Featured Garment - Quilt Creations 1st Place Winner at the 2023 Festival of Quilts
Birmingham
Congratulations to this year's Quilt Creations 1st Place Winner at the 2023 Festival of Quilts Birmingham, Jenny Pudney and her quilted garment Indigo Yogi. Jenny says about her work, "This piece was my final project for the Master Quilter course. The indigo dyeing used the shibori techniques of clamping, arashi and stitch resist. The patchwork blocks used techniques covered in the course and the instructions for constructing a yogi came from Susan Briscoe's 'Book of Boro'."

These Two Guests Provide an Excellent One-Two Punch!
Kestrel Michaud has
quickly become one of our most popular guests and it isn't hard to see why. Our members can't get enough of her imaginative realism quilts that depict everything from video game characters to sushi. Here's just a small sampling of the praise that Kestrel and co-guest Sarah Vedeler are receiving:
"Wow what an wonderfully innovative, creative show, a show I know I will revisit. This show alone is worth the cost of the yearly subscription to TQS." - Pamela N.
"Great show! I loved Kestrel's quilts and techniques and Sarah has given me something to think about." - Eileen K.
