in themiddle of a very complicated move at thetime, but couldn’t pass up the invitationfrom Michael. Naturally—or maybefoolishly—I invited Hollis to be my student.

I scheduled time on my calendar lastDecember and January to make my quilt,but when we came to Houston last year,Hollis had already made hers. It was TheGift, which was her First Place winningquilt in the show this year. As I beganworking on my design, I tried to createsomething worthy of hanging next to sucha beautiful and meaningful quilt.

On the day I began piecing the quilt in mid-December, my husband Bob died suddenly ofa brain hemorrhage, and normal life for mestopped very abruptly. The deadline for thequilt at the end of January took me back tomy studio in mid-January, and I found somepeace and serenity in the process of doingwhat we all love—selecting fabrics, stitchingthem together, and quilting.

I’d like to end with a quote from a famousartist found in one of my books many yearsago: ‘We all seem to be seeking some senseof order, some pattern, and rhythm in ourlives. A pieced quilt may be the closest someof us come to that kind of order.’ Theauthor? Michael James. Thank you for theinspiration, Michael—I salute you.”

Artist’s Statement: “The design for thisquilt grew from a series of sketches on thetheme of fantasy feathers. The design goesbeyond what would be found in a real bird,but still reflects patterns found in nature,both in birds and in plants.” �

philippa naylor continuedMy job has two very different aspects to it.There is the very private side where I justsit at home for a long time doing my work,which is an absolute delight to me. Theother part is being able to come out andteach and share my work with all of you.And without organizations like IQA, Iwould not be able to do that, and my lifewould be so much poorer for it. So I thinkthat having the opportunity to come hereand to share with you and take part in allof the wonderful things going on this weekis absolutely outstanding.

What I would like to say to you is that,for me, this has been a most amazingexperience. And I would like to thankeverybody here for giving us all theopportunity to share. To share time witheach other and all these exciting things andclasses and spend lots of money, and to seeall the beautiful quilts and go home havinghad the most fantastic experience.

I didn’t say this to my husband, but I saidto my quilting friends that this was betterthan my honeymoon! So what I would likeyou to know from me as a non-American isthat, as individuals, as organizations, andas a nation, your generosity and yourkindness and your ‘Welcome to our party,we are so pleased to have you here’ attitudeabsolutely knows no bounds. You have mademy week outstanding, and I thank you all,and I treasure it all. Thank you.”

Artist’s Statement: “Inspired by twotraditionally-pieced antique Lone Starquilts I saw at the International QuiltFestival in 2006. Bright hand dyes, curvedpiecing, and lots of free-motion quiltingmake a happy piece which was really funto make.” �

gloria hansen continuedSo I signed up for one of those six-weekclasses where I pieced and I quilted byhand. I actually pieced a Log Cabin quilt!So I had taken some more classes from her,and I started to grow a little restless, andshe picked up on it. She asked me what waswrong, and I told her that I’d taken somany embroidery classes, and when Ilooked around my house, I saw this person’sstyle and that person’s style. And I said toher I really wanted to have my own style,something that says ‘me.’

Well, she did one of the most importantthings. She said ‘Instead of finishing thisclass, I want you to go out and take everyclass on color and design and learn every-thing you can.’ And so I did and I went tomuseums and galleries, but they were allsort of disjointed pieces of a different puzzle.

And I took a class with Michael James inthe 1990’s that changed everything for me.All of those pieces came together and madesense. I was really jazzed by it. I haddrawings on paper and I also started usingmy computer, so I had my little black andwhite printouts.

Then my teacher told me about IQA and saidI should enter my work into it. The first timeI was accepted, I was thrilled. In 1994, I wona first place in innovative piecing, and wewere just absolutely over the moon about it.And here I am today and I’m amazed aboutthis award and that I’m sitting among somany talented quilters—actually, artists—here at the table and out in the audience,and I’m so humbled to be with you all.

Simple Strategies forScrap QuiltsBy Lynn Roddy Brown96 pp.Martingale & Co.$24.95

For those of us who have quiltedfor some years, we often forgetabout the “new to quilting” ladies(and, yes, men!). This book is aperfect one for a beginner. Brown

gives readers a system, whichshe herself uses for rating thepiecing intricacy of each quilt.

