Featured Quilt - Second Place Abstract at Houston 2024
Friends by Serena Brooks won Second Place - Abstract (Sponsored by Sew Steady) at Houston International Quilt Festival 2024. The quilt was created by Serena as a way to remember her friends from high school. She says, “Our high school friend group still looms large for me, both in real life and in my memories. Two have passed away, so they are depicted as slightly going off the quilt on either side. One was so consumed by smoke as a teenager that he is depicted merely as a puff of smoke. The others will have to guess who they are!” |

"Copper Queen" by MJ Kinman
MJ writes of her quilt, "Copper Queen was inspired by the magnificent column still that reigns over Angel's Envy Distillery (Louisville, KY). Glowing with colors of ochre, salmon, magenta, and fuchsia, the three-story-tall still is an honest-to-god 'thing of beauty'."
