Featured Quilt - Third Place Pictorial-Small at Houston 2023
Sons of Sons of Kings by Georgia Williams, and quilted by Dena Angela Miskel, won Third Place - Pictorial-Small (Sponsored by AllBrands.com) at the 2023 Houston International Quilt Festival. Georgia was very happy to make this quilt and bring history to life for quilters and everyone else who got to see it. She says, "What an honor it was for me to create this quilt of our first Black congressman as a visual Black History teaching moment. Using the public domain image from the Library of Congress, I hope to enlighten individuals who are unaware. Due to segregation laws, our presence in Congress unjustly came to a halt in 1901. We did not regain our rightful place in Congress until
1928. This brought about a new sense of hope, albeit an arduous journey forward!"

Get a Better Perspective
This useful reverse magnifying lens helps you to avoid layout and design issues by shrinking what you view through it, allowing you to see your work as though from a distance and making things that you may not have noticed close up, stand out.

"Bailey" by Pat Durbin
This is Pat's daughter Carol's dog, Bailey, looking hopeful. The image was painted with fabric paints on white cotton. The next step was to stitch the fur with many different colors of thread free-motion style. Then she sandwiched it with batting and quilted the rest. It is a fun technique and effective for that furry look.
See more of Pat's quilts in How to Make Mosaic Quilts with Pat Durbin.
