Another beautiful winner from the Houston International Quilt Festival. This quilt by Kyra Reps of Northwood, Iowa, won THE GRACE COMPANY MASTER AWARD FOR TRADITIONAL ARTISTRY. Kyra will receive $5,000 for her original design, "Pathfinder."

About her quilt, Kyra remarked, “Every mandala is as unique as the person creating it. This quilt is made solely of turned-edge hand appliqué and each piece was individually hand sewn. I brought her to life with my free-motion quilting. Pathfinder, with all her colors and of course, her dots, just makes me happy. In a world that isn’t always so colorful, I hope you smile when you look at her, too!”

A favorite award winning friend of ours, Janet Stone, won $5,000 for "Butterflies, Bees, and AlphabeTrees" at the 2024 International Quilt Festival in Houston. Her award was for THE EQUILTER.COM MASTER AWARD FOR MACHINE ARTISTRY, Sponsored by eQuilter.com

Janet said this about her quilt: “I have had the word ‘AlphabeTrees’ in my head for a while and always wanted to make a quilt featuring trees to use that word. The gold letters were free-motion embroidered, and the cream-colored backgrounds were appliquèd using a decorative stitch.”

Have you ever attended the International Quilt Festival in Houston? This year's show will be held October 31 - November 3, 2024.

"Still Life," an original design, by Chen Jing of Beijing, China won
THE HANDI QUILTER BEST OF SHOW AWARD ($12,500)

Artist’s Statement: “I wanted to use silk to express a realistic still-life painting, including the picture and the frame. The realistic effect of the picture frame was achieved using embroidery by manually controlling it on a stationary machine. At the same time, I wanted to explore unique free-motion quilting to present different picture effects on the front and back of the work.”

This morning, I was in a restaurant in Redlands called Martha Green’s. I was by myself and had a nice breakfast. When I went to pay, they told me that someone had paid my bill. I was so surprised and just thrilled. I have no idea who it was. It totally made my day. I will make a point to pay it forward. What a great way to start the day!

At our Temecula Quilt Retreats, we also get to meet and admire quilt projects from members of other quilt groups also spending some time at the center.

This is Sandra from the Kwanzee Quilter, a Friendship Quilt Group from Yorba Linda, California. We loved the color pattern in this quilt.

One of the hardest parts of evacuation during the Bridge Fire was leaving my quilts. There was not enough time to even think about which quilts to take and I decided that I could always make more! So I took great pleasure in putting up my Autumn quilts and decorations yesterday. Hope you like them!
