My quilt at the National Quilt Museum

A short detour from thread painting my latest project ...

My quilt, Paint Can Posy, hung in the "I am an Artisan" Challenge exhibit at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY this month. My husband and I were able to see the exhibit this past week when we went to the fall Paducah AQS quilt show.

 I made Paint Can Posy last year for the challenge sponsored by Kaffe Fassett and Free Spirit Fabrics. It hung at the 2017 International Quilt Festival in Houston and I think this is the last exhibit it will travel to before coming home.

 It was machine pieced from mostly Kaffe Fassett's Artisan line of fabrics. I hand appliqued, hand big stitched quilted, hand embroidered and beaded it. Jan Hutchison machine quilted it.

You can see some of the circle appliques made of Cosplay fabrics and more hand embroidered details in this photo.  

I couldn't help but notice this quilt as I entered the National Quilt Museum! 

Mistaken Identity made by Gail Stepanick and Jan Hutchison. Jan is a member of Prairie Quilt Guild and so am I.

The National Quilt Museum now allows non flash photography and I took many photos to enjoy later. So many beautiful quilts so if you ever have the chance to tour the museum, be sure to go!

I am still trying to figure out the blogger comment issues I'm having. Some of you have suggested possible fixes. I've tried them and they haven't worked so I'm still working on it. Unfortunately, my computer is doing some interesting things these days.
Comment Update: This is weird. My husband just noticed that comments are going to his old gmail account!?!

Until next time, Mayleen
