Featured Quilt - Second Place Hand Quilting / Handmade at Houston
2021
A quilt's story is sometimes more beautiful than the quilt itself, but in this case both are equally great. Nancy Kearns' quilt, A Walk In the Meadow with Ellen, won Second Place in the Hand Quilting / Handmade category at Houston 2021, and is all about her friendship with the pattern's designer, Ellen Heck.
Nancy says, "When I first met Ellen Heck, I fell in love with her appliqué designs. It took several years for me to collect all of her patterns. In the meantime, I became good friends with Ellen. This quilt will always represent that friendship to me."

"In Time of Friendship" by Linda Franz
In Time of Friendship was Linda's first bed quilt and was made almost entirely by hand. Hand stitching, hand appliqué, hand piecing, the only time a machine touched it was the first stitching of the binding. It won First Place in the Traditional quilts category in Paducah in 2000, and it is her interpretation of a Dear Jane quilt.
