Remember this wall quilt? I took a photo of it when visiting my folks in San Antonio during Easter. My mom initially made this Colorado scene as a center for a quilt for my brother. Once completed, she realized:
A. It was too delicate for a boy quilt.
B. My brother wouldn’t really appreciate it.
C. It would look darn pretty hanging in their home.
I love this form of quilting. It looks like she is painting with fabric.
I am so glad she kept it because she entered it in a quilt fair recently and guess what? She’s a blue ribbon winner. I am so proud! She used to dominate the Arizona state fair before they moved to Texas.
Nice work Moms!
Actually, the state fair is set to begin here in two weeks and it makes me a little sad I’ll go and not see her art hanging there, laden with rosettes. Instead, I hope to find Amanda’s photography covered in accolades. She’s entering for the first time. Maybe next year I’ll enter. Do you think they have a category for “most falls off a bicycle?”
