From Mancuso: "Pacific International Quilt Festival is returning to Santa Clara, CA for its 33rd year. As always, the show promises incredible merchants offering a wide variety of products for quilters, textile & wearable artists, and the sewing arts. In addition, PIQF will present the finest collections of quilting arts on display, including competition entries and special exhibits. Rounding out the event will be a fashion show, a Quilters Adventure Tour, appraisals, workshops, and lectures presented by internationally known instructors."
Did you see the PIQF 2021 Best of Show, A Summer Christmas, in our Friday Newsletter? If you did, you're probably wondering how Mariya Waters and Gina Perkes-Tidwell put together such an immaculate quilt. Well, Gina has been kind enough to provide us with some up close photos of Mariya's hand appliqué and her machine work on her BERNINA Q20 while they were putting it together. Come take a look and see an award-winning quilt being born.
Officially recognized as Quilt Week in the city of Santa Clara, CA, PIQF is proud to announce its thirtieth year!
