In the Garden Vicki's Version

Vickie Coykendall used my pattern "In the Garden" to make this quilt years ago. It was the first thing spotted at the Genesee Valley Quilt Show. When I spoke with Vickie, we agreed that although it was originally a raffle quilt, why not again. What do you say? Here is the original. Pattern on my website.

 

Hanging With My Quilt Show Friends

Yesterday I was invited to talk about the exhibit of the NJ/NY SAQA group "By Contrast." It was part of the Genesee Valley Quilt Fest, and I felt at home with friends I've known for years, as well as some in the recent times. This SAQA show will travel for two more venues. Then my work (seen behind me) is home.
 

Thanks for Picking Me

My home base quilt group the Genesee Valley Quilt Club awarded me the ribbon (and a prize) for Best Surface Design for my work Time of Day: Coffee Break. The show has the full gamut of quilts, and I am in wildly talented company. See the show in Rochester this weekend at the RIT campus. Info at  http://www.geneseevalleyquiltfest.com/index.htm

Rewards of the Day

Many know that Pink Leaf 2 from Quilt National 2009. After traveling, it was too "old" for other venues, but for my Genesee Valley QuiltFest it was fine. Happy to show it off, and more wonderful (and surprising) to take first place for Art Quilt, and a Surface Design award. (Now I can purchase a new front door!)
