Here are some more of my favorite quilts from the American Quilter’s Society show held in Paducah. www.americanquilter.com
Melinda Bula won a Judge’s Choice award for her quilt “Monet in Pasadena”.
“Spring Gift” was made by Junko Suziki from Japan. This piece was beautifully hand quilted.
Here are some detail shots.
“Days of Wine and Roses” was made by Cathleen Miller from Albuquerque, NM. It won second place in the “Bed Quilts-Hand Quilted” category.
Cathleen said that she will be celebrating her 45 wedding anniversary this year and it took her husband 44 years to realize that roses and a bottle of wine make the perfect gift. This quilt is also beautifully hand quilted.
“The Present of the Wind” was made by Masako Kumagawa from Japan.
This quilt is also beautifully hand quilted.
Terry Engleman from Spokane, Washington made “Terry’s Japanese Flower Garden” using my Japanese Garden pattern and won second place. Terry won in the “1st Entry in an AQS contest” category. Way to go Terry.

Barbara Root sent me this photo of her finished quilt using my “Around the Garden” pattern. Barbara named her quilt “Portals of Pleasure”. She entered it in her local quilt guild show and won second place in the applique category. Barbara took this class when I taught in Kamloops, Canada a couple of years ago. I love how she finished it with a curved edge. And I also know just how much work went into this little project. Very well done Barbara.
This week I had a really long drive to get to the guild where I was teaching! I just had to go to Allentown (Emmaus), PA. It’s only about an hour and a half away from my house. It was really nice to have a short trip. I worked with the Crazy Quilter’s Quilt Guild http://www.crazyquilters.org This is a very active guild and if you live in the area you certainly want to be part of this guild.
Until next week…..
