Quilt Summary:
"Once Upon a Time" by Sharon Schamber won Best of Show at Road to California 2014.
- - Hand Applique
- - Hand Embroidery
Description:
Once Upon a Time was one of Sharon's oldest UFOs and is entirely hand appliquéd and hand embroidered. Starting it the first year she began quilting, Sharon only finished over ten years later when her good friend Tom Russell came over, had her get it out of the box it'd been in, and made her sit there and finish the hand appliqué and hand embroidery that she hated to do but that he loved. It ended up winning Best of Show at Road to California 2014 and many other awards afterward.
Artist Statement: "I started making this quilt in 2000, then put it aside for over 10 years. It features hand appliqué and embroidery and was quilted on my long arm."
