Great News....

I had a wonderful phone call yesterday from Liz Villalobos. I was a totally surprise to hear that Liz's quilt 'Astrum Pennaeque' had won The Best in Show, Best Bed Quilt and the Best Longarm Award at The Great Northern Quilt Show, Harrogate, Yorkshire. UK. This quilt was pieced by Liz and freemotion, handquided (with the help of some rulers) quilted by me, Kay Bell at Borderline Quilter. I hadn't realised Liz had entered her quilt so I was totally amazed. Congratulations to both of us. Liz, thank you for choosing me to quilt for you.

Grosvenor Shows quickly released a photo showing how well a quilt can look when it's beautifully hung and lit and here it is..... you can also click on the following link to see close up photos of the quilting Liz's Lone Star 'Astrum Pennaeque'.
