"Quilted Memories: Creating a Quilted Journal ” By Lisa Corson
Years of making art quilts prepared Lisa Corson for a Journal Quilt challenge, for she was used to telling stories with fibers and fabric. Inspired by her love of story telling and a collection of vintage photographs, Lisa created these amazing quilted journal pages with photo transfers and fabric pictures, beads and found objects, well as machine- and hand-sewn details.
"Mia Storia Italiano: The History of My Italian Family " By Carol Heppner
Armed only with her family name, Carol Heppner was determined to uncover her ancestry. More than 15 years later, she uncovered a wealth of information. These genealogy boxes and accordion books are filled with documents and photos that chronicle more than 100 years of Carol’s family history.
"It's All Relative: Rubber-Stamped Memories " by Lori Larson
When called was upon by her employer to create a line of rubber stamps, Lori Larson decided to incorporate personal family photos. Using black-and-white copies of the images, along with word cutouts, a black marker and some tape, she designed a stamp line full of witty saying and fun images.
"Wearing My Grandparents on My Sleeve...(And Around My Neck): Heritage Jewelery " by Jill Marie Shulse
Jill Marie Shulse found a treasure trove of vintage photographs while digging through boxes of old junk in her parent’s attic. Instead of just framing them, or putting them into an album or book, she made beautiful heritage jewelry that incorporates the images of her grandparents.
