“Out to Pasture”
47" x 37" • BEV HARING
HONORABLE MENTION
“My dad could make just about
any vehicle run—sometimes by
using parts and pieces from many
diverse sources. The working title
of this piece was ‘What Would
Dad Do?’ because of the two
different badging on this truck—
is it a Ford or a Mercury?!
Dad’s been gone for a while now,
so this quilt is part of the
pieces of my past.”
“From Rags to Stitches”
51" x 66" • FLORA JOY
HONORABLE MENTION
“I slept under a Dutch doll quilt (hand-
made by my mom) during my entire
childhood, and that experience made me
want to be a quilter. Numerous efforts
gradually progressed to THIS quilt, which I
now call my ‘fabric/quilting autobiography.’
The fabric and embellishments in each
doll reflects a different time in my sewing/
quilting life. Twelve separate, free-standing
curvy blocks have been sewn (at their top
borders) to a separate base quilt. Viewers
can lift each Sunbonnet Sue to read that
block’s unusual (true) story and glean
numerous tips for making their own similar
blocks.”
