Featured Quilt - Second Place Hand Crafted / Hand Made at Houston 2023
Flower Calendar by Sachiko Chiba won Second Place in the Hand Crafted / Hand Made category (Sponsored by Flynn Quilt Frame Company) at the 2023 Houston International Quilt Festival. Sachiko says of why she wanted to make this quilt, "We are always soothed by beautiful flowers. I wanted to express these seasonal flowers in my quilt. It took me a long time to create this design. I carefully selected various fabrics and had a hard time expressing the characteristics of each flower. I'm so happy I am able to complete this quilt to my satisfaction."

What Historically Has Influenced Quilts?
Presented by the International Quilt Museum, "Do you like scrappy quilts? Quilts with feedback? Quilts used to express political messages, activist impulses, or group allegiance? How about Sears Century of Progress contest quilts or Kansas City Star pattern quilts? Maybe you love looking at historical photos that show quilts and textiles being made or used. Join historian Janneken Smucker and collector/author Roderick Kiracofe for A New Deal for Quilts. They will discuss the many cultural, social, political, and economic influences that shaped quilts and quiltmaking during the Great Depression."
