Last Friday was the opening reception for the Show called Stitched. Here in Memphis Tennessee! Can you imagine seeing over 250 quilts ALL predominantly in blue color in one room?
The requirements were to make a stitched three layer quilt with any material but a measurement of 24" by 24". Oh.. what a feast for the eyes.
These are some of the quilts from the Show; some have been made with paper and fabric!! I apologize for not having the names for every artist but the labels were very small and the venue was crowded. Enjoy.

from my friend Ronda. She did a Memphis landmark, clever idea!
from my friend Nancy
Here is my friend Vanessa posing with her quilt (on top center). She overdyed the whole quilt after she finished sewing the three layers together, what a brave woman!
From my friend Patricia. She used paper and fabric.
From my friend Jeannie, the last quilt she made. I am sad she was not able to see it hanging in the show. We will miss you!
Bernice Johnson is the quilter standing in the middle. She made the quilt on the back with more than 1,000 2 square pieces. What a patience!

In just a few days I will be teaching this technique in my coming workshop at The Dairy Barn Art Center. It is my first time participating in Quilt National
