Featured Quilt - Second Place Hand Quilted Quilts at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah 2024
My Secret Garden by Megumi Mizuno won Second Place - Hand Quilted Quilts (Sponsored by Arrow Sewing) at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah 2024. This original design features a staggering amount of hexagons that is far too great to count individually, all put together by hand. The secret to this quilt though may not be how Megumi accomplished this amazing hand work, but rather, how many bunny rabbits she hid throughout the quilt in her secret garden. How many can you find?

"Markets of India" by Pati Fried
The idea for Markets Of India originally came from being approached by Freddy Moran to recreate a quilt from Roderick Kiracofe's book, Uncovential and Unexpected: American Quilts Below the Radar 1950 - 2000. Pati liked the idea and told Freddy that she would make one too. Freddy being Freddy finished hers in about a week, while Pati struggled to create hers. She felt she was doing the legwork for it but not putting any of herself into it. So she set it aside, and then took a trip to India. Inspired by the experience, she returned home and chopped up what she had started of the initial quilt and created Markets Of India as it is today. She cut up the strata she
had made to make pots like she had seen in India and stacked them high to represent the not always aligned and slightly askewed nature of everything she saw in the markets there.
