International Quilt Festival in Houston

This is the first of many blogs where I will share some of my favorite quilts that were displayed at the International Quilt Show in Houston.  To find out more about the show visit http://www.quilts.org

 

Before I start to share quilts that were exhibited at the show I wanted to share one of my students pieces.  Nancy Ault from California took my Magical Medallions-Block One workshop and brought her finished piece to show me.  Nancy added an outline embroidery stitch around each piece of her applique.  Great idea.  And she created a complimentary border for her block.

In the miniature category “Tempest” won third place.  This quilt was made by Kumiko Frydl.  She is from Texas.  I included the ribbon so you could see just how small her quilt is.  Amazing.

George Siciliano from Pennsylvania won second place in the miniature category.  George’s quilt is named “6522” because there are 6522 pieces of Dupioni silk in his small quilt.  There were five winners from Pennsylvania this year.  Way to go Pennsylvanians.  To find out more about George visit his website at http://www.georgesiciliano
