Featured Quilt - Ricky Tims' Judge's Choice Award at Houston 2024
On Friday we showed you Lisa Ellis' choice to receive a Judge's Choice Award at the 2024 Houston International Quilt Festival. Today, we are featuring our very own Ricky Tims' pick for a Judge's Choice Award (Sponsored by Bohin France). He chose to give his award to Deanna Corrigan and her quilt, A Prairie Evening.
Deanna's quilt has a simple setup executed beautifully through her use of machine piecing, appliqué, embellishment, and quilting. She says, "A winter evening on the prairie - a magical landscape with snow-clad fields, an icy pond, and a dramatic sky!"

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Passionate Quilt from Pati
|
|
|
|
|

"Give Me Liberty" by Pati Fried
Give Me Liberty is a celebration of Pati's passion for Liberty Fabrics. As she was working on this quilt, Pati was gifted the 30-year-old stashes of two dear friends, Diana McClun and Darra Williamson. Brought to tears by the gesture, Pati of course then needed to name the quilt Give Me Liberty for its use of Liberty Fabrics from the stashes. To achieve the striated feeling of the background, Pati used the selvages of the fabrics she was using for the main quilt and adorned the top with a bursting flower design made with hand appliquéd petals that she says features every color under the sun. While very beautiful in its own right, Give Me Liberty serves a functional purpose as well, for it will be featured as the main attraction at the venue where her daughter will soon be getting married.
