Vitamin C wins major award at Vermont Quilt Festival



Marion Perrault and I collaborated on this quilt, which won the Founder's Award at the Vermont Quilt Festival recently. Unfortunately Marion could not attend the festival, so is missing from this photo. The piece measures 49.5" x 50" which seemed huge when we were making it, but looks so small here. The detail shows some of the quilting, done by me on my hand-dyed fabric (cotton and silk) using silk thread.
