SAQA Ohio Member Beth Schillig Wins AQS Contest
Beth Schillig (Columbus, Ohio) was a winner in the recent Mystery Quilt Contest sponsored by the American Quilt Society. The contest began in the September 2010 issue of American Quilter Magazine and started with 7-8" square focus blocks. Beth used a picture of a sunrise over Lake Erie in Marblehead, Ohio and ran it through the Kaleidoscope Kreator Program. She used batiks from her stash, followed the remaining instructions in future magazine issues, and created, " A MORNING IN MARBLEHEAD." You can view this beautiful quilt in the May issue of American Quilter Magazine, or on their blog at http://americanquiltermagazine.blogspot.com/ then scroll down to the March 14, 2011 post, or view closeups on Beth's website, www.bethschillig.com.
