You’d think I would have run out of photos of quilts from the International Quilt Show in Houston…but, no. I still have more to share.
First up is “Hot Africa” and it was one of the top winners. The maker is Janneke DeVries-Bodzinga from The Netherlands. She won “The World of Beauty Award” which is sponsored by eQuilter.com
I mentioned in previous blogs that Japan was well represented at this year’s show. Here is another incredible Japanese made applique quilt. The maker’s name is Fusako Takido and the name of the quilt is “Arrangement”.
Here is a nice close-up shot of this wonderful quilt.
And another. Just in case you did not think I really liked this quilt. This shows the detail along the border.
This quilt was also made by a Japanese artist, Setsuko Matsushima. The name of her quilt is “The Age of Discovery”. It won first place in the Handmade category.
Maybe I should have called this blog “The Amazingly Beautiful Quilts of Japan!” “Floral Decoration” was made by Junko Chiku from Japan.
A close-up shot.
And the final stunning applique quilt for this blog won second place in the Traditional Applique category. The name of the quilt is “My Journey to Baltimore” and was made by Lois Podolny from Tucson, Arizona.
Have a great week.
I am off to New York City to teach this weekend. I hope the weatherman is correct. It is supposed to be in the 50’s!!!
