"I pieced this lap quilt on my Bernina L890 Overlocker using a Log Cabin pattern in the Eleanore Burns book a Quilt in a Day. The fabrics used in this quilt top are a by Kaffe Fasset. The quilt is backed in Cuddle. I love how Cuddle fabric creates a beautiful canvas for the quilting design, Ba Fa Boom by Urban Elementz."
Billie Veerkamp: Winner of "Everything Cuddle®"
"I designed this quilt on graph paper. I wanted to create a star with only the 4 colors of the sacred medicine wheel for a very special wise elder. I also wanted to incorporate circles with the same colors as a better representation of the medicine wheel. I chose the batik alloy background because it represented smoke swirling. I used Cardinal batik, canary cuddle3, snow cuddle3; black cuddle 3; white star embossed cuddle, alloy dc batik, natural dc batik for backing, quilters dream batting."
Terrie Fitterer: Honorable Mention
"This basic 6 in.² quilt has been created with upcycling blue jeans. No pattern was used at the time. The worn out blue jeans inspired me to create the quilt, because of the life still left in some of the material. Another inspiration was to use a new material to me, cuddle. I am so happy I did! What a warm, cuddly feeling. With the jean patches, being heavy already, batting was not used. This quilt was made with the flip and stitch method."
