Featured Quilt - First Place Hand Quilted Quilts (Sponsored by Arrow Sewing) at
AQS Quiltweek Paducah 2023
Kyoko Yamauchi's beautifully hand quilted quilt, With A Wish To The Stars, took home, what else but the First Place - Hand Quilted Quilts (Sponsored by Arrow Sewing) award at AQS Quiltweek Paducah 2023. With colorful floral decor circling the quilt and more nature-inspired designs throughout, Kyoko's work will inspire you to reach for the stars and make your next quilt the best it can be.
Here's what Kyoko had to say about what inspired her to make the quilt, "Peonies delight us with their large blossoms in our garden in spring. These peonies bloom early, but they also fall early. At night, while watching the stars in the garden, I was thankful for the peace and tranquility of everyday life, and I wanted to preserve it in some form, so I expressed it in my favorite quilt."

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Braiding Up A Sample

"French Braid Sampler" by Jane Hardy Miller
French Braid
Sampler is a variation of the cover quilt from Jane's 2014 book, French Braid Quilts with a Twist. Since a lot of French Braid quilts normally contain big squares, Jane wanted to see what one would look like in a sampler setting. So she tried it out on this quilt and really enjoyed how it would turn out.
