Congratulations to all the winners at QuiltCon this weekend! We congratulate Audrey Esarey for winning the eQuilter Machine Quilting Award for her beautiful quilt ‘Raspberry Roulette’.

Special congratulations to Veruschka Zarate for her Best of Show award, for her quilt “Dignity”. We have always considered her a special talent, and we are happy to carry her patterns<\/a><\/strong>, including her award-winning Joan of Arc design.

If you have attended my power point lectures<\/a><\/strong>, you have probably seen an image of Veruschka’s large quilt which depicts the Dignity statue made by Dale Lamphere. I have included the image of her quilt top since she posted it on social media….a couple years ago?

This 50 foot high sculpture in South Dakota depicts a Lakota woman holding a star quilt. The star quilt held by the woman has more than 100 blue diamond shapes that move in the wind. You can read more about this on Wikipedia<\/a><\/strong>.

Early Monday morning I fly to Osaka, arriving Tuesday night in Kyoto. Thursday is the setup day. I am showing 12 of my art quilts. If you are coming to the event at the Mikyako Messe Conference Center, I will be in my artist gallery Fri Feb 28 to Sun March 2. Please make a note of my speaking times:

Friday 2 pm – 20 minute talk on the Artist Panel
Saturday – Artist Talk in my gallery at 10 am and 11 am.

I am planning for an Open Studio here at eQuilter on Sunday March 9, from 1-5 pm, before I send quilts back to their museum and exhibit venues March 10. If you are local, I hope you can come to see all 12 quilts before they are disbursed again. More info on that in upcoming emails.

sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
