Description:
Samson and Delilah was based on a Hollywod set design by Erté, one of the founding fathers of the art deco movement. Jerry quilted this gargantuan quilt on a BERNINA 440 on a small dining room table in his motor home. Samson and Delilah itself is a multiple award-winning quilt. It won an honorable mention at the MQX Quilt Festival New England 2013, 2nd Place at the NQA 2013 Show, and a 3rd Place at the Georgia Quilt Show, just to name a few of the awards.
