Featured Quilt - Happy (Very Early) Thanksgiving

Believe it or not, we're almost halfway to Thanksgiving. That didn't stop Aki Sakai from celebrating early though, but she might be celebrating for different reasons. Her quilt, Happy Thanksgiving, won the Coats & Clark Best Wall Hand Workmanship Award at AQS Quiltweek 2022 in Paducah. Like all our previously featured Paducah winners this week, Happy Thanksgiving has won more than one award, taking home First Place in the Appliqué category at Houston 2021.
