While we anxiously await the unveiling of Ricky Tims' mural of his award-winning quilt, The Visitation, a new mural has joined the wall masterpiece murals in Paducah, Kentucky as part of their Quilt City USA Murals Project. Mary's Mural, depicting a Vintage Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt, was brought to life by lead artist Char Downs and Stefanie Graves, and took center stage as it was made public for the first time this June in a grand ceremony.
"During the April 2022 AQS QuiltWeek event in Paducah, KY, AccuQuilt Cutting Expert, Pam Heller, was able to visit the Flood Wall and speak with the lead project artist, Char Downs." Char is responsible for painting the quilt mural on the Flood Wall, with hopes to have the entire wall covered in painted quilt murals.
