Featured Quilt - Third Place Large Quilts: Movable Machine Quilted at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah 2025
Rory's Bunny Garden by Joanne M. Pickett won Third Place - Large Quilts: Movable Machine Quilted (Sponsored by INNOVA) at AQS QuiltWeek - Paducah 2025. Using the Tulips for Oma pattern by Christa Smith (Cotton Berry Quilts, 2020) as her design source, Joanne created this quilt for someone very special in her life. She says, "Rory's Bunny Garden is a tribute to my granddaughter Emory (Rory) Slone Pickett. She selected this beautiful pattern from Cotton Berry Quilts and the color scheme. I made two changes to the pattern; the pieced checkered border and the scalloped border that I saw in American Quilter's Magazine September 2020 issue, the article is titled "Not Your Gramma's Prairie Points"."
After viewing the quilt and its detail photos in the gallery, be sure to click the Quilt Video tab to watch an interview between Joanne and AQS Executive Show Director Michelle Renee Hiatt on the floor of AQS QuiltWeek - Paducah 2025 where they talk about Joanne's quilt, her win, and more in depth. |
