Featured Quilt - First Place Pictorial Road to California 22

Fabulous Welcome by Brigitte Villeneuve, Diane Coté, and Doris Boivin won First Place - Pictorial at Road to California 2022 and Second Place - Pictorial at Houston 2021. On the inspiration for their work, they said, "Each fall, people on board cruise ships docking at LaBaie, Saguenay, among migrating snow geese, are greeted by volunteers from a local show, Fabulous Story of a Kingdom. Music, dancing, and tasting local dishes are all part of a Fabulous Welcome."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Dirty Name for a Beautiful Quilt
"Mud" by Alex Anderson

Alex's quilt, Mud, adorned the set for our latest show featuring her and Ricky discussing and demonstrating the merits of hand quilting versus machine quilting. As to why she named the quilt as she did, "Mud - I love Polly C Boyden's poem about Mud. "No one but the yellow rose knows how good mud feels between the toes". Perfect inspiration for a yellow rose of sharon quilt."

Learn from Alex by watching her in How to Do Hand Quilting and How to Do Machine Quilting with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims.
