Tasha Owen 

As a professional photographer, I merge my passion for images with quilting—digitally painting photos and printing them on fabric. This process brings freedom and reminds me of the joy of discovery. Tashaowenquilts.com

The PNW inspires my quilt art with its natural beauty. Using only fabric, thread, and occasional texture, I transform my photos into quilts through collage, appliqué, thread painting, and free-motion quilting. Artquiltsbysuzanne.com

Kristine Herman

Come walk the line! Using obvious lines—curved, straight, vertical, diagonal—I celebrate the forms of plants and people. Inspired by Kandinsky, my work invites energy, rest, and joy as lines fall in pleasant places.

Gabrielle McIntosh

Known for bold, abstract, and colorful compositions in textile form. Her work often uses strong geometric forms and layered stitching to create movement and texture. Gabrielle McIntosh is a featured artist with Studio Art Quilt Associates 

Janet Darcher
