Featured Quilt - Best Friends Having Fun!
Today's featured quilt is Catch it, Yuri! by Hiroko Miyama and Masanobu Miyama from Japan. It won 3rd Place Pictorial at Road to California 2023. This quilt will make you smile and then shake your head in amazement as you take a look at all the designs in the background quilting.
Enjoy the scene as a little girl looks on with joy when Yuri, the big golden retriever, jumps to catch a ball and Ponta his friend can hardly wait his turn. Both the dogs and girl were created using fusible appliqué.
