Featured Quilt - A Quilt to "Rooster" For

Ukrainian quilter and TQS member, Dasha, made Lucky Year for the exhibition "Blossoming Ukraine" NadelWelt in Karlsruhe.

She writes, I really love the appliqué and I wanted to show with this technique how beautiful the nature is at any time of the year in my country. All appliqué with open cuts, it was difficult, but interesting to do.

The Joanna S. Rose Red and White Quilt Exhibit on View
Did You Miss the Red and White Exhibit in NYC in 2011?

In 2011 Mrs. Rose’s husband, Daniel, proposed a special gift for her 80th birthday – a celebration of the Joanna S. Rose Red and White Collection in an exhibition at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. “Infinite Variety: Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts,” coordinated by the American Folk Art Museum, featured 651 extraordinary quilts.  

Joanna Rose donated the Infinite Variety quilts in honor of her husband Daniel and their 63rd wedding anniversary. In the fall of 2021, Mrs. Rose and her family oversaw the transfer of the quilts from their home to the International Quilt Museum.

Now you can take a virtual tour of that exhibit!

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A "Carefree" and Loving Quilt
"Carefree" by Ellen Lindner

Carefree is based on a photo of Ellen's son and his two cousins as they skip down the lane at her parent's farm in Culpeper, Virginia. Ellen says, "These carefree cousins enjoyed kicking up a little dust down on their grandparents' farm."
