Featured Quilt - Best Wall Quilt at AQS QuiltWeek - Daytona Beach 2025 and First Place Wall Quilts – Fiber Art/Mixed Media at AQS QuiltWeek – Branson 2025
What's better than one award? TWO awards! Which is something Kestrel Michaud probably keeps hearing over and over again as her quilts keep winning award after award, often for the same quilt. Such is the case for The One That Got Away, which just took home the aforementioned two awards, winning Best Wall Quilt at AQS QuiltWeek - Daytona Beach 2025 and First Place - Wall Quilts – Fiber Art/Mixed Media at AQS QuiltWeek – Branson 2025.
This amazing quilt continues a consistent theme in Kestrel's quilts of both fantasy and fun coming together in unexpected ways to create something out of this world. Here's the story of The One That Got Away: "Only two guys with more muscles than brains would think it's a good idea to strap a steam-powered, propeller-driven flying machine on the back of a dog, but every society has its idiots. At least in this one, Lucky is having the time of his life! (And he makes it safely back to ground, despite his not-too-bright owners.)"
After taking an appreciation of the quilt and viewing all of its 2094 individual fabric pieces in detail, learn more about it by watching Kestrel's show here at TQS, A Mod Podge Appliqué Technique and Fabric Selection with Kestrel Michaud | Embroidery Hoop Quilting with Sarah Vedeler, where she debuted the quilt for the first time.
And if you want to have even more fun with this quilt, try and complete a puzzle of it and see how quickly you can finish it. |

The Quilt Show Puzzle: When Geese Become Carrots
|
|
|
|
|

"Flying Carrots" by Ann Feitelson
Inspired by her very first quilt that she created in the early 1970s, which was also a flying geese quilt, Flying Carrots takes the flying geese block down to Earth and in the soil. Ann has two themes she revisits in her quilts, food and the cosmos. The food quilts tend to be more focused and intimate, while the cosmic quilts are big, vast, and abstract. After finishing a cosmic quilt, she felt she had to make something more down to Earth, and what's more down to Earth than carrots? Coming full circle with her first flying geese quilt, Ann felt it was an appropriate time to revisit that design aesthetic and create flying geese that are actually "flying carrots".

It Doesn't Hurt to Look "Back"
Whether you are talking about quilt "backs', which Alex helped explain the importance of in our latest show, or "back" as in the past, it's okay to look "back" and reflect on the things that have come before. Why, by exploring any of the over 450 past episodes of The Quilt Show you may discover an aspect of quilting that could become your next favorite thing. So maybe the best way to move forward and take that next step in your quilting journey is by taking a step back. |