Beginners can use all squares orrectangles in straight sets; still-new quilters can work up toblocks and use the folded-cornertechnique; and intermediatequilters can include trianglespieced along the bias edges.

I promise you that each page willgive you new ideas and methodsfor color value, fabric choices,and placement. This book won’tsit on the shelf—it will be at yourelbow while you’re both piecingand cutting. And it will make youwant to share your scraps withquilting friends. �

Mother Earth and HerChildren: A Quilted Fairy TaleBy Sibylle von Olfers withillustrations from a quilt bySieglinde Schoen Smith32 pp.Breckling Press$17.95

This book has an amazing storyeven before you open to the firstpage. In 2006, quilter Smith wonthe That Patchwork Place Best ofShow Award for her quilt based

on the old German folk tale thatwas told in a 1906 children’sbook she had, using those illus-trations as artistic inspiration.Well, what goes around comesaround, because due to thequilt’s popularity, we have anew version of the story usingSmith’s quilt for the illustrations!

In the story, Mother Earth rousesher sleepy children, who make aprocession up from below ground(along with a procession of bugs

and beetles) to the ground abovewhere they bloom into theflowers of spring. I feel thatadults will enjoy this book asmuch as children. And be sureto take the outside cover off—just for a look at the complete,full-sized picture of the quilt.Suitable for framing! Treatyourself (and your childrenor grandchildren) to thiswonderful book. �

A special note to IQA members from Anita MurphyThanks to family, friends, and especially quilters who insisted that I get a second opinion on my diagno-sis of Alzheimer’s Disease. It turns out that I do not have it as I was originally told. It was only a slight,but normal memory loss for my 80-year-old brain. And I want to thank everyone in IQA for their love,caring, and—most importantly—prayers.

THE 2007 FALL IQA JUDGED SHOWThe Superior Threads Master Award for Thread Artistry

Sponsored by Superior Threads

gloria hansen continuedAnd I am so happy that I have a chance tothank Michael James, because without thefoundation that you gave me, I wouldn’t bestanding here today. Thank you.”

Artist’s Statement: “This quilt is acontinuation of a series in which I amexperimenting with repeating andprogressively diminishing squares andillusions of varying depths.” �

rita steffenson continuedI could never have imagined that quiltingwould become so important to me. I’dalways thought I had a clear path for mylife. But when I realized that it wasimportant for me to dedicate my time toraising my family instead of my career, itwasn’t long before I began looking forsomething to fill the creative void. Forsomeone who had never sewn before,quilting provided a multitude of challenges.But it was something to make progress on

day-by-day, unlike most chores, which startanew each day.

Now, I don’t have the patience not to quilt.And I need the challenge in that it allows meto express myself. The connections I feel tothe generations of quilters before me can bestbe summed up by this quote from the bookAnonymous Was a Woman by Mirra Bank.

This quote is attributed to [a womannamed] Jane of Kentucky, circa 1900.The quote is ‘I’ve been a hard worker allmy life. But most of my work has been thekind that perishes with the using. That’s adiscouraging thing about a woman’s work.But when one of my grandchildren or great-grandchildren sees one of these quilts, theywill think about Aunt Jane. And whereverI am then, I know I won’t be forgotten.’

My quilt, Uncertain Horizons, was directlyinspired by my personal response to eventsoccurring at the time. I felt compelled to

express those feelings through this creativeprocess as a statement, not to make aresolution. How will we negotiate theobstacles or barriers on our paths? Whatwill the future bring? What will it look likewhen we arrive? None of us knows whatour future will bring or the journey wewill make that will take us to the placewhere we land. I am really happy to haveshared my quilt with all of you and I amdelighted with this award I have received.Thank you.”

Artist’s Statement: “Will the future bringstormy weather, sunsets, or calm seas?What will a new day bring for those whoare taking flight to begin an unknownfuture? Those service members who mustdepart to fulfill their responsibilitiesanguish over the uncertainties facing theirloved ones and long to return home.” �
