(Note: I made an omission and then an addition in my list below. My apologies. I am still in Anchorage where my brother is critically ill, and my time and laptop are both challenging me! But I had to get the auction news in with 5 of our quilters included this month!!!)
Our featured quilters and their quilts are:

Jude Edling: I met Jude through facebook and she's been a wonderful addition to our group. Her first auction quilt is now up for bidding:

Sujata Shah, one of our liberated web ring members as well as a 'Rebel' quilter, she creates her own root connections with fabric and thread and presents for auction:

Our Liberated, as well as 'Unruly' quilter, Heidi Burkhardt, from Ispringen, Germany, has not only shared her own process of creating this quilt with other members of the group but asked their opinions. Everyone loved the addition of the circles to the other quilting as a fun and quirky element.

Our lovely liberated quilter from Canada, Brenda Suderman loves to combine scraps and strings into her own donation creations and this one is now for sale by bidding at our July auction:

The talented Mary Johnson listened to my constant urging ;) and moved from fun family exchange postcards to quilts for AAQI! Here is her first auction quilt donation:
