Featured Quilter of the Month
--- Veloris Hipp ---
Bearly Quilting’s featured quilter of the month is Veloris Hipp. Veloris calls her quilt
“Salmon Run” which she designed herself. Veloris found the center medallion panel several years ago at a quilt shop. She added borders using fabric from her personal stash, but ran out of the mottled tan fabric. Luckily, she was able to find another yard to complete the borders. The partial mariner’s compasses were paper pieced as were the cornerstones, after which it was machine quilted on her Bernina sewing machine. Veloris said she did not like the way it was turning out originally, so she unsewed the quilting and put the project on a shelf. She picked the quilt up again in March of this year and completed the quilting…this time to her liking.
Veloris’ beautiful quilt will be on display at the shop through May. Come see and
admire this one-of-a-kind quilt the next time your in the store.
