Featured Quilt - Third Place Traditional at PIQF 2021

Some quilts take more time than others to make. This is not a new concept or idea to a quilter, but those quilters who do invest the time and work into their quilting know that the rewards are worth the wait. Take Claudia C Myers, whose quilt, Sicilian Summer, won Third Place in the Traditional category at PIQF 2021, and took more than a year to complete. "The making and machine quilting of "Sicilian Summer" took all of the time we were quarantined from the Covid-19 virus, and then some. I am fortunate that I have a large stash of fabric and thread so I didn't have to make a trip to the Quilt Shop Curb to pick-up the supplies. I designed this quilt on EQ7 and made it trying out a new way of appliqué construction, rather than curved piecing."
