Featured Quilt - Houston 2021 Master Award For Innovative Artistry

Just Thinking by Jill Kerttula won The Janome Master Award For Innovative Artistry at Houston 2021. This quilt was Jill's reflection on the past year and how it affected her and the world at large. “During 2020 we did a lot of this; just sitting and thinking. About the political world, our home and family, the creative world, and our health. This piece started as a self portrait printed on fabric. Additional fabrics were then appliquéd, layered, and woven into and onto the portrait. Texture was added with stitch, and painting helped to merge the fabrics with the photograph so they melded together.”

Our Guests Love The Show As Much As You Do!
