Description:
The title of Karen K. Stone's quilt, Been There Before, is an appropriate one as she has certainly been there before. Where is there you may ask? Why it's the winner's circle, because her quilt, like many of hers before this, has won an award. This particular quilt took home Third Place - Small Wall Quilts: Stationary Machine Quilted (Sponsored by Koala Studios presented by Calico Country Sew & Vac) at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah 2023, and before that won 1st Place - Open Division: Art Quilts (303) at the 2023 Dallas Quilt Show. About the making of her work, Karen says that Been There Before is "Improvisationally pieced from commercial cottons and my hand-dyes; machine quilted using cotton batting and cotton & silk threads."
