I am happy to announce that my quilt “’Woodland Secrets” won an award last night at the AQS show in Paducah KY!!!
I am doing the happy dance all over Paducah. In the booth - Laura and I are here at the show vending in booth 1905 - down the aisles and all around town. I wish you were all here to help me celebrate.!!
And just in case you are wondering; here are a few details about this quilt - it is made from my hand dyed fabrics, a cotton/silk blend for the border fabric, a cotton background fabric that was cut out using a wavy blade in my rotary cutter, and several different dyed silk charmeuse fabrics that were fused for the jack in the pulpits and the oak leaves. It has a pillow case finish and is (I think) 52” square.
The quilt was designed from one of my drawings that I have done over the years from “live” Jack in the Pulpits that I find growing in the little woods near my house. You know the woods where George and I walk.
If you are in Paducah for the quilt show be sure and stop by the booth and say hello. Fade to music and dancing…..
