I am sending you a quick newsletter from Quilt Festival in Houston, after an exciting evening at the Awards Ceremony.
Sherry Reynolds won the top prize tonight with her amazing pieced quilt “Eternal Beauty”.
eQuilter sponsored the new Animal Kingdom category. Sophie and I were pleased to give the 1st prize to Esther Tronchoni Simo from Spain, for her quilt “Jewel Beetle”.
Here is an animal-themed quilt that I love from the exhibit, by Natalie Mosher. It is called “Two Socks” and is made with Aboriginal prints from Australia. (Image above is set in a collage with some of our current Australian fabrics.)
Congratulations to all the winners, and to all the quilters whose work was juried into this year’s exhibit here in Houston!
If you are coming to the show, be sure to check out eQuilter’s exhibit “Love Your Mother” which features quilts made from our digital panel of Mother Earth. It is on Main Street (the main aisle through the exhibit area) about halfway down on the back side. You’ll see our rainbow logo on this exhibit, and the Animal Kingdom category.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
