Sharon is a friend of my daughter. We were at Road2CA when Sharon's quilt won the $100K challenge. I had found a gorgeous threadpainted quilt and loved it. I kept trying to find it again to show my daughter. When I finally found it her comment (long-suffering and slightly snarky) "Mother, that's the back side of Sharon's quilt." It was, and I still loved it. When she appliques she used different thread for each element so the back of the quilt (she uses solid black a lot) is the most gorgeous thread painting you've ever seen.
