Featured Quilt - Viewers' Choice Award Houston 2021
Announcing the Viewers' Choice Award from Houston! It's Welcome Home (93" x 65") by David Taylor! (Show 406) David's quilt was inspired by a photo of one of Margo Clabo's quilts. David says, "It took years to convince my friend Margo Clabo to grant me permission to adapt her heartwarming photo into a quilt. I knew from the beginning it would be a huge undertaking as I could only imagine it at this size." Learn more about the quilt from David, and hear from Margo about her original quilt, by reading the blog. Then zoom in on close-ups of the quilt by viewing it in the Featured Gallery.
