As has been mentioned once or twice around here, our very own Ricky Tims won Best of Show at this year's Houston International Quilt Festival for his quilt, The Visitation. The quilt is quite the sight to see on its own, but knowing the story behind it gives it a personal connection that will help you to appreciate it on a deeper level. Our friends at BERNINA interviewed Ricky on the floor of Houston to get that story, take a look at his career in quilting, and more.
From BERNINA:
"Join us as Ricky Tims talks about his quilt, "The Visitation," which received the Best of Show Award at this year's Houston International Quilt Show. We couldn't be more excited for Ricky!"
Plus, in case you haven't heard, Ricky and company are looking to turn The Visitation into a mural in Paducah, KY as part of The Quilt Mural Project. They need your help to fund it and are halfway towards their goal. Find out how you can participate in making this dream a reality and help make The Visitation last for generations to come.
