Birgit Schueller of Germany runs for a number of reasons. She writes "To me running is freedom, running allows me to break free from the stress and restrictions of everyday life.!"
Her quilt, The Sprinter, (just like a long run) takes our breath away. Not only innovative in design, the machine quilting is truly gold medal winning.

William and Tony’s Magical World is a visual representation of a verbal description given by Kris' children when they were younger. She asked them, "What's magic?" and what is shown in the quilt is what they told her. According to Kris, one child thinks the knight is defending the castle from the dragon, while the other thinks the dragon is protecting the castle from the knight.
