Featured Quilt - Road to California 2023 Best of Show
It's Friday and we are right in the midst of Road to California 2023, so we are bringing you the Best of Show directly from the exhibit hall floor. Flowers in full bloom to Kirara by Ayako Kawakami won Best of Show at Road to California 2023. Ayako made this amazing hand quilted and hand embroidered quilt as a gift for her daughter.
She says, "I made this quilt for my daughter who loves flowers. My daughter will come of age this year. I made this quilt in the hope that she will be able to spend her coming of age with a bright smile. It is my style to make quilts with embroidery. I embroidered the embroidery design as I thought of it without drafting
it. The heart motif is crazyquilts. The quilt is hand quilting and Japanese sashiko (boro). And I enjoyed the many colonial knot stitches."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: A Natural Neutral Quilt
|

"White Out" by Maria Shell
After requests from some of her followers on Instagram, Maria
decided to create a more minimal and calm quilt than the kind she is used to making. Minimal in the sense that the color choices are subtler, not in the style of quilt that she makes. From that request, White Out was born. It features a restricted palette, very much pastels, but is the same block style used in a previous quilt of hers called Bliss. In the making of the quilt, Maria wanted to stick strictly with neutrals and pastels in an effort to keep it as light as possible. But as she was working she couldn't help herself and kept splicing in brighter pastels because she just loves contrast.
