\t\t\t\tLion King Cherrywood Challenge <\/a>sponsored by Cherrywood Fabrics.\"\"<\/a>\nCherrywood also produced a book about the exhibit, featuring each quilt and giving insights into each quilter\u2019s design ideas and methods for their contribution.\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\nDuring the show, Cherrywood held two book signings at their booth with some of the quilters whose quilts were featured in the exhibit and the book. It was a great opportunity for guests to meet these talented quilters and find out more about their work.\"\"<\/a>\nSandra Hankins from Lake Elsinore, California, created Simba. <\/em>She has seen the Lion King <\/em>musical 5 times!! \u201cIt is my favorite play by far,\u201d remarked Sandra. She chose Simba because he is her favorite character. \u201cHe had to learn hard lessons to become the Lion King.\u201d\"\"<\/a>\nWim-O-Weh <\/em>is the title of Tiffany Hayes\u2019 piece. Named after one of the songs in the play, Tiffany came up with the idea for her quilt when she heard and watched one of her favorite bands, The Fulcos, <\/em>play the song. Wim-O-Weh <\/em>is paper pieced. The design was inspired by her daughter\u2019s fianc\u00e9\u2019s tattoo artwork.\"\"<\/a>\nFrom Acton, California, Anna Koelewyn likes to do improvisational piecing that is very abstract. She felt that it was hard to choose a lion to represent, so she decided to focus on the feel of the land and the umbrella trees for her piece, Serengeti.\"\"<\/a><\/em>\nScar-Pretender of the Throne <\/em>is the first quilt Eileen Paine of Riverside, California has ever finished!! She has been making Hawaiian quilts with applique for five years before starting this project. Eileen decided to \u201cjump in with both feet\u201d and wanted to go to \u201cthe dark side\u201d of the play. The face of her \u201cScar\u201d is asymmetrical to give the illusion of how he was \u201cscarred.\u201d \u00a0\"\"<\/a>\n\u201cI loved the whole challenge,\u201d commented Rod Daniel who came from Placitas, New Mexico to talk about his quilt, Sunset Maiden. <\/em>The idea for his piece came from looking at African masks. Like Anna, he wanted to focus on something other than lions. And because he loves the skin tones of African-Americans, he went \u201ccrazy with color\u201d with his design.\"\"<\/a>\nThe next Cherrywood Challenge is Van Gogh\u2019s Starry Night.<\/em> Exhibit coordinator and Cherrywood Fabrics owner, Karla Overland, said that most of the fabric they brought to Road for this upcoming challenge was sold out so they are encouraged with the initial response.
