Esterita Austin visited my local guild meeting last week and she was quite enjoyable. Her focus is on creating beautiful artistic landscapes and portraits working from photos. She gave a slide show presentation to our guild and brought along several pieces for us to see in person.

I don’t know which I liked better – listening to her presentation, or viewing her quilts. She was a very entertaining speaker and her quilts were some of the best I’ve ever seen. With her permission, here are a couple of photos of quilts she showed us at the meeting:

On the left is a quilt in progress using overlays to add a bit of sparkle.

On the right is “Stone Portal”. Isn’t it gorgeous? I simply had to by the pattern for that one!
