Featured Quilt - First Place Modern Quilts at the 2023 Festival of Quilts Birmingham
This winner at the 2023 Festival of Quilts Birmingham was inspired by the work of one of our guests on The Quilt Show. Balance by Vendulka Battais won 1st Place in the Modern Quilts category at the England quilt show and was constructed using the methods of the one and only Sheila Frampton Cooper. Vendulka says, "After learning from Sheila Frampton Cooper her
wonderful way of constructing quilts, this is my own design. I love the way the two halves of the design are totally different and yet very balanced."
Learn from Sheila right here on The Quilt Show by watching her in Improv with Intention and Working with Jelly Rolls with Sheila Frampton Cooper.
