Featured Quilt - Best in Show at QuiltCon 2025
Dignity by Veruschka Zarate won Best in Show at QuiltCon 2025 this week. This amazing quilt is based on a statue of the same name created by DC Lamphere. Not one to settle for just one spectacular quilt, Veruschka recreated the back of the statue and made it the BACK of this quilt. Take a look at this stunning quilt, both from the front and the back, with many close-up and detail shots to truly explore Veruschka's great work.
Here's a little bit more from Veruschka explaining her quilt. "This 360, double-sided, FPP, Quilt of DC Lamphere's "Dignity" Statue, is a tribute to the fortitude of Indigenous Peoples of this land. "Dignity" stands as a sentinel, urging us with outstretched hands, wrapped in the powerful symbolism of a lone star quilt, to engage with each other and the world around us with respect, unity and honor. "Dignity" stands as a reminder of our responsibility to each other and to the land we call home." Congratulations Veruschka!

A Trip Through History Starting With A Needle
From the National Quilt Museum: "For more than 50 years, Mr. Mallard has chronicled world events through his vibrant and intricately detailed thread collages.

He has been profiled in Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine, Linda LaPinta’s book Kentucky Quilts and Quiltmakers, Three Centuries of Creativity, Community, and Commerce, inducted in the Mc Comb Mississippi Wall of Fame, and was honored with the ArtsReach “Living the Vision” Award. Joe’s feature quilts include his Obama Tie Quilt, which chronicles the first four years of the Obama administration and an embroidered denim jacket he presented to former President Jimmy Carter, which highlights key events of his political life."
