Featured Quilt - One Quilter, Two Quilts, Amazing Work
We feel in love with Laura L. Pomes' quilt, Inspired Heart (50" x 73"), when we saw it as part of the Wall Quilts - Quilter's Choice exhibition (Sponsored by Elna USA) at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah 2024. From the color selection, to the fussy cut circles, and imaginative use of log cabin blocks, it caught our attention. Then we found out that Laura was also the 1st place winner of the New Quilts From an Old Favorite: Roaring Twenties Exhibition & Contest with her quilt Roses' Roaring Fans. This quilter has a a great imagination and great technical skills. Take a look at her work. |

Museum of Texas Tech University: Finishing Tops |
|
|
Many quilters are stymied by the idea of perfection. Every point must line up and every stitch must be perfect; in reality, finished is far better than perfect. The hang-up about perfection has resulted in too many unfinished quilt tops. Learn more about Linda Fisher and how she finished one of her "abandoned" tops in the latest article from the Museum of Texas Tech University. |
