Featured Quilt - Outstanding Machine Quilting Frame at Road to California 2026
East Meets West by Molly Hamilton-McNally with Yange Gong won Outstanding Machine Quilting Frame (Sponsored by Janome) at Road to California 2026. Last year, Molly and Yange's quilt took home First Place - Balanced Piecing and Appliqué (Sponsord by BERNINA) at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2025.
The quilt takes two artists' approach to design and blends them together into one unique and special work of art, as explained in their artist statement. "This quilt has an interesting and unusual background. It’s a unique collaboration and combination of the skills of two women, a Chinese student and her Chinese-American teacher. It shows the meeting of the East and West by incorporating the two traditional methods of paper piecing, the Western technique at the center of the quilt, and hand appliqué for the Eastern surrounding designs. The entire quilt is made of silk. Art unites the world." |

"One Step at a Time" by Lisa Walton
Based on a prompt of 'time', Lisa took a photo of a stairway in Edinburgh, Scotland and the first thing she thought of when she saw the worn steps, was how many thousands of feet had walked up and down those steps over time. From that thought and photo, she created this quilt, One Step at a Time.
