Digital images don't quite do justice to our members' One Foot Squares. Here are descriptions (alphabetical by artist) to help you see what the computer can't show you.

 The Swimmers #2
Mary Andrews
Pictures and text from an old photo album, transferred to fabric and embellished with cheese cloth, threads, and shells.
 Flutter
Leslie Coe
This piece is the first in a series of fluttering leaf pieces I am working on. Beads, fresh-water pearls, applied leaves that flutter loosely.
 Hibiscus & Ginger Still Life
Rebecca Douglas
A new bouquet gathered and captured in cloth. Raw-edge appliqué, cloth, paint, thread, free-motion quilted.
 Exuberance
Jamie Fingal
Bright, with fused appliqué with free-motion stitching.
 Woman of the Year
Bodil Gardner
Since all my contributions have been women, she must be this year's candidate.Various fabrics, satin – stitched and raw-edge appliqué.
 Do Small Things with Great Love
Linda Laird
The piece was made from bits and pieces from my stash for the 2008 Breaking Traditions exhibit “With One Voice”. I enjoy the serendipity that results from never throwing anything away?
 Rooted XI
Kristin La Flamme
This homage to home is made of hand-dyed cotton and velvet. Hand and machine stitched. The house is stamped and embellished with a small fabric and bead bundle of love.
 A Chat with Rain
Alison Muir
Don’t think my chat helped but the rains came on the family farm outside Gilgandra over the Christmas period 2009. Blue/green hand-dyed cotton, hand-stitched.
 Sunrise – Sunset
Casey Puetz
The simplicity of Asian design in both color and line challenged me to geometrically reference a representational beginning and ending of a sun filled day. Rich colors, batik sky, glass beads.
 Little Sunflower
Patricia Tiffany Schumacher
This is the last in my series of sunflowers. Quilt features bold sunflowers with large gold and black glass beads in the center.
 Where I Come From
Linda Sharp
This quilt represents “where I come from” on several levels. The target focuses on the Olduvai Gorge. The felted hemispheres represent the many places I have lived, and the stitches show the invisible currents that connect us all. Very 3 dimensional, copper and gold wire stitches, felt and beads are the “bubbles”.
 Untitled
Bonnie J. Smith
This untitled work is a continuation of a study I have created to control the viewer with color and design. High contrast fabrics appliquéd onto black background.
 Still LIfe, Pears
Kate Themel
Inspired by a photo of fresh pears, this still life is made entirely with fabric and thread. It’s densely quilted; the background flower wallpaper and countertop tiles were “drawn” with free motion quilt stitching.

Square Dance
Beryl Taylor
Hand-dyed cotton with multiple squares of silk in varying colors. Circular centerpieces of fabric-paper in each square embellished with hand stitching and beading.
